Samsung Galaxy S8 won't make outgoing calls

[Android Central Question]

My S8 won't make any outgoing calls. I can make incoming ones fine though. When you dial, you get a weird 3 tone beep then silence and it just hangs on dialling. This is a brand new phone. No call barring, no flight mode, no other issues. What gives Samsung, basic fundamentals!!!

Are you sure you have credits for making calls? This doesn't sound like a phone problem since you have tone.

Credits?

I'm on Pay Monthly, definitely I've got leeway to make calls, I've unlimited allowances for it. I assume that 3 tone deep is the traditional Samsung dial tone? UK based.

Ah I've found out that EE is having network issues today for calls and I'm on BT which is linked to EE in that respect. :-(
