Frozen screen on one contact - cannot exit, or make calls

I'm using Iphone 3G. I can use all aspects of the phone except it freezes on phone. It has frozen on one of my contacts so I don't have access to keypad to make calls. The only way I can make a call is to make a new contact and phone that way.
To access my messages I have to use a different telephone and call my number.

Have you tried restoring it in iTunes?

Genius bar of little help...iphone: "cannot receive or make calls..."

went to the genius bar today because my iphone is apparently dead, and at&t won't touch it in terms of service.
get there and the guy says i have to make an appointment for tomorrow. and asks me for a number where i can be reached. again explain that the number at which i can be reached "cannot receive or make calls..."
anyone know how i can get this fixed now? and not have to pay for cell service that i can't even use?

Apple handles all iPhone repairs or exchanges under warranty. You can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466 to handle everything over the phone, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
If you can't make a call with your iPhone, it isn't a good idea to call technical support from the iPhone you are having a problem with anyway, and the same with a technical support problem with any cell phone since troubleshooting steps may involve doing something with the device that prevents being able to remain on the phone.
I don't have a landline at home so when I've needed to call technical support for any cell phone I've used in the past, I make the call from work, or from the landline of a family member, friend, neighbor, or pay phone.
Are you able to access the internet via the cellular network and receive or send SMS?
If so, this may be due to a problem with your SIM card. If there is an AT&T corporate store nearby, you can tell the store about the problem and request a new SIM card to see if this resolves it. The AT&T store can activate your iPhone with the new SIM card.

I cannot receive or make calls any suggestion of what to do?

I cannot receive or make calls any suggestion of what to do?

i am having the same problem with this new 4s. what did u do?

I have 2 different email addresses for Facetime. I now cannot receive or make calls on one of the emails. I deleted, then readied the nonworking address, but I get a message that says "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID." Help!

When I open Facetime, I see a blank screen now- no contacts or numbers. How do I add this email address to my account? Thank you.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

Cannot receive or make call and receive or send text messages in areas where there is a high wifi signal.

Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

Cannot receive or make calls AT ALL!!! Iphone 4s

This is my 2nd iPhone. I had the 1st replaced due to calls freezing on the dialing screen, but dial no tone to be heard.
Despite this, the reciever would still get the call, just no signification on my end that it had been calling let alone picked up.
This has now happend again, except now my texts will no longer tell me they have sent, yet are still received on the other end.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I have my iphone 4s since November, to which has been replaced already in that time.
I am on o2, in the UK. Any advice would be grand.
Liam.

When I received the replacement, I set as new iPhone.
I have tried restoring, resetting and restarting and had no luck.
I haven't contacted the carrier, which will be my next step.
I upgraded in Nov 11, and got the replacement in Dec 11. Both of which are having the same issue. I inserted a friend's sim into my phone and had the same issue, also put my new sim into my old 3gs and had the same problem. Which is frustrating as I resorted to this through the time I was wating for a replacement and it worked fine.
what all of the devices have in common is that they are all running on IOS 5, coincidence? considering the amount of bugs that have been reported?

HT1766 my iphone 5 has not shown contacts name when i make call or an incoming calls many of them shown in phone book,thy are saved.can somone help??

hi i was user of iphone4 since 3 years thats awsome experience but i bought iphone 5 <used> all well but for first time i have noticed that my fone didnt show contacts name even those are feed in my fone they perfectly show in phone book all of them are local numbers i tried many thing even i upgrade my iphone to ios7 but the problem is still there,i drop my fone in home and start to use my nolder iphone 4,could some one help that issue???

Did you get this fixed? I went from 4s to 5s and now iPhone 6. I kept my original Kia 30 pin connector cable and bought a 30 pin to lightning adaptor (the one-inch square thingie). Unfortunately it would not connect with my iphone 5s case getting in the way of the connector site, but I was able to shave off the extra plastic and make it work. Because the original Kia cable connects to both the audio and the USB, the adaptor works great. Don't use the non-Kia USB-lightning cable, it is missing the audio connector that the Kia original cable has; I'm wondering if that is the issue for you. I am able to get my phone calls as well as my music through the car. By the way, I never use the Kia dashboard controls; they're horrible.

Cannot receive or make calls

Cannot make or receive calls when near my wi-Fi since loading iOS 7. Can when away from it. HELP!

What did your carrier has to say about this?

"FaceTime failed" cannot receive or make calls

I'm on a 2010 MacBook pro and whenever I try to make facetime calls, it immediately says "FaceTime failed" without ringing or anything for all of my contacts. When I receive a call, it rings but it has the same message when I try to accept the call. I've tried everything on the support page and have even changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I also tested it out while tethered to my iphone's LTE and it had the same problem, which rules out network problems.

Hi,
There are many threads here that report people have taken their Mac to an Apple Store and have had the Serial Number "replaced".
However in those cases the Mother or Logic Board had been replaced in a Repair or Refurbishment.
To Reinstall an earlier version of the OS by using the DVD Install disks you would have to Insert them then Boot the Mac from that Disk.
Then you would have to open Disk Utility from the Menu bar and Erase the current OS and other contents before you could run the actual Install.
This does lose everything on that Drive so it is best to create a Back up First.
I am not sure what else to suggest.

Iphone 5 Contacts send emails not make calls

I have an iPhone 5 and for some reason, when i open my contacts to make a voice call, i select the contact i want and instead of making a voice call it opens up my emails and creates a new mail. I am now unable to select a contact to make a vioce call. Also, when sending a text message, the person recieving the text message recieves it from my email address not from my mobile number. Any help would be much appreciated as not being able to make voice calls from my phone kind of makes it pointless!
Many thanks

I also have the same problem but on a 3GS phone.

I broke my iPhone 4s screen and display. Siri worked to make calls but now says "Siri not available, connect to the internet". How do I make Siri work again till I get my new phone?

If not connected to the Internet, either through WiFi or 3G, you can't.

Splash screen says "System extension cannot be used The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/PulseDriver.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. How to fix?

Please help!
After installing iTunes 11.0.1 I got a splash screen that appears after all updates. The screen reads:
System extension cannot be used
"The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/PulseDriver.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
Question: How do I re-install or replace this file?

I submitted the above question, later finding that it has been answered by Buller already. No one need reply as Buller's answer seems to solve the problem for others, and I'll try that.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Cannot Video Call with one Contact Anymore

I am having this problem where my friend and I, who could video call last week, cannot anymore. The sound works but we cannot communicate via video. All video settings are good, and I can see my camera in the lower right but neither of us receives the video. I have the latest version of skype, that I downloaded the update for today, for Windows and my friend has the latest version for Mac (just redownloaded it to be sure). Even so, we cannot skype using video anymore. To be clear, I can still skype with other contacts. I tested it to be sure, and I can see them and they can see me. It's just this one contact now.
What could be the problem or solution?

Obviously this is stumping people. I don't know if this matters, but I forgot one detail. I'm in the USA and my contact is in the UK.
