VoIP calls from an Indonesian phone number to another Indonesian phone number are often blocked by Indonesian telecom networks.
This is a regulatory and network-enforced restriction, not a technical issue, and not specific to Talk360.
What This Means for You
❌ Indonesian number → Indonesian number: Not supported in most cases
✅ Indonesian number → International number: Supported
✅ International number → Indonesian number: Supported
These rules apply across Indonesia and affect all internet-based calling services, not just Talk360.
Why Indonesia Blocks Local-to-Local VoIP Calls
Indonesian regulators require telecom carriers to strictly control how international and internet-based calls enter the Indonesian phone network.
These rules exist to protect local telecom operators and enforce national telecom regulations.
To enforce this, Indonesian carriers must block calls that:
Are routed internationally, and
Display an Indonesian caller ID (+62), and
Are not confirmed as a genuine mobile roaming call
Because Talk360 is a VoIP service and not a local Indonesian telecom operator, calls that appear to be Indonesian-to-Indonesian are often blocked automatically by Indonesian networks.
What You Might Experience
When trying to call an Indonesian number from another Indonesian number using Talk360, you may notice:
Calls that fail immediately
Calls that never ring
Inconsistent call behaviour
This is expected under Indonesian telecom rules and does not mean:
Your account is blocked
Your balance is missing
The app is broken
Can Talk360 Request an Exception?
No.
There is:
No approval or exception process
No way for individual apps to request special permission
These rules apply equally to all VoIP providers.
This is why Talk360 must follow these regulations strictly.
What You Can Do Instead
✅ Use Talk360 to make international calls
🌍 If you are calling Indonesia from abroad:
Use a non-Indonesian caller ID
This is the most reliable setup
⚠️ Attempting to bypass these restrictions is not supported and may be illegal.
Important to Know
These limitations are enforced by Indonesian telecom networks
VPNs or routing tricks will not solve this
Call behavior may change without notice based on carrier rules
These restrictions are outside Talk360's control
Key Takeaway
Local-to-local VoIP calls in Indonesia are often blocked by regulation
This is a legal restriction, not a technical problem
The same rules apply to all VoIP services
International calling is supported
If a call between Indonesian numbers fails, this is expected behavior, not a bug
