Am I supposed to be able to make calls while iphone is locked?

Hi, Everyone!!!
I locked (as in password-locked) my iphone and put a 4-digit password on it like you're supposed to. Well, anyway, when I press the home button it asks me for my 4 digit password. But I can just press the "emergency call" button on the bottom left and call ANY number I want...not just emergency numbers. I called my co-worker a moment ago. I googled this "issue" and saw where it does that for others as well. So, is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this? I know my email and stuff is still protected, but I would think that password-protecting my phone would be able to prevent people from making calls with my phone, which it apparently doesn't do.
thoughts?
Thanks, everyone!

\Troy,
The passcode lock is not intended to prevent people from making phone calls. It is made to protect your information. If you do not want people to be able to make calls from your phone unless authorized, you can set a SIM pin, and will need to enter that every time you turn the phone on.
You can find more information about SIM pins here:

Hope this helps,

TS4449 When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..

When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..
And some time it's worked...

OMG.....this very tiny hole located next to the headset jack........I suffered for the same issue around 20 days after purchasing my iPhone 4S. Even I visit the apple store too, they suggested to talk with apple online.....just before going to apple, i was reading "iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802) and at the very first line, i found "Make sure that nothing is blocking the top microphone (located next to the headset jack)." and this located next to the headset jack solved the problem completely for sound in vidio as well as sound with calling speaker phone.....Actually, I purchased a plastic cover (like screen protector type) that blocked this small hole (microphone hole i think) and the problem was because of this...I remember on the first day i talk with speacker phone (nothing on iPhone at that time) and it was working...
No need to restore or hard reset anything...i was fearing i'll lost everything if I hard reset my iPhone that took 5-10 to build my iPhone as I like apps, music, vidio on it....

Is this what you have? (see above?) That's what I get when I search for iPhone 4G J-5 in Google.
If so, this is NOT an iPhone! It is NOT made or sold by Apple. You have a cheap Chinese knockoff.

System problems? Neither my iPhone nor my wife's is able to make calls. Rebooted, restored, etc. Is Verizon experiencing problems?

Probably , it's a big country , if you tell your general location a user in that area might be able to confirm your problem an an outage

Not Able to Make Calls

I have 4 phones that have worked without issues. Recently I added FamilyBase to monitor and manage usage. Ever since I added FamilyBasase e I have not been able to make phone calls from my home area (rural). I am on an extended network due to the fact that I live in a rural area. The other 3 phones that are also on the FamilyBase are able to make calls and have no issues.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi there
Apple doesnt give this feauture and there are certain apps in app store under utilities which provide password facility under this app and u can store photos videos and orther stuff and lock so
Kids will be not able to access this single app ortherwise there is no such feature of locking apps feature given by apple

HT203032 Don't enable Wi-Fi calling on your Sprint iPhone or you won't be able to make calls as soon as you leave your Wi-Fi area.

I tried enabling Wi-Fi calling on my iPhone 6 on Sprint and as soon as I left my Wi-Fi area my phone wouldn't recive or make calls. I would just a error.
I called Sprint about this and informed them but, If this doesn't happen to you then just go to the Wi-Fi calling setting > Update Emergency Contact > Check Disable Wi-Fi calling. That should fix it!

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

People Cannot Hear Me When I make Calls on iPhone 4, Bought a new iPhone 4, uploaded all of my own information from the backup, and it still doesnt work, help!

I went in to apple, they couldnt figure it out, I am on AT&T so I was figuring on going into their store today and seeing if its something with the network, if not I am going back to apple, but this is literally a brand new phone i bought yesterday, not refurbished or anything, brand new, does anyone know why this isnt working? Everything else works fine, the mics both work, its just when I make calls or someone calls me the mic doesnt work.

When you see the same issue on more than one hardware device, it means that the problem is likely to exist outside of the hardware. Two things to investigate would be the software/firmware on the backup and issues with the cellular network. It's probably safe to rule out the cellular network as well.
First, make sure that you have imported copies of all the information (pictures, videos, documents) on the device. Do this thorough itunes, and the applications (photographic and document processing) on your computer. Perform a firmware update then restore the device as new. If the problem persists, then you may actually have the worst luck and discovered two devices with an identical issue.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!. Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

Using iPhone to make calls while in Japan

So I'm in Tokyo, I paid ATT for a roaming plan while I am here, and I can't seem to make calls at all. If I just dial my number back home, I get some Japanese woman talking to me (automatic voice) and I have no idea what she is saying. If I try international prefix codes, I get nothing. I'm dead in the water while my colleague happily makes calls on her blackberry to home.
What is the magic sauce to using iPhone overseas like this?

Did you get international provisioning ACTIVATED on your account BEFORE you left? If not, call AT&T, obviously from another phone:
1-800-331-0500
That's AT&T's international provisioning verification & troubleshooting number.
Since you're abroad, sorry, use this number:
+1-916-843-4685

Am I supposed to be able to make calls while iphone is locked?
