Calling through Contacts not working on iPhone 4s

I am a brand new Verizon customer, although I have had an iPhone 2G and an iPhone 4 with ATT.
The good news is that I can finally get cell phone service in my Manhattan apartment. The bad news (apart from the fact that I am being forced to pay for way too many more minutes than I could possibly want) is that the new phone is giving me lots of trouble making call through the contacts app.
When I try to call someone using the contacts app, I get a message saying that I am not signed up for long distance or international calling. This happens with regular old domestic phone numbers. If I manually type in the number to call, it works fine. I never had this problem with my ATT iPhones. What gives?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hello balkan,
If you have not resolved the opportunity you were having with the contacts not listed in your sms conversations I have a suggestion. From your device navigate to Settings>Phone>International Assist and if it is on please turn it off. Once you make sure that feature is off return to the home screen and double tap the home button to clear the application manager then power cycle the device. Test a message and if unsuccessful dial *228 send and choose option 1 and let the phone re-program again. When that is complete the device should populate the contact name. You can also find assistance here Please let me know your results. Thank you.

Call log does not work. Iphone 4

Hi, I'm an Iphone 4 user, software currently on IOS 6.1.3, updated a couple of weeks ago.
Everything's fine and all, though one major problem that's been persisting - the call history is not working. Whenever an oncalling call (regardless if it's someone in my contact list or not) comes, the call log does not record the number and the entire log remains blank. I've tried resetting the settings as well as 'hard reset', but neither of these two have worked.
It's become absolutely frustrating, especially when I sold items off at Trademe and can't even track the phone numbers of anyone that gives a call saying they want to buy something (for the moment, I've currently got all pages saying that anyone interested should text my number, but as always, someone ignores that and just calls anyway). Not to mention it makes it a particularly big headache for work purposes as well and it obviously can't go on like this forever.
It'd be really appreciated if anyone can come up with a solution that can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

..I just upgrade my E52 from 034.001 to 052.003 and noticed that 'call log' function does not work anymore. The symptom is that nothing happens when pressing:
- "green" call button,
- Log option from the main menu,
- missed calls from the desktop.
I had to switch the phone to active Standby Mode which I never used before - this is the only way to see missed calls - the small "pop up" on the desktop.
Any suggestions how to fix it? Is it a known issue?...
I don't know how widespread your experience is but it is not universal as all the functions you describe work correctly for me with an E52 and 052.003 firmware.
Even if the upgrade reverted the log settings for Log Duration to "None" the "Green" key and the Log menu icon should bring the log up but with it empty, of course.

My caller id is not working on iphone 5 - it beeps but doesn't show who is calling or let me click over

I have recently had my iphone 5 not show who is calling on call waiting. The phone beeps but doesn't show the number / per son that is calling, won't let me click over and won't show who it was in my call history. Help very annoying.

1st go into your settings then tap phone to see if call waiting is turned on or off. If call waiting isOFF turn it ON. You can use also Apple article HT 4515. I would contact my wireless carrier reguarding the caller id not showing up and also with help reguarding your call waiting as well
Hope this helps

I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

Hi Ersin,
Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform. However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module. I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?
Regards,
Nick

oh, sorry. I'm pretty sure there is not anything out yet like that.
There are other apps like that you will just have to use them for each job you are doing.
Another one is called Text Editor, Write Pad, etc...

My call reject can't work in iPhone 5

Hi,
My call reject can't work in iPhone 5..!! I can't even c the icon( to swap up) when incoming call.

I am/was having the exact same problem. I would be in a call and my phone would "beep" like there was an incoming call but no option to ignore or swap nor does it display who is calling. I would continue to hear the "beep" until the caller either hung up or went to voice mail.
The secondary problem was this.... if they didn't leave a VM, my phone does not even show a missed call therefore I have no way of knowing who it was that was calling.
So I turned my phone off and back on. Now I have the options to ignore or swap the call. However, now what happens is if I am in a call and I hit the ignore button, I continue to hear the "beep" like the call is incoming and the caller does not get sent to my voice mail!!!!!!
Very frustrating. This all just started happening for me 2 days ago.
Oh and p.s. I still haven't upgraded to iOS 7.

Loudspeaker and call button is not working in my n...

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

Hand off not working on iPhone 5

hand off not working between iPhone and iPad Air.
Any suggestion. both using same iCloud ID's
thanks

Hi there SZkiyani,
You may need to verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the devices as well. Take a look at the aritlce below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Use Handoff with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts. You can also use Handoff with some third-party apps. Start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
To use Handoff:
On both devices, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and sign in to the same iCloud account.
Use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

Microphone not working on iphone

Microphone only works when on speaker phone.

Hi,
I had the same issue here. bottom microphone not working on my iPhone4. tested an dtried some different apps and came up with the following:
during voice call: bottom mic not working
during facetime: YES other side can hear me
memorecorder: YES sound is recorded
video: YES sound is recorded
I've searched around the web and the apple support pages, and found some simple options to be taken to resolve the issue:
1 clean out the 2nd (noise cancellation) microphone (which is the little pinhole right beside the earphone jack)
2 restart the device (eliminating virtually all software / app malfunctions)
3 reset network settings in settings menu (eliminating network issues)
4 full factory reset on iPhone4 (make sure to back it up properly before) (why should this be the resolution if the restart didn't do it before?).
5 open up the backside and insert a little piece of cardboard (about 160gr/m2) as per the attached video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhWxYTVxe4&feature=related
6 go to the apple store / make an appointment with the genius bar
neither 1, 2 nor 3 resolved my issue with the bottom mic during voice calls (I still could hear the other side, they could here nothing, or some static and crackling from my side). as gathered the 4th possiblity would not to make the difference (i got convinced this was more a hardware than software issue), i jumped to option 5.
AND IT WORKS NOW!!! yippieeeee (what would an iPHONE be if you can't call....)
all you need is a steady hand, good eyes and a ph00 or ph000 screwdriver.

I don't know what they call it, but my plantronics voyager pro, and my wifes plantronics voyager pro+ will not let you hear music through the headset. My Blueant T1 does support it and plays the music through the deadset.
