โทรไม่ติด

Explanation

This common verb phrase consists of โทร, “to call,” and ไม่ติด, “not to connect.” It describes an attempted phone call that fails to establish a connection. To name the person being called, the usual pattern is โทรหา + person + ไม่ติด. For example, ฉันโทรหาเขาไม่ติด means “I tried calling him, but I couldn't get through.” The phrase does not specify why the call failed. The phone may be off, out of range, or affected by a network problem.

Usage

It is commonly used when telling someone that calls to a friend or family member will not connect, when a person cannot be reached by phone, or when reporting a calling problem to a mobile carrier or support desk.

Caution

If the phone rings but the person does not answer, ไม่รับสาย (“not answer the phone”) is more precise. สายไม่ว่าง means the line is busy, while ไม่มีสัญญาณ means there is no signal.
