I can't hear my phone calls unless I put it on speaker. Tried cleaning by blowing on earpiece and headphone jack and pushing near front camera and earpiece speaker...no luck. HELP!

If you've tried everything mentioned you probably have a failed earpiece. One option is to get a BlueTooth headset and use it for all calls. It will be cheaper than the $199 out-of-warranty replacement price from Apple (if it's still in warranty or AppleCare it will be free). Good BT headsets can be had for around $40. And it will hold you over until the Next New Thing from Apple is available

  • I can't hear any phone calls

    I love the phone but I barely hear anyone speaking to me on the phone.  The volume is up to max, I have tried increasing the volume during a call.  I bought it from someone on ebay who doesn't want to know.  I need help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You update your operating system.. before that reboot and check it.. check software first before going for hardware

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
         1.  Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
         3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

    Take it in to an Apple store or authorized service center for evaluation and possible replacement.

    If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked.  Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

  • Can't make a phone call

    I keep getting an error that I can't make any phone calls on Samsung S5. I just missed an important call, and I can't call them back. Now they're closed. I'm furious. I have internet and text is slow but going through. I can't even call to get help on this issue. I saw a response to pm @ATTMobilityCares. How do I do this? How do I get help if I can't call? My truck is at the mechanic, and that's the call I just missed, so I don't even have transportation. Ughhhh!

  • Can i play my phone calls over my car speakers?

    For some reason after installing my bluetooth I can hear my game sounds over my car stereo speakers. I've always wanted to be able to hear my phone calls over my speakers. Does anyone know if I can do this and if so, how do you set it up? Thanks.

    Sure, if your car has the right features ...
    My (and a lot of other) car(s), have a bluetooth pairing capability that includes a microphone in the car (ceiling).
    So I can play music through the car speakers, and if a phone call comes in, the music will stop (iPhone feature) and once I answer the call (which I can do from pushbuttons on the steering wheel), I can talk (through the car's microphone) and hear (through the car's speakers).
    Check out if your car is set up for this.

    What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If the videos are in an iPhone compatible format and are in a folder of photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, do you also have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab?
    Or if the videos are in an iPhone compatible format, they need to be in your iTunes library and can be selected under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone.

  • 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
