I've got trouble calling an iPhone from Google fi

Maybe one of the brilliant minds here can help. Apple is a joke and so is Google fi support. I ported out an iPhone to Sprint because iPhone service on Google Fi sucks. Now whenever I call that iPhone from one of my Google Fi lines I get a busy signal or sometimes the call just ends. I can send texts to the iPhone and the iPhone can call me and received other calls.

WTF?

Apple is a joke because you can't get calls from Google Fi to go through to it. Which appear to never actually get to the iPhone which functions OK in all other respects? Yeah, that makes sense... lol

If the calls aren't getting out of Google Fi/Sprint to hit the iPhone, then you obviously need to look at something other than the iPhone. Probably related to the porting/release of the number. Out-going calls from Google Fi to that number likely fail because Google still is seeing and trying to hit it on its internal network. In-coming calling from it works because their internal call routing wouldn't apply to outside calls from whatever number.

You can but it does not switch carriers or make wifi calls. You also can't use visual voicemail and you're stuck to using T-Mobile.
