You can use a service like Skype. Download the (free) Skype app from the App Store and see if that meets your needs.
I have no financial or any other interest in Skype. I am a Skype customer on my Mac.

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?
I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

My phone doesn't make and receive calls. It doesn't have coverage where other iPhones with the same network do. Please, let me know how way I sort this problem out?
My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

Wifi-using Apps blocking 4G LTE network and can't make or receive calls. Any solutions?
Please note: I can make and receive calls right now, but I was having a significant issue earlier yesterday and today. So, I kind of want to give a heads up to others and see if anyone has experienced this and discovered the root cause of the problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I got it about a month or so ago. Within the last 24 hours, I have experienced issues with calling out and receiving calls. When someone tries to call me, it rings and rings, and goes to voicemail without it ever showing up as a recent call. It was determined that part of the issue is likely having to do with an App or multiple Apps that use my Wifi connection at home and is blocking the 4G LTE network. However, I wasn't really given a perma-solution to it. It's "trial and error" I guess. But, this could be a potential hazard and I would really like to figure it out once and for all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to discover more about this issue and a perma-solution.
Here's what I did with customer service's help:
On the phone, turn the Wifi setting off.
Dial #832. If successful, dial another number and see if you can complete the call.
If you can complete the call, turn the Wifi setting back on.
Try dialing #832 again. If successful, try another number again and see if you can complete the call.
If you cannot complete the call successfully, try long-pressing the HOME button at the bottom of the device. All running apps should show up. Click CLOSE ALL.
Try calling #832 and the other number again to see if the calls can be completed.
If the calls can't be completed, call Customer Service, or if your phone is your only mode of communication, do a live chat via a laptop/desktop.
In the meantime, I did test having several apps open that do use Wifi, the 4G LTE indicate isn't showing up, but I seem to be able to make calls right now. Otherwise, for the sake of safety, does anyone out there have any solutions or know what App(s) or setting(s) may be the root cause of the problem?

Told me to try *228. I told him Verizon Tech support told me not to do that. I'm sooo confused. :-(
If you are using a Bionic or any other 4G phone, you do not dial *228 to update your Preferred Roaming List ... that is handled automatically by the phone's SIM card. To force an update, you can turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, wait a few minutes, then replace the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and allow a few minutes for it to re-establish a connection.
However, as noted by the Verizon rep, if you check the Verizon coverage map, there isn't any coverage in area code 79834. I've no explanation as to why your neighbor's phone works.

My iphone 4 can make and receive calls but I cannot hear the person on the other end...they can hear me. I have tried plugging headphones in and resetting...any other ideas?
If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.

Entire trip have had no problem using the phone in different locations as we traveled. Now I am unable to make or receive calls or texts, unless I am on wifi. Then I can send/receive imessages and other normal web functions. I checked settings>carrier and that's "on" and settings>general>network and both cellular data" and "Data Roaming" are "on" but I'm not getting or sending data when not on wifi, so cell data is apparently not working. Any thoughts?
If the phone is reading No Service, then no, the cellular connection is not made. Did you change SIM cards during your travel? It is possible your home carrier is not recognizing the phone. With the home carrier SIM installed, do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The other alternative is to go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings.

I am trying to setup my Macbook Air to make & receive calls but I am getting an error message stating "FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls" when selecting the box to turn on iPhone cellular calls on my Mac. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I am signed into iCloud, FaceTime, & Messages with the same Apple ID. Is anyone encountering this?
Hi,
The Same Network is only needed for the Text Forwarding part of the Messages app on both and the iMessages account's Text Forwarding.
I understand Blue Tooth is On but have your paired the two devices for Handoff and Continuity ?

My husband just got me an iPad2 for Mothers day and today when I tried to sign on to it it said I do not have a cellular data network? I'm at work where we have Wi-fi. Can't I just use that to sign onto my webmail and to get onto the internet?
If you are in a wi-fi only area, then you need to join a wi-fi network. Does your office have wi-fi? Has the Admin given you the iformation to join the wi-fi network?
To join a wi-fi network...
1. Go to Settings/Wi-Fi
2. Tap Other...
3. Enter the name of your wi-fi network
4 Tap Security
5. Tap the type of security the network uses and return to Wi-Fi
6. Enter the password and tap Join -
Can't make or receive calls from iphone 4 - all i get is static
I cannot receive or make phone calls on my iphone 4 -- al i get is static. very loud screaching...
I have rebooted my phone and updated to 7 but it still is the same. I am extremely frustrated -- I am paying for a phone i cannot useIt sounds as if you have tried all of the user troubleshooting. You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the closest Apple store and see if there is a hardware defect.

I am having heraing problem with iPhone 4S.Speaker and headphone works well.No echo.When I use handset to receive or make calls,I can't hear anything?I restore the phone and removed the plastic as well.Is there anyway to fix this problem?
I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet? -
