Cant call 1800 numbers

This seems to be more than 1800 numbers as well I'm now trying to call a number from an 828 area code and still cannot. My phone will still make calls to certain people. 

Hi there @Urke, we understand the impact of making calls.

It has been a known issue of 1800 numbers unable to be dailed. Our technicians are working on it right now to have it resolved.

In the meantime, please power cycle the device and make another attempt. Also please provide the following answers:

• What device/cellphone are you currently using at this time?
• What active wireless plan do you have?
• Have you received any errors when trying to call a 1800 number? If so, what does it say?

We hope this information helps.

I am having the same problem on my galaxy s23+. Tried power off and on in safe mode but still have the issue.

I too have been having issues with an 888 number. I've been in touch with tech support multiple times for them to tell me its not their problem. I have no issues dialing the 888 number from my old phone which is not ATT. I feel it is definitely an ATT issue. I'm using an ATT supplied s22ultra phone with service. Its just sad to pay good money for mediocre service.
