Cannot make or receive calls after IOS 6.1 update on IPhone 5

Text and Data services still work fine.  All other features of my phone seem unaffected.  I have tried rebooting and resetting my network setting with no luck.  Any other recommendations on how to restore the ability to use my phone as a phone? This is a strange side affect for a software update (iOS 6.1)

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Difficulty texting and and making calls after iOS 8.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi
    Since upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 a couple of months ago I have had cellular connectivity problems. But even when I have several bars of reception texts won't send / receive and phone calls fail. iMessage and wifi connection is unaffected. The problems occur 50% of the time. The rest of the time the phone works.
    I have checked with my carrier and they say there are no signal problems in my area, I have also replaced the SIM card but problems continue. My carrier says it may be a fault with the phone and to take it to an Apple store. However as I am disabled this is difficult. The phone is also out of warranty.
    Has any one else had similar issues and / or have any ideas how to fix it? Should I try a factory reset?

    Hi Saucelicious,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's cellular connectivity, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Bionic cannot make or receive calls after successful ICS update

    Can't find this anywhere else.  Have been using the phone for several days after successfully upgrading to ICS.  I can text and email.  All data services appear ok.  Just phone function.  When tryng to call, it attempts to dial out and then terminates.  Any help?

    Hi PKillian,
    I know how important it is to have a working phone. Let's get this issue resolved. Let's first begin by putting you phone in Safe Mode. Follow these steps http://bit.ly/mX5mec. After successfully putting your phone in Safe Mode, try making a call and receiving a call on your Bionic. If you do not experience the same issues while your phone is in Safe Mode, we would then need to proceed and complete a Master Reset. Make sure you back up your personal data before completing the reset. Here are the steps to complete the Master Reset http://bit.ly/nExWmP. Let us know how this works out for you.

  • My iphone 4 displays message that it cannot make or receive calls, I have restored it but after awhile the message comes back.....

    My iphone occasionally loses service and displays the message "iphone cannot make or receive calls", I have restored it twice and the phone will work for a while but reverts back to losing service and displaying the same message again.  Any help?

    It sounds like a hardware or AT&T issue. Contact AT&T.

  • No 3g\wifi - Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls.

    Just started getting this message on an IPAD:
    "Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Contact Apple at www.apple.com/service."
    3g and wifi is not working. The ipad has only been connected to itunes once when the device was set up so I'm worried about losing everything.
    I've looked online a bit and found a bunch of users with this issue on their iphone but couldn't find many ipad users with the issue. It sounds like the only way to make it work is to "restore" it or get a new one. "restore" means factory reset? Will I be able to back up everything first?
    I may try upgrading the device to ios 4 first.
    Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

    Strangely it started working on it's own after a few days. Then I connected it to itunes, created a backup, and upgraded to 3.22. Of course it quit working on vacation then started working again when I was on my way home. I guess I better bring my laptop next time in case it acts up again. Too bad ipad and iphones are tied down and require a PC.

  • Cannot make or receive calls on specific locations

    Hi there,
    I had the iphone4 with iOS 5.0.1 and recently bought the 4S. After 10-15 days of use I am experiencing an antenna problem in specific locations (e.g. @home). When i arrive at home the iPhone 4S cannot make or receive calls with minor exceptions when suddenly a few SMS's (reporting incoming calls) received declaring that someone was trying to reach me.
    I have never experienced such problems with the iPhone 4 under the same conditions (location, iOS5, etc.) and therefore I am suspecting that somehow the new antenna is being blocked (confused) perhaps of this new intelligent switching system.
    When I leave home (a few hundred meters distance) the 4S become operational again!
    Can anyone be of any help with this?
    K.R.

  • Error message Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes

    I received this error message - "Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes" 
    Has anyone received this before & know what the issue is?

    If you are restoring from a backup, that's your problem. The backup is corrupt. After you restore, you need to select "Set up as new." You will need to reinstall everything again.

