Cannot make calls...always says "call failed"

hello. the problem is that i cannot make calls, every time that i have to make a calls a little sounds comes and in the screen says "call failed".
what can i do?

The standard troubleshooting steps for the iPhone in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore.
How long have you been using your iPhone? Has it always been this way, or is this a recent occurrence?
Do you have EDGE access?
Are you able to send and receive SMS?
Another troubleshooting step to try is removing and re-inserting your SIM card to make sure it is seated properly. Be sure to power your iPhone off before doing so.
If none of the above makes any difference, I would contact at&t to see if they are having any network problems in your area - assuming you have a home telephone or access to another phone - which is a good idea to use anyway when calling at&t or AppleCare in case they want you to perform any troubleshooting while on the phone.
If at&t is not reporting any temporary network problems, the next step to take is calling AppleCare (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

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.

Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" I can't seem to send any messages either? I can use the Internet fine and everything else on the phone. Can anyone help?

Hi chelsinator,
You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
Cheers,

If you are not showing reception bars, then I don't know how the data is working? Have you tried doing a reset? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, check to see if it works. If that doesn't help, then try removing the SIM card, then reinserting it. If that doesn't help, then contact your carrier for assistance in calling.

HT4623 Having updated my phone with IOS7 I now cannot make or receive telephone calls. Why? Please advise

Can someone please tell me why I can't make or receive telephone calls since updating my iPhone with IOS7? My network provider has been unable to help and think it's an Apple problem...any advice welcome

I'm sorry, but we had made so many changes (the Advisor and I) and it was only after I shared y home screen with him that he had me disable my anti-virus firewall....and everything worked fine afterwards. We went through a number of steps including removing a number of neighbors wifi signals and most important was the changing of the wifi channels.If anyone is using an Anti-virus program, I would suggest that they disable the firewall and then see if their devices connect to the same wifi.

Connected Bluetooth cannot make or receive phone calls

Just recently my Jawbone ICON has not been able to work with my iPhone 4s. It is connected and synced properly and I can answer phone calls but the call is not routed thru the Bluetooth. The options for answering phone calls are only the phone or speaker. No Bluetooth option. I don't know what to do. I have tried restarting the phone, re syncing the Bluetooth, updated the Bluetooth and re synced it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot make or receive Skype calls

I can't make or receive calls using Skype. The IM still works, and actually indicates that I missed calls, but I get absolutely nothing on my end. When someone tries to call me, it rings like it should on their end apparently, it looks like to them I just don't pick up. I have absolutely no indication that anyone is calling me at all, and when I try to call out, it gives the little start-up beep at the beginning of the call, then nothing. The screen indicates it's trying to connect, but there is no ringing. I looked in the forums for similar problems and did as they suggested: Uninstalled and reinstalled Skype, deleted the dbTemp folder, installed the latest cameras and latest version of Skype (7.0), rebooted my internet connection (and it shows I have a strong connection every time!), restarted my computer, and nothing, NOT A THING works! I am getting really frustrated, as it seems like every time I call anyone from Skype there's always a problem. Until this point I have always been able to work it out on my own, but for ONCE I would simply like to sit down and make a call without ANY technical difficulties!
ANY help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try again to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Cannot make or receive phone calls

My iphone 3 works great on internet & texting. But phone does not make or receive calls. If I get a voicemail All I hear is "air"; same if I make a phone call.

Hi maxnh1,
make sure that you have no net-issues by testing your SIM-Card in another device. If it works fine, most probably your iPhone is the troublemaker, if the cars is not working in the other cell-phone ... well, you guess what .
