IPhone 4 suddenly can't receive calls?
My wife tried to call me numerous tunes at work today and she said she heard " the customer is unavailable at the moment" each time. So I just tried twice to call the phone from home and I'm getting the same thing, it was working fine yesterday?
I'm with bell Canada.
Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I have an iphone 5 & I can't receive calls, only make them. I've even reset it
For some strange reason my iphone 5 won't allow incoming calls. I can call out & nothing else seems to be the matter with it. I have reset the phone, checked (& checked again) all the things it could be - like call forwarding or do not disturb buttons on.SOMEONE HELP & TELL ME HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM & FAST PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
Hi .
Have you tried the SIM in a different phone?
Also have you reset the network settings as below:
From the home screen, tap Settings.
Scroll down to, then tap General.
Scroll down to, then tap Reset.
Tap Reset Network Settings.
Tap Reset Network Settings to confirm.
Thanks. -
IPhone and Yosemite can't receive calls on Macbook
Using the new integration feature in Yosemite I am able to make calls from my macbook via my iPhone.
When I receive a call it shows up on my Macbook but when I click to answer the call it fails and says "called failed"
I have 15" MBP Retina, iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1, Yosemite, all on same Time Capsule wifi router, same iCloud, etc.
Here is what I found my problem was. My MBP was connected to the Time Capsule via a "hard wired" Cat5 cable.
When I disconnected the cable and then just connected via WiFi I was able to receive and make calls.
It is odd that if I am on the same network but not connected via WiFi, but have a hard wired connection it will make calls without any issue but won't receive them.
Anyone else have the same issue?
Hopefully Apple will fix this in the future.Is your old phone OFF? Are you able to get any calls or texts on the new phone? Have you dialed *228 to activate the new phone?

IPhone 6 suddenly can't receive email
For some reason the phone suddenly is not recognizing my AOL email account. It is one of 4 accounts I have on the phone but the only one having an issue. I kept getting an error message saying my password was incorrect whenever I tried to update the mailbox. I have gone into Settings to re-enter the password with no success, I have turned the phone on and off, and I even deleted the account so I could re-add it. Now it won't let me add the account at all because it still thinks the something is incorrect. I get the following error message: Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "imap.aol.com" is incorrect. Nothing is incorrect!
This used to happen randomly on my iPhone 4, but it was usually my iCloud email on that phone. Is this a common thing? So frustrating. I have not yet done the 8.1.3 update, but I am assuming that has nothing to do with it.kitobear wrote:

Does your account & password work on the AOL website? -
Can't receive calls on locked iphone after 2.0.1 update
since i updated my original iphone from 1.4 to 2.0.1 firmware, i have the following problem: when the iphone is in use, it receives calls just fine. but once the phone is locked (that is, the screen is black), all of a sudden it can't receive calls anymore. it does not ring or vibrate. only after it is unlocked again, i get a "missed calls..." message. any ideas?
Actually, it appears there is an issue with 7.1.1 which a lot of us are experiencing. See here:

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.
I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
HELP!MarketingMary,
I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?
I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

URGENT: iphone 4 hang, can't power down, can't receive calls, can't do anything
I've been using my iphone 4 for more since I got it when it came out 1.5 yrs ago with hardly any problems.
I updated to OS5 few weeks back and was totally Ok until today, I started my gmail, and the phone froze and the swirling symbol is going next to my full WiFi Access and ATT 2 bars signal strength.
It's been more than 30 mnts, and can't receive calls, can't power it down, and nothing I pressed or did seems to affect the device.
What do I do?Well, first, you can't revert back to OS 4.x, and second, a search of the forum will quickly show you that this could happen with 4.x, 3.x, 2.x and ever the original iPhone Classic.
And don't think of the iPhone as a phone; it's a very powerful pocket sized computer that can also make phone calls. And it can suffer all of the things that happen to any computer, like the Windows Blue Screen of Death and the Mac OS X kernel panic (which is what happened). It happens when memory gets full (RAM, not storage) or when one app steps on the memory of another. You can minimize the chance of it happening by turning the phone off occasionally, which shuts down all of the apps. -
My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else come across this? Thanks!

Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having cellular connection issues with your iPhone 5. The following troubleshooting assistant may help to resolve this issue:
Apple - Support - iPhone - Calls Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/#section_1
For more in-depth troubleshooting, see the following article:
iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
2. Restart your iPhone.
3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
- Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
- Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
7. Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
8. Restore the iPhone as new.
9. Contact your carrier to:
- Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
- Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
- Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,

Hi,My iPhone device is unresponsive ,not even able to shut down or restart .i can only receive calls thr' Bluetooth. no other apps could be operated,kindly help.
Not responding or does not turn of
Thank uHi softwater,
Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't looked into Carbon Copy Cloner previously, I'll check it out.
I'll see what I can do about getting to a store. I've only just had the MBP13 get a logic board replacement, for which it had to be in store for a week, so I'll have to make plans to move data around so I can keep working while it's out of action.
I won't be able to take it to a store for at least another week, so if anyone else has an (unlikely) solution in the meantime I'd be very appreciative!
Thanks -
if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??
You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support. -
the screen on my smart phone is broken, it still works, I can here my received text sound. Can I receive calls on my tablet or pc?
IF you have installed/activated Verizon Message+ on your phone, then yes you can. If not, you are out of luck.
If they are iMessages on an iPhone, you could log into your iMessage account on an Apple computer to read the iMessages, but would be unable to view SMS/MMS. -

Can't receive calls when I'm on Internet
I can't receive calls when I'm on either Youtube or safari. At least this is what I have checked so far. When people call when I'm online, they don't even get the voicemail. What must be wrong?
Stay tuned: Others will chime in here soon--> Basilon is mistaken. The iPhone (currently) is simply not able to receive calls while actively on the internet via the edge network. The call will go directly to voice mail in that scenario.
Allan's post is correct (you can take take his posts to the bank ;)).
Basilon might have experienced a call come through when he was looking at a page that already downloaded (Don't even know if that's possible.)
*Your calls Not even going to voice mail (OP) is a problem. It should do that.*