  • "Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls"

    so i walked back over to my table and saw it looked like i had a text that just came it and it was this message that said "Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls". no service, restarted the phone and its all good now.
    fluke or do i need to be calling apple?
    going to an apple store isnt exactly easy for me now (nearest one is an hour away, after aug 11 ill be really close to one though)
    the threads i found via search on this were either no answers or just "restore it and if it happens again call apple".
    i do have a habit of getting dud phones every time i get a cell phone (first razr needed to be replaced right out of the box, first gen iphone the home button wore out in 4 weeks so i was kind of hoping 3rd time would be the charm, not sure though)
    thanks

    This same thing happened to me last night. Same error and when I tried to restore I kept getting the 1604 error. I was working and it happened around 11:00pm. I setup an appointment with the 5th Ave. store in NYC for 2:10am. I get there and one guy tells me it will be covered under my warranty. The "genius" tells me something is caught in the headphone jack and that they can't get the spill detector in there to verify if it's spill damage and that I'm up the creek. So, $199 for a 1st gen 8GB or $199 for a new 8GB 3G. I'm really upset about this as I didn't have a working phone and that's not very conducive to my line of work and I'm told I yet again need to spend more money. There was nothing I could do and they wouldn't budge I ended up getting a new 16GB White 3G today, but I'm not happy with this outcome. The new phone is nice, but I really thought long and hard about sticking with my original iPhone till next year. I hope that you outcome is much brighter At least I didn't have to wait in line today. I walked right into the 14th St. store and they said they had 2 16GB's if I was interested in one and I took it.
    That's my story.

  • Blackberry Bold 9930- cannot make or receive calls

    Please Help!
      Woke up this morning and my phone icon was missing on my home screen.  It wouldn't be a huge deal, but I also discovered that I cannot make or receive calls.  I have had several people try to reach me and they all say it goes straight to voicemail.  Even if I try to dial a number and hit send, nothing happens.  I have searched all of my folders to see if it was hiding, have reset my theme, taken out the battery, blah, blah, blah.  The only thing I have working for me is that both e-mail and text messages are working fine.  Please, if anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear asap.

    Hello,
    I want to make sure you are both able to make calls as normal.  Did this occur after installing any new applications or adjusting any settings?  Is the device still showing adequate signal strength?  Based on the the device still receiving text messages the voice signal is still transmitting to the device.  I would like to take a closer look at your account settings.  Please send a Direct Message with your name and account information and I can investigate further.
    Thank You

  • E72 cannot make or receive call , sms

    I cannot make or receive call from my E72. Even cannot send or receive sms. When i dail any number a lock sign appears in front of number and nothing happens. When i restart my phone then its start working fine. I am extremely annoyed the basic functionality of cell phone is to make or recive call if  we cannot perform this task what is the use of buying such expensive E-series phone. I need resolution.
    My firm ware is 053.001
    Model E72-1

    I have uploaded a picture although quality is not good, i will provide a good quality picture later. If you see upper right corner above the green cradle there is an open lock.
    What i observe is when the cell or connection is working the lock appears open but when there is problem at cell or connection end it appears as closed.
    I told you earlier i used the same SIM with Nokia 3110c since 2008 till october 2010 it worked fine i never encountered problem of this sort.
    As per your advice i will check with service provider also.
    No the lock problem doesnot appear quickly after restart it take around 2 to 3 days.

  • How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    I went to the link. I selected iPHONE.  There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page.  I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7.  Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'.  And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry.  No iOS entries on an iphone page.  Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

  • Issue for the past 2 hours. Cannot make or receive calls in Little Falls, NJ. Is there a problem with the local tower?

    Issue for the past 2 hours. Cannot make or receive calls in Little Falls, NJ. Is there a problem with the local tower?

    You haven't enabled VoLTE (Advanced calling) have you?  Not that it makes a difference just curious. 
    Have you upgraded to Lollipop yet?
    Could be hardware or SIM card issue, read through this thread:
    I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.
