Additional information:
Symbio has mitigated the issue impacting outbound call connectivity in Singapore for services presenting a +65 CLI. As part of our ongoing compliance activities, Symbio issued a Change Notice on 1 October 2026 advising wholesalers to populate the X-Origination-Location header based on the actual end-user origination location of the call. Where an X-Origination-Location header is not provided, Symbio will continue to treat outbound calls as nationally originated. Since issuing that notice, Symbio has implemented further enhancements to support compliance with the IMDA Standardisation of Caller Display requirements, which mandate that domestic originated and terminated calls must not present the "+" prefix and country code "65" in the calling line identity. During our investigation, we observed calls being presented with a +656 CLI, which resulted in those calls being rejected. To restore service, we have temporarily rolled back the recent enhancement. We will be engaging with affected customers to discuss a compliant long-term solution and the required handling of call origination information going forward. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while we worked to restore service.
