Thanks this was very useful.. I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am having the same problem constant network fluctuations, no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/ba

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.

Repeated 'Call Failed' despite 2 iPhones and 3 sims

I've had my iPhone for about 48 hours now and am in need of any and all suggestions about what to do with disconnects.
As a preface, I previously used a Palm Treo 680 for the past year (6 months in the current town). After losing that phone, I went with the iPhone as a replacement. The night of the purchase, and before installing any apps, I experienced the 3 beeps and 'call failed' message when talking to two friends - one on an iPhone; the other on Verizon. I had talked to both before without problems on the Treo. I had another call fail the following day and took the iPhone to a nearby ATT store for a SIM change. That night, I thought all was well but, about 10 minutes into a call with the friend with the iPhone, I got another 'call failed'. Today, I went to the Apple store and was quickly given a new iPhone at the Genius bar. Thought all was well again as a call on the way home went well. Was just speaking again with the friend in Florida on an iPhone and the call failed after about 12 minutes. I have the latest firmware and made sure that 'send caller id' was enabled.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks,
E

Thanks everyone
Since then, I have used the iPhone in a more 'real world' way. I found that I really don't 'need' 3G very much at all. I have left the phone on Edge and used WiFi at home, in the office and, today, at the YMCA. Who knew wifi had grown to be so ubiquitous? Anyway, I'll keep testing out the phone capabilities and use 3G as needed on weekends. At least I can't complain about battery life now
If this keeps up, I will contact ATT about the network. I realize now that my Treo was never on the 3G network as I had not enabled a data plan....

Iphone 5 from Dubai not working in INDIA. Call failed

I bought 3 Iphone5 from Dubai out of it 2 are working on Vodafone India(Call & 3G data) but the Third iphone 5(3G Data only) on vodafone.
i have managed to cut sim into NANO sim they are working on other two Iphone5 but not on last one.

Any Solution ???

This one(md655) has verizon usa card from which i can call but when i put Vodafone india only data.
There is the problem. The iPhones originated in the US and there are NO unlocked iPhones for sale in the US.
In the future, it's best to only purchase iPhones directly from Apple or an authorized reseller.
You may simply be out of luck. You can try contacting Verizon and see if they will unlock the device for you, there is no guarantee.
If the other two are locked to AT&T, you are completely out of luck.

Supplementary Service error: general error/ Call failed

Hi, guys please help, am very frustrated as I am not able to make or receive any calls or sms's. Everytime I try, i receive an immediate message saying " supplementary service error. or "call failed". When everybody else calls me it goes straight to voicemail.
I tried the battery pull, I did the security wipe, I called the service provider, nothing seems to work. has any of you ever experienced this? what did you do? please advice.
Under "manage connections" on the main menu, i checked the "service status" and it says not connected under "mobile voice". Other applications work very well, such as facebook, whatsapp, bbm and google talk.

Hi Makhasane
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
There are no specific workaround regarding this error but From what I have noticed in most cases this " supplementary Service error " is resolved after replacing a new SIM , So I prefer you should try that option Or if your device is still under warranty contact your service provider.

