First things we recommend you should try to use Wi-Fi calling - But if there's a complete network outage, then even Wi-Fi calling won't be able to help you. Wi-Fi calling will help you when you're just in a bad network coverage area, or there's a local issue with a specific tower your phone's trying to connect to. Try following below general troubleshooting steps:
- Be sure to check your device settings to make sure airplane mode is off and data roaming is turned on. In network settings, the Network mode should be set to auto.
- Make sure that cellular data is enabled.
- Ensure that your SIM card is properly installed and hasn't come loose.
- Reset your network settings and check for an update.
If you’ve checked to make sure your phone's settings are set right, you've confirmed you're well within Bobo 4G/5G coverage, and there's no reported of network outage in your area — and yet you're still struggling with network issues. Please contact Bobo support and will help you further troubleshoot any issues with your service.
