    This can be caused by a problem with the local BT exchange interconnect. Check the service status for faults. If it is still not working after the Bank Holiday & no faults are indicated then contact customer services.

    Welcome back to our Community Forums and thanks for your post. 

    I am sorry to hear you are having some issues calling other landlines.

    Can you confirm if you are using the area coding when dialing the number?

    Are you receiving calls okay?

    "Sorry, this number is Temporarily Unavailable. Please try again later" messages usually mean you are dialling correctly. I had a VoIP phone a while ago, & if I disconnected it from the router for any reason callers would get this message.