Repeated "Call Failed" and unable to send or receive Texts or VMs

Please Help Me:
I have a beloved iPhone 3G and it has been no problem for the year and a half that I have owned it. Until last week...
All of a sudden I am periodically getting repeated "Call Failed" screens when I attempt to make an outgoing call. Not once or twice but for hours at a time, I cannot call out or receive calls-in, nor can I send or receive text messages.
Sometimes it will click-back-in (whatever that means) and I will suddenly get three voice messages and texts from my wife saying, "Where are you and why is your phone going straight to VM???"
What did I do to troubleshoot?
1. When I power off and power back on my phone it sometimes starts to work again.
2. If I do a Home Button plus Power Off it works, until it "clicks off" again.
3. I called AT&T support, they checked for network outages and there are none.
4. I took the sim card out and blew-in it (a la Nintendo-HA!)
5. I updated it. I hadn’t updated it since March. This took a while, because I kept getting an error (2003) message. But eventually, I completely UPDATED IT and RESTORED THE PHONE. I now have 4.0.2 on my iPhone and iTunes 9.2.1.
6. It looked like the update/restore worked but then it started happening again.
7. The problem is not local, i.e. it happens to me not in just one area but on the road, at home, at my office, out of my home area, etc.
I’d prefer to only have to buy a new cell phone every two or two and a half years, rather than on an annual basis. I do not have an extended warranty or AppleCare.
Does anyone know of any other hard-fix for this.
I’m willing to take a gamble, because I know the next step is to go to AT&T and they’re just going to tell me I need a new phone (likely the same for an Apple Store as well).
The rest of the phone is working fine. Even when getting Call Failed, I still can use the Internet and other applications.
My phone connects properly to my PC (Windows XP) and my bars and network connection appear to be accurate, meaning that I’m not getting zero bars when the Call Failed screen appears.
Any help, insight, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Alright, it's fixed:
Switching Airplane Mode and/or "Show My Caller ID" OFF and ON or vice versa did work momentarily, particularly the Airplane Mode.
HOWEVER, I read someone's post on another website about disabling 3G!
Just recently my area received 3G (I know Pennsyltucky). So maybe the turnover had some effect on my phone. (AT&T did not admit to that when I called but...)
Anyways, go to Settings > General > Network > switch "Enable 3G" to OFF
It has worked for 24 hours, so keeping my fingers crossed.
Please note that this may only be a fix for the older 3G iPhones (I bought mine new right when the 3GS was released). Plus, our area just received 3G networking.
Hope this helps someone else.

When calling or receiving calls, after a minute or so, is the call, give notice "call failed, THEN RUNS OUT OF SERVICE, then activated" SEARCHING "and then restoring the coverage. THIS FOR THE 100% of calls

You may have a bad sim, contact your phone carrier and see if you can get a new one.

4/5 calls failing on iPhone 5

I am located in area code 48071 using an iPhone 5. About 4 out of 5 outgoing calls fail to connect. I am also not receiving some incoming calls, with voicemails arriving without a missed call.
I have tried resetting the network settings, powering off the device, and removing/inserting the sim card. It has had no effect.

Hello Gvlaker09
I'm sorry to hear your having issues. I'm not seeing any reported issues in the area. Does service improve outdoors? When did this start? Do other Verizon devices have the same results?

New type of call failed!

guys ,i'm new to this forum ...and i checked around to see if there was a thread to this kind of problem.
first off, its not the usual 3GS problem where the first time it says 'failed' and the second time it 'connects' the call.
mine is an iphone 3G 8gig ios 4.1[jailbroke and unlocked], it says 'call failed' and i can try try and try but it wont connect no matter what i do .
yes, i did try the clock-toggle-thingy and also the toggle-callwaiting-thingy.
i am in an are where the reception is excellent. the sim worked fine on any other handset.
p.s: i had this problem on ios 4.0 too. didnt have it on ios 4.1 till now. and its back again!

It's not that no one here doesn't want to help you, the terms of use of this forum do not permit us to help you. Use Google...type jailbroken iphone won't work...that's about all we can suggest.
ITS NOT MY FAULT
Of course its your fault, you're the one that hacked the phone.

My iphone 4 says call failed and message failed?

