Siri says "sorry I can't make a FaceTime call for you now" when I ask her to FaceTime someone. Why?

Please help!

3 things to try:
1. Try switch Siri OFF then after a minute switch back on.
2. Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

TS4079 Siri says, Sorry, I can't make that call. What's up with that?

Siri finds the contact, says it's calling, then comes back saying it can't make this call. This has only happened since iOS7

Didn't know I was in an ipad chat....I was referring to my iphone 5 ever since I installed iOS 7. Also, it's chosen not to text certain people.
I've looked around the net and found a lot of people with the same problem, but haven't found any solutions yet.
Thanks for your help.

Siri says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." When I ask her to call someone

When I ask Siri to call someone she says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." Hard reboot doesn't help and I can't locate any settings that might affect this. Any ideas?

If you have update to the NEW iOS6 and the FaceTime feature is switched "OFF" Siri will NOT make external calls and will say " I'm not permitted to do that" So all you have to do is switch the FaceTime feature "ON" and leave it like that for you to be able to give a voice command to it perform the task of making calls.
GoTo: Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime to “ON/OFF

I am trying to sync my iphone 4 but is says that I can't make or recieve calls it needs to restore

My iphone wont sync cause it says Restore Neede iphone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from itunes. help!!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

When I try to use siri to book an appointment the last step when she says "do you want me to shedule that for you" I say yes and then she says "Sorry I can't do that, very frustrating. Do I have to turn on another setting or something?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

HT204023 Siri only retypes what I say, then she says sorry I can't help you with that. Howmdo I fix iri?

SSiri is unresponsive. She types on the screen whatever I say and then says, sorry I can't help you with that. All I want now is for her to play the voice message I received!

Is Siri able to help you with anything else? Try to ask Siri what the weather is like outside or to create a calendar event.
Also, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Siri

My phone says it can't make or receive calls but it sends texts. How do I fix it?

haynes88,
Yikes! I want you to be able to make phone calls on your cell phone! I would recommend what others have stated on here as well. Remove the sim card for a good 30 seconds while the phone is off. Then try to make the phone call again. Have you ever replaced the sim card on your device before? You can always get a new sim card for free at a corporate store location: http://bit.ly/3SdsA Please keep us posted.

Can't make or receive calls on sprint after iOS 6 upgrade

I upgraded my 4s to iOS 6. Everything went smoothly till I tried to make a call. Now I can't make or receive calls. Everything else seems to work fine. I can even get my voicemail. My phone is through sprint. Has anyone else had this issue? Anyone know what to do about it?

Same problem and I just called Sprint to get it fixed.
They had me go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
After that they gave me a number to call (##numbers##) that i dont remember and isn't in my phone but after that a message popped up saying cellular reset failed but my phone started working again anyway.
I would maybe try reseting the network settings and if that doesnt work then call sprint and they can fix ya up pretty quick.
good luck

TS3367 I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

Here som other steps you can try;
Make sure that you have an internet connection
Make sure that you have a valid Apple ID (check here: myinfo.apple.com). Note that your Apple ID to register FaceTime on iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac must be an email address. You can create a new Apple ID or make changes by visiting myinfo.apple.com and using the “Manage your Account” part.
Tap Settings > FaceTime to see that your email address is verified. If your status is saying “verifying,”; then try toggling FaceTime off and on (Settings > FaceTime OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Try turning FaceTime off and on again using the following (iOS: Settings > Phone OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Make sure that FaceTime is enabled (Settings > FaceTime.)
Make sure that the camera for FaceTime is not restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions.)
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time to check date and time are set correctly.
Make sure that you are using the correct method for calling the person. iPhone user: Use the phone number; iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac user: Use the email address

Sorry for my english i'm spanish

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

Can't make a phone call

I keep getting an error that I can't make any phone calls on Samsung S5. I just missed an important call, and I can't call them back. Now they're closed. I'm furious. I have internet and text is slow but going through. I can't even call to get help on this issue. I saw a response to pm @ATTMobilityCares. How do I do this? How do I get help if I can't call? My truck is at the mechanic, and that's the call I just missed, so I don't even have transportation. Ughhhh!
