Really strange one I'm struggling with at the moment. I'm on a UK SIM and my family member is on a French SIM whom I'm visiting just now. They can call/text me, but I can't do either. Texts just disappear and calls go straight to voicemail. They can call other Uk numbers with no problems. I have both phones in my hands. Both are iphones fully up to date. Where to start troubleshooting this?

I’m assuming you are in the UK? We're both in France. I've tried changing my roaming network with no change. I can contact other people just fine.

If so there are issues (and have been for years) with text disappearing into the ether. IIRC it was worst on S African SPs. The fact that calls do not connect and texts get lost suggests you may not have the apn etc set up correctly.

If yes it seems to imply the network can reach that phone and your number is being actively rejected by the iPhone for some reason. Has your number been blocked on the French phone by accident? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphe4b3f7823/ios

Phone calls going straight to voicemail makes sense there. I suspect
your statement that "texts just disappear" in your OP probably confused
matters. Messages from blocked senders are received - they just show up
in a different section of the Messages app ("Blocked Senders", IIRC).

No options for setting an apn here. I can select a roaming network and that's it.