It was locked to orange but just had it unlocked to work on my T-mobile sim. Had this issue even before I got it unlocked. I have just bought this off of somebody and it keeps saying call failed/call ended just after I have dialled and then when I try to send a message it says message failed, however, I can get onto the internet using my signal alone and not connecting to Wi-fi. Incredibly confused as to why this isnt working. I have full signal. Done a full restore on 2 different computers still with no result. Really at the end of my tether with this, someone please help.
Operating system 4.3.5
Thanks

I faced similar issue where I was getting signal, able to receive calls, use all data services but everytime i went to make a call it said "Call Failed"
You need to try to go to Settings>>Phone>>>Show My Caller ID>> Ensure it is On.
Even if it appears on try switching off and on.
Mine was not allowing to switch off and on but something I did worked and then able to make calls.
Also try Settings>>>General>>>Reset>>Rest All Settings
I faced issue of not being able to make calls after switching my sim card from postpaid to prepaid. First it dint recognise the sim at all then on pluggin in to itunes i was able to activate and atleast receive calls, use all data only everytime i tried makinng a call it said call failed.
When i restored to factory settings it worked. However on restoring my backup i faced the same issue.
Apple local support was most unhelpful saying that i had to forget my data and work with a new phone without contacts, apps, etc

Why is that everytime i try to make a call. it shows call failed ?, why is that everytime i try to make a call. it shows call failed ?

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem with my Iphone 5 16 gb. Since morning i am trying a make an outgoing call. It fails repeatedly and results in CALL FAILED. Even i am not able to receive the calls.
If the call gets connected it automatically fails after some ten seconds. Please help me out quickly as i am searching for a job and if this is continuing i cant receive any calls from recruiters or employers.
I have tried resetting my phone using general settings and show my caller id option too
None of these helped.
I have even restored my phone to factory settings.
Please someone help me. Thanks in Advance

But wen i use the same sim in some other iphone it still works and the other guyz in my room havent faced this problem.
Thanks for your reply mate

Call failed - is this common?

Hi, Honest opinions needed!!
I have had my iphone 3gs for 7 days now - updated to the latest software, ever since i have had it i have been getting call failed which has slowly been getting more and more often over the week, i have googled the problem and done all the resets advised and swithching off the 3gs etc - think tried it all!!
Spoke to vodafone today (after 20 call fails and 3 dropped calls an hour and half later!!) carried out all there suggested reset etc again!! Anyway vodafone have decided i have a faulty phone!! They are sending me a replacement!
- My question is (finally lol) is this a common problem? I am very wary now of having another one! Vodafone have said if the next one does it as well i have 7 days to send back and get something completely different!!
Any advice on this would be appreciated - or if anyone can restore my faith in the 3gs i would be greatful!!

thanks for the info.
The 3g is def the issue I have narrowed it down! It def not the sim ruled that out now! As soon as I turn the 3gs off its fine - turn it on for about 20 mins it still works then after 'call failed'.
Question is now what - is apple aware of the problem are they working on it?
So I have a phone called a iphone 3gs and I cant use the 3gs!
Still unsure what to do I have 5 days to make up my mind in keeping it if apple are looking to resolve the issue then I will keep if not I think its going back!

Can't make a call from my I phone Always say call failed

Hello
i have a problem with my I phone that it new phone and i didn't use it until now but i have a problem with it that i can't make a call always say call failed , i changed the sim card but i still have the same problem .
so can you please help me

First try resetting your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

No service/searching/call fails

Have a 4s -was working fine. But now constantly searching for service or 1-2 dots and calls fail. Have done network reset. Wi-fi fine. Wifes phone has 3-4 dots of service in same location

On talking with tech in Ky he suggested cleaning my sim card with pencil eraser which made no difference. On further search on his part he noted that the issue was a tower which I was locked into. The tower was malfunctioning and when repaired my service returned to normal.

CANNOT CALL, CALL FAILED HELP

i hav an iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked 16 GB ..
i cannot place call as soon as i call it says Call ended then call failed
i have tried -
Enabling/Disabling 3g
Changing date and time settings
Show my caller id is ON
these methods sometimes solve my problem but aftr the springboard restarts
i get the problem again
i hav tried evrything
I AM HAVING FULL reception strength
wen i place the sim card into another phone it works :/
i am Running iOS 4.2.1
HELP

to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
first thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo
if that doesn't work I would restore from backup and if that doesn't work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..
