Calling works, but instead of voice mail, "Communication cannot be established, verify the number"?

Simon P. 135

I can make and receive calls, I can send and receive SMS messages, Voicemail setup works, but if you call my Fizz number (ported from Fido), instead of voicemail, you get a message "Communication cannot be established, please verify the number and try again."
Clearly this isn't an issue with my device, it's a problem with the system that's not forwarding to voicemail and instead forwards to this error message... what am I supposed to do?

I'm having the same issue, comeing from fido as well.

#MeToo , coming from Videotron, your daddy!

Me too to be honest. New line for me - did not port yet.
This happened me a while back (been on Beta for weeks now) and then the problem was fixed.
Now it's back.
I'm gonna chase this and will report back.

Same here, ported from videotron. Verified and conditional call forward is enabled to the correct number. This is the issue on one of the lines I ported. The second one the voicemail is activated in the online portal but it<S says my number is not recognized.

Juan Medina

The same happens to me, coming from Videotron in both lines I have and, when I call from my own number to the other one, I get a message saying my phone cannot access to the feature, because it is not part of my plan but... I have voicemail enabled on both.
@Fizz, What should we do to fix this?

Is there a solution for this problem?
My wife and I both ported from videotron and a lot of our peer have reported that we're having this issue... They can't leave us a voicemail most of the time; they get the same message as in the OP.
