I'm using an LG. I live in Toronto. My data and wifi work perfectly fine but for some odd reason I can't make or receive phone calls. 

Best answer by Dinh

I'm in New Brunswick and having the same issue with my LG phone. My husband has the same phone and isn't having the issue. 

The problem was the google app. You can go to settings » app & notifications » app info » select “google" and “Disable” it. That should work. I just tested. 

This is a temporary fix while waiting for Google/LG to figure out what happened.

Have you tried restarting your phone? What about the calls, what does it say when you are making a call?

I'm having the same issue! I noticed it yesterday and have tried everything. Reset network settings, reset phone, took out sim card...nothing is fixing it. I'm also with LG. Only phone calls are affected, but my data and wifi still work. GTA area here as well.

When someone calls me it goes straight to voicemail. When I call out I don't get an error message...it says it's dialing but it's not actually ringing. It just sits on that screen forever until I end the call.

I'm having the exact same issue here in Kingston! Was working ok last night. Been having "garbled" or broken voicemail for the last several weeks as well.

It could be from a network issue in the area. Have you checked people using Telus/bell/virgin mobile around you? Did they have similar issue?

That's exactly what's happening here! My daughter called Koodo, they claim there isn't any such issues and hung up on her!

Time to get a new provider!!!!

Restart doesn't help. And Koodo isn't any help either, calling a number that's complained about non-existent phone services????????

A Koodo rep was messaging with me and claimed the problem was fixed yesterday. Told me to do a factory reset on my phone and everything would be ok to go. In reality, all that did was reset my phone...... but still no calling services.

I have to wonder........will Koodo reimburse customers for the services not rendered??????
