Can Make Voice/Sms calls, but cannot recieve any Voice or SMS on Iphone 4

My wife and I recieved our new IPhone 4's last wednesday. We are both new to at&t and Iphones. Had our numbers ported over from verizon. Since then when we are at home our phones seem to make outgoing calls and send txt msg's just fine. But both are only sporadically recieving calls and txt msg's. We are showing 5 bars on the E network, also have wifi hooked up to them from our router. I've tried full restores, reset network connection, had tech support re-register both phones, and power cycle them many times. It seems briefly after after resetting all network settings the missing txt will all flood in for a moment then it's back to just every now and then receiving them. I've also tried turning everything off in my house that cause interference which didn't help either.
Has any else had similar issues? And no this is not even holding on to the phone when this happens.

    If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.

    I have a 4S and upgraded to iOS 6 last week without any issues.
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold the power and home buttons down together until the silver apple appears)?

  • Am connected to orange fr, i can d/load emails etc but cannot open any webpages, Ipod Touch 5th version, latest IOS installed. Any advise please.  First time I have experienced this as my Ipod works immediately elsewhere

    I am connected to Orange fr, I can download emails etc but cannot open any webpages.  Ipod Touch 5th vers, latest IOS installed, any advice would be most welcome.  This is the first time I have had this problem as my Ipod works immediately everywhere else.  My laptop does not show this problem using the same orange provider, so its obviously some setting in the Ipod :-(

    Try this:
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
    2. Hold the Safari app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

  • HELP! Can make outgoing VoIP calls but no incoming

    I am hoping someone can help me out here!  I am trying to get a Cisco Small Business unified communication device to connect through my DSL service.  I am using a SIP trunk registration through ViaTalk and can register on their server and make outgoing calls without issue.  I have yet to be able to receive incoming calls.  I spent 6+ hours on the phone with Cisco tech support and they tell me it is my router blocking the incoming traffic.  I set my modem/router up with a DMZ, have tried to forward all port, disabled SIP ALG and still nothing.  When I called ViaTalk to see if they noticed incoming calls on their SIP server they said that everything looked good except that the port that is used for the communication seems to be altered.  Does anyone know if this is something that Verizon may/may not be doing?  Outgoing calls are handled on port 5060, but the ViaTalk tech support said that the request was coming through on the incoming side on port 56739.  I am using a Netgear DGND3300 because the Westell 7500 is better used as a paper weight.

    Thanks for the catch dslr ... I spend so much time over in the FiOS section, I totally missed this was in the DSL section.
    So, with that said, has the OP had any luck getting the log files for us to look at?   We should be seeing traffic coming from ViaTalk when incoming calls come in and that's what we need to see.
    Also, not clear if you have the Verizon gear still in the loop here or are justing usng the Netgear.  If the Verizon modem is in the picture, is it operating in bridge mode (not router mode)?

  • After upgrading to the new iOS7, I can't send out sms, I can receive sms, can make and receive call. I have already contacted my network provider, we changed sim card, I have tried to put my sim on other phone, and it's perfectly working. Help me pls

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • Can receive Facetime calls but cannot initiate Facetime calls

    Hi,
    As above, I am having trouble initiating Facetime calls even though I can receive them. I am using the latest software (4.2.1), have restored the phone and reactivated the iPhone and have reset all settings (General < Reset < Reset all settings). I have forwarded the ports specified by Apple for Facetime in my router and have UPnP enabled.
    I should say that occasionally I can make a Facetime call successfully, but usually it rings indefinitely, or gets to the 'connecting' screen and then hangs indefinitely or disconnects after a while.
    I only use Facetime to call my g/f and she has done the same steps to troubleshoot as me on the iPhone with the latest software/resets etc. (but I don't know anything about her router).
    Is it possible I cannot make calls to her because of a problem on her side (even though she can make calls to me), or is it likely to be an issue with my connection?
    Thanks,
    Brophs

    If your facetime does not work and you don't see the facetime button when you try to initiate a call try texting yourself. Sometimes your phone company has deactivated your text messaging when you hook up your new Iphone 4. Phone them and get it reactivated and it will work. You need three things to activate facetime. 1. Cell phone service (naturally) 2. connection to a router (wifi) and 3. text messaging that works. A text message is sent to complete the connection.
    Have a great day and enjoy facetime.

  • I have one contact that I can call but cannot text. A return text states it is an invalid number. How can I fix it?

    I have one contact that I can call but cannot text. A return text states it is an invalid number. I have erased and re-entered the contact, changed phone identification and tried resetting the network - none have worked. What else can I try?

    What kind of phone is this person using? If this is an iPhone, are you logged into iMessage. If this is not an iMessage, then I suggest you both contact AT&T. SMS which is what is used between non-iPhone devices or between an iPhone and non-iPhone device are a carrier function. There is no setting in iOS or on the iPhone that deals with SMS. If you are able to send iMessage and/or SMS to other people, then AT&T needs to either look into your account to ensure SMS is configured, or they need to look at this other person's phone to see what it is reporting as its number since it is coming back invalid for you.

  • I can receive face time calls but not make them

    Why can I receive face time calls but cannot make one to a contact?

    Have you tried looking in settings, general, restrictions and see if the app got restricted? When it's restricted the icon vanishes.

    Hello there, RobenCaatje.
    The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Specifically:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

        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.
