This connection is temporarily unavailable: you can do that

If a voice says to you on the phone "This connection is temporarily unavailable", there are various reasons for this message. We clarify which these are in this practical tip.

"This connection is temporarily unavailable" - that means the message

An important finding in advance: If you are informed of this message when you are on the phone, it is at least certain that the respective connection is available.

• It only means that the connection is currently not available.
• Either the user has unplugged his phone, he is on the phone himself or there is a temporary line problem.
• It is best to try again later to reach the participant.

You cannot reach the participant permanently - what to do?

If the message continues to appear on subsequent calls and for several days, there is probably another reason.

• It is possible that the user has blocked your number and does not want to be contacted by yours.
• It is also possible that you call yourself on a suppressed number. The subscriber can generally have calls with suppressed numbers blocked.
• If you assume that the participant wants to speak to you, you can try calling him on another number.
