I can receive calls but when I try to make a call out of contacts, it says your iphone and Mac must be on the same wi-fi network.

Can't receive phone calls or texts

Hi everyone. I'm using an iPhone 4S and just opened verizon yesterday. However, I'm not able to receive phone calls or texts, but I'm able to call and text other people and access the web. I already reseted my network settings, triple checked that i'm not forwarding my calls anywhere, and my blocklist is empty. I also put the airplane mode on and off as some threads suggested but it didn't resolve it. It also can't be about bad signal because I live downtown in one of the biggest cities in this country and my signal is flawless.
All help is appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

To anyone facing the identical problem, the solution for me was that my previous operator (I transferred my number from T-mobile) had not fully given up their part on the deal. So I went to verizon store, they called T-mobile and got it sorted out. The situation was that any incoming call/text went to my sim-card which was still under t-mobile, and all outgoing calls/texts that i was making came through my verizon phone which was registered for this number. So, maybe this will solve it for you too if you have this problem.

Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

I can't make a phone call from my iPad. But, I can receive phone calls. What am I doing wrong?i can reci

I am able to receive phone calls on my iPad air 2. But, I can not make any phone calls. I am using an iPhone 6. I have set up both as required. What am I overlooking?

Hi Bo S.,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot make an outgoing call using your iPad. Included below are the instructions for using Continuity to make calls from your iPad. If you are set up correctly and still are unable to make a call after following the information in the article, please let me know at what point in the process the failure happens and what happens at that point.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
Cheers,

Since updating to 7.0 on my iPhone 5S I am not receiving phone calls, but can receive text messages.

Since updating my iPhone 5S to 7.0 I can't receive phone calls, but can receive texts. Why?

double check settings - do not disturb - off

I have a data connection but I can't make or receive phone calls or texts

I have a 3G data connection on my iPhone 5 at home, but I can't make or receive phone calls or messages.. I can surf the Internet though. I talked to a sprint representative and we went over everything and couldn't figure it out. Can some one plz help with this issue???

Phone and messages is a carrier issue. Sprint needs to check your account to make sure it is set up correctly. If everything looks good on their end, then do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try it.

I can't receive phone call, but I can make phone call. Why???

iMac 2013 Late Fusion drive 1T
I can't understand.
Hand off working well.
iMessege working well.
I can make phone call very well with iMac to iPhone, Android phone, house phone, etc.
But only receiving phone calls doesn't work!
Even, my macbook pro 2010 mid receiving phone calls very well...
Only receiving phone call doesn't work...

I tried everything after reading all nice comment.
But it doesn't work. I tried pram and smc reset, too.
I tried reinstall Yosemite. But it doesn't work.
Is it hardware's problem? Do I send my mac to AS center?
I tried wifi and Lan connection both, separate. Not working.
I tried Privacy/Security, firewall setting. Not working.
iOS 8.1 doesn't helpful.
In my conclusion, it is something like bug etc. or my iMac's hardware problem.
My MBP 2010 works so great! It wasn't difficult. After Yosemite, Just it works. (No hand off)
How can I contact Yosemite's programmer? I think there is some problem.
My iMac warranty is near 1 week left. What do I have to do?

I have an iPhone 5c that was purchased 10 months ago,, suddenly i can no longer make or receive phone calls, send text messages and the time is always wrong

I have an iPhone 5s that no longer makes nor receives phone call, the time will never stay corrected. Anyone with any thoughts?

samjohns146,
Making sure you can use your phone when you need it is certainly a concern of every consumer. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your phone but you have reached the right place for assistance. Has your phone completed any recent software updates at all? Let's try resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1ovdCBD to see if that resolves the issue. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

Samsung S5 Issue (Can't Receive Phone Calls)

Hi everyone! I'm a bit new here but I just recently been having issues with my phone. After the recent update (the one that changed something from OC4 to OF2), my phone cant accept phone calls nor have the ability to make a phone call. My phone can still text (send and recieve) and connect to the internet (wifi & data). Since it was centered on calling issues, I wanted to check my call settings (specifically, I went to: Applications->Call->More Settings) but a popup appeared and displayed the following text: "Network or SIM card error". So far, I have tried a phone reset, checking my SIM card to ensure it's properly seated, and turning my phone off and on and to no avail. I don't know what else to do at this point. A friend of mine recommended me to visit a AT&T DSC but I wanted to consult here first and see if there's anything else I can do. Any help would be awesome. Thanks! *On a side-note, my friends and family have all tried calling my phone and they get a voice message stating that the phone isn't available or is disconnected. Hope that information helps somehow! Phone Information:Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-G900AAndroid Version: 5.0Network: AT&TService State: Voice (In Service)/Data&colon; (In Service)Device Status: OfficialBaseband Version: G900AUCU4BOF2

I do not think is a Samsung Issue, but an AT&T issue. I have an iphone 6 plus and I am having the smae problem. I cannot receive phone call suddently, but is lasting for over a day now. They are not offering any solution. They told me they had received a lot of tickets with the same issue all over different States, but no news of a solution. It seems the company is becoming way too big, maybe they cannot handle the volume. I do not know what it is, but it is anoying and I do not like it. I know it is not my iphone.

My phone isn't connecting to 3G and I can't send or receive phone calls or texts.

So my phone just stopped being able to connect to 3G and stopped being able to send and receive phone calls and texts. It was working fine this morning and it shows that I have multiple bars "dots" but my 3G is reading 1x and says I can't make a connection. What should I do?

If you have looked where James suggested and you are saying that the phone number does not appear in there at all, you can add the phone number to the iPad but you may need to sign out of Messages on the iPad AND the iPhone.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore. I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
