I have pre-paid plan with 100 talk minutes for my iPhone 5 SE that does not allow me to make any phone calls while I can use it for text and data.

I keep getting the message “your T-Mobile prepaid balance is too low to complete this call, you must renew your plan or refill your account to complete this call”. I have auto-pay setup and account was paid on time.

  • How do I check how many minutes of talk time I have remaining
    • #BAL# does tell me
    • checked on pre-paid my-tmobile and there is no record shown when filter for talk

I checked with the local t-mobile store and they replaced the sim card .. did not help. 

 

Is there any suggestion on what could be wrong?

Being such an old device.  Does the iPhone 5SE support T-Mobile’s VoLTE?  Did you purchase the device from T-Mobile?

Sorry, my mistake. It is the latest iPhone SE bought directly from Apple. Yes it does support VoLTE and I have it setup for “Voice & Data”.
