customer support is the worst ever

I lost my Wi-Fi calling (again) so had to call customer support on my lap top via Skype which costs . Why oh why can’t you talk to customer support via their online app or via WhatsApp or some other online medium or even send an email!!!!! Two hours later the last technical operator couldn’t speak English so he said he would get a colleague that speaks English to call me .I explained no one can reach me as I have no mobile signal on my house . 5 times in Portuguese I explained I need to wait. The Nasty man just cut my call.  Two hours of being bounced around to technicians that couldn’t help me and listing to the worst music in the world . I am fuming . I will make an official complaint once I have my sanity back. For a technical company they are ver LOW TECH. Rubbish I can’t wait to change my provider

Hello everyone, 

We appreciate your feedback. 

From what we concluded no change were made on the NOS end. As stated, the service only works when the terminal device is connected to a network that uses a external Portuguese IP address.

If the device is connected to a network that is using an external IP outside the stated range of IP’s, the Wi-Fi calling will not work. 

Let us know if you have any questions. We’re always available to assist.

Thank you

More than a month ago this screen used to say NOS WiFi, now No Service.
Too difficult to solve it seems.
In my region, no WiFi calling means unusable phone.
Very sad really that a company, once advanced, can slide down this fast.
Too bad, I am off to MEO.

I’m off , started the process yesterday. How to make a big company such as Nos accountable for illegal blocking . Any ideas let me know , I’m retired , I have time but no money for big tech lawyers

Hello @Susan Hillard,

Thank you for your feedback. 

We’re still following up on this with NOS technical teams to better understand the issue. As soon as we have more information we’ll share it here.

We apologize for the wait.

Thank you

Well it’s been over a month , so I think your technical team need to sort them selves out. I am trying to find proof that you are blocking starlink  . The more evidence I gain the more I’m convinced . You did the same with my last satélite internet provider and I ended up have to get a VoIP account at great expense . You cannot be allowed to get away with this. Maybe it’s another team of experts you need to consult

Good afternoon @Susan Hillard, @Michel Liesmons and the rest of the community . 

After analyzing this matter along with the NOS specialized teams, we’ve come to share with you the conclusions taken.

The Wi-Fi calling functionality is intended to be used only in nacional territory, where the terminal (smartphone) needs to be connected to national public IP address.

Even if your router is in Portugal it could be using a public IP address which is not Portuguese. This case was verified in router from Starlink in Portugal.

In that sense the network (starlink) is being registered as a foreign network, not allowing the end terminal (smartphone) to make use of the Wi-Fi calling functionality due to the restriction first mentioned.

Please let us know if there’s any further questions we can help with.

Thank you
