I cannot make outgoing cell calls because Skype takes over. How to fix?

I have an Android Samsung run 2.3. Whenever I try to make an outgoing call on my cell phone, it brings up skype and says that I don't have enough money to make a call. I NEVER want to make outgoing calls with skype. How do I turn this off and set it back to using my cell carrier to make the call? This is absolutely horrible that Skype has taking over my phone. Do I have to uninstall it?

IPhone 6 Plus cannot make outgoing calls and cannot send text messages

I haven't been able to make outgoing calls and outgoing messages through my iPhone6+ since yesterday.
I have done research and have tried suggestions like turning the phone into airplane mode, turning off the iPhone, re-setting the network settings, erased all the content of my iPhone and restored backup, erased all contents and used as new phone but I still cannot make outgoing calls nor can I send test messages. At first I thought I did not have sufficient money on my sim card however when I tried my simcard on another iPhone, it worked perfectly. I also tried another simcard on my iPhone, but it still can't make a call. I have never had this problem since I got my new iPhone6+ last December. This is the first time I've had a problem like this with an iPhone and I've been using the iPhone since iPhone 4s,iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Could there be something wrong with the unit that I have? Is there any other troubleshooting I could do?

If you restored the device as new and it did not work, then I suggest you contact your carrier. The function of phone calls and SMS messages is a carrier function. They would need to test your account. Your only other option would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device examined.
Can you receive a call and/or message? If so, then I would suspect the SIM and the carrier.

I Cannot make outgoing calls since i've installed ios 4.0.1

My iPhone cannot make or receive calls. I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work. I do not want to delete all of my contacts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode. I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing. This is beyond silly.

"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.
Best,
J

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.

I cannot make or receive calls suddenly. Ihave tried to power off and on and when I type in the numbers to make a call, nothing happens.

I cannot make or receive calls suddenly. The message bar shows 'searching' continuously without the WiFi symbol nor the LTE. Ihave tried to power on and off without success.
Any ideas?

Could be a power outage in your area.
YOu will need to contact your cell phone provider.

HT4528 My phone will not connect to a carrier (Verizon). It just says searching instead of showing bars. Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.

My phone just started doing this, it just says searching instead of showing bars. Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.
I have reset the network settings and the phone itself. I have called the *228 and it said it reprogramed my phone. walked away from my phone and it found service again for like 2 minutes and then went back to searching. This is pathetic, I basically have a touch now. I have hear several people have had this problem and it seems even after the phone is replaced they still have the problem. I can't belive you can spend this much on a phone to have it not work. Any resolve to this problem coming?

I have first a question. When it states to activate a phone press 1, did you do it? If not try it.
The second thing I would recommend is to simply change the phone number either online through my Verizon web portal or call customer service and have them change your number.
Then wait about 20 minutes and see if the problem has gone away.
Since the micro Sim is only good for overseas unlocked use; I believe a *228 send and select option 1 will set up your device on the Verizon network. You may just try doing that without changing your phone . Hey give it a try what can it hurt?
Good Luck

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.

I cannot make or receive calls from my Mac

I cannot make or receive calls from my Mac using Iphone from my home wifi network BUT i can do it while I'm using my office's wifi connection. what to do?

Are you saying that your house has both a home wifi network and your office's wifi network?
Or are you using the Mac and Phone at both work and home?
This is the Mac Pro desktop forum so are you lugging the Mac Pro desktop to work?
Can you use FT and Messages on your home network?

Cannot make any outbound calls "internal error"

i can recieve calls but cannot make any outbound calls to mobile or landlines. Please help!

International Support - Verizon Wireless
Call them toll free from another phone. You should have got the Global Plan on your device before you went to Mexico.
If you have a device with a Sim tray, get a local carriers Sim and use their service. It will cost money in either case.
Good Luck
