IPhone 1, 2.0 is rarely receiving phone calls

Most people who call me say they call, then after a ring or two it beeps at them and hangs up. Never getting my voicemail. Then, other people say it goes straight to voicemail without ringing. I am always getting voicemail and no missed calls at all or people have to try to call me 3 times before they get through. Does anyone know what's going on with this?
Should I take it in for repairs? It's not a 3G phone...just FYI.
Thanks,
Lorne

I had a similar problem with my phone today. I called ATT and they "reset" my phone by sending some type of network signal. Works fine now.

  • IPhone isn't recognising Contacts when receiving phone calls!

    Whenever someone tries to call me, even if they don't have a private number and are in my contacts, it is coming up as 'Unknown' caller. Please help!

    So when they call it says "Unknown" and not the number?
    That suggests to me that the phone number of the person calling you is not being sent across the network and therefore the iPhone isn't being told the number, and therefore it can't match the number. If it was just the fact that a number was coming up instead of a name then it would be the case that you didn't have the number set up correctly in your contacts (e.g. missing area code).
    So, you say your brother's "phone is set to send caller id". Are you sure about this? Can he call another phone and make sure? If that works then is that other phone on the same network as your iPhone?
    There isn't a setting to turn off numbers and display unknown instead (and I can't see a use for one) so if you can prove this works on another phone on the same network as you, but not the iPhone, then it suggests to me that the iPhone is faulty...

  • I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

    Hello,
    i have an iPhone 5.
    i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
    i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
    iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
    i Have tried:
    changing all all do not disturb settings.
    checked call forwarding etc.
    checked mute
    my silent button is not on.
    i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
    oout it in recovery mode.
    i Have no success with any.
    the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
    does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
    PLease, please, please

    I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

  • 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.

  • IPhone 3G OS 3.0 (not able to start / receive phone calls)

    Since I've updated to iPhone OS 3.0 I can't make phone calls via the "normal" cellular network. When my iPhone is on the 3G network everything works fine.
    When my iPhone is on the "normal" cellular network with full signal and I try to make a phone call I get the "call failed" message after 10 to 20 seconds.
    When the iPhone shows it's connected to my provider via the "normal" cellular network and people try to call me they reach the voice mail
    Sometimes I can make a phone call via the "normal" cellular network and then after a couple of minutes the connection got lost and I get the "call failed" message.
    Sometimes I can make a phone call via the "normal" cellular network and then after a couple of minutes I can hear the other side of the connection but they can't hear me anymore.
    Sometimes I can make a phone call via the "normal" cellular network and then after a couple of minutes the other side hears my voice "scrambled" and the connection gets lost.
    And again, when my iPhone is on the 3G network everything works fine!
    With iPhone OS 2.2.1 everything worked fine but after the update to iPhone OS 3.0 the problems started
    I tried to restore the phone now for a couple of times without restoring the backup but nothing seems the solve this issue. I tried with different SIM cards (iPhone is sim-lock free, Belgium iPhone) but all with the same issues. At this time I don't use the iPhone anymore and switched back to my old phone "Sony Ericsson K750i" because otherwise I want be able to receive phone calls when I'm in a area where there isn't any 3G network available.
    Apple please fix this issue, I've got my iPhone for the "Phone" part, not the "i" part.

    I have exactly the same problem with my Q-Three and 3GS 3.0. I haven't found a solution. Motorola bluetooth works fine. Previously used the Q-Three with a Samsung T919 without issue. Looks like a compatibility issue. Lots of problems posted in the blogs with iPhone and Bluetooth... If you figured it out, please let me know. Thanks.

    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!

  • Unable to make or receive phone calls on iPhone 3G

    I just returned from traveling; during my trip, the phone started searching for a network, which it has never done repeatedly, like it is now. Since yesterday I have not been able to receive or make calls! Very frustrating, esp. since I was traveling into a volatile weather situation. At any rate, internet, text messaging and email are working fine. HELP!

    I've had my X since Sept 2010 but over the past 48 hours or so I have been unable to make or receive phone calls. I can dial out but I hear nothing even though it shows that my call is connected-the person on the other end cannot hear me but their phone does ring and they answer but then there's nothing. My phone will ring when someone calls but when I answer it again there is nothing there for me or the caller. I can text, play games, surf the internet ect... basically everything is working fine except the ability to actually use the X as a phone......any thoughts out there before I have to go hang out in the Verizon store for a few hours to get it figured out? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

  • MacBookPro Cannot Make/Receive Phone Calls

    Hello,
    My MacBookPro (early 2013 Retina) cannot make or receive phone calls.  I'm on the same wifi network, my bluetooth is on, I can send/receive texts and SMS, I have the most recent software upgrades, but I can't make calls.  As of right now when I try it says "Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network".
    The same thing is happening with my iPad.
    In FaceTime under "iPhone Cellular Calls" I've tried to move the slider over to the right to allow calls on MacBookPro and iPad, but it says "Cannot Turn on iPhone Cellular Calls- FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls".  THEY ALL ARE ON THE SAME APPLE ID!!!
    IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!
    I am actually having issues with handoff JUST on my MacBookPro if that is any sort of useful information.  It works just fine on iPhone and iPad.

    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.
