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.

    You can send iMessages to other iOS devices, like iPad, iPhone, etc. Furthermore, the other iDevices users must have set up their iMessage.

    I cannot send text messages to anyone but iphone users. How do I fix that??

    The first thing you should do is contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly provisioned to send text messages.

  • TS2755 I cannot send text messages form my 4S iphone to other cell phones.

    I cannot send text messages to other cell phones.  Only iPhones accept the messages.

    check to see if you have SMS turned on in the message settings.
    IF that doesn't help contact your phone carrier as they handle messaging and see if they can help resolve the issue.

  • Cannot send text message or iMessage?

    I recently upgraded to iOS7 (like everyone else) and today cannot send text messages or iMessage. I can make phone calls and use other internet services. Any ideas?

        Hi shelmig1!
    Sorry to learn of any issues since upgrading to iOS7. Let's try some troubleshooting! Do you find that this issue is only for other iPhone users, or does it happen with all messages? Are you able to receive messages? Please reset your network settings: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Keep us posted on the results, thanks!

  • Cannot send text messages

    HI
    Starting 10 days ago, I cannot send text messages. i can still receive text messages.
    I tested my phone with a colleague who has an iphone. He receives a record that I am texting him but the message is null. I also texted a family member on her Android phone and she gets nothing.
    Here's what I have done:
    1. I did a hard reset twice. I removed the battery and even the SIM card in the process.
    2. Soft reset once using the Alt, **bleep**, Del key.
    3. Checked if my BB had the latest sotfware. It did It currently has OS 6 with bundle 2647.
    4. Wind Mobile Canada has reset my PIN
    5. I re-registered my phone as guided by the Wind Mobile tech support. I got an email from BB saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network".
    What else could I try?
    Thanks

    Click on TEXT MESSAGES icon.
    Go to BB Menu and Click OPTIONS
    Sroll down to "Data Coding"
    Choose "7 bit"

  • I just purchased a note 3.  Everything works well except I cannot send text messages.  I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3?   I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . .  It's a brand new phone.

        Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
    We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
    I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
    What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

  • Cannot send text messages 6111

    I used to have a Nokia 6100 with a company paid SIM. I purhased a new Nokia 6111 4 weeks ago. I transferred my SIM and everything worked fine (in/outgoing calls and in/out text) till last weekend. I can receive texts, in/out calls also, but I am not able to send texts now. Putting the SIM back into my old phone, everything works fine.
    Millie

    Has something happened to the Message Centre Number?
    Check it the 6100 as follows:
    Press Menu, and select Messages, Message settings, Text messages and Sending profile.If more than one message profile set is supported by your SIM card, select the set you want to change.Select Message centre number to view the phone number of the message centre needed for sending text messages (this is network provider specific)
    Then return to the 6111 and follow roughly the same procedure and ensure the message centre number matches that in the 6100.
    Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message Centres

  • Cannot send text messages to Verizon customers

    Hi
    I cannot send text messages to other verizon customers but can send to non vz. This has been happening since last night. Is there an update I need to perform? I have an iPhone 6 plus. Thanks

    Hi
    Thank you for your message. It seems like it is certain Verizon iPhone users. I did not download any new apps or perform any software updates on my iPhone. The ppl I could send text messages to were non VZ non iPhone users. Today I can only send to some iPhone users. They also had error messages sending text messages to me but not to my daughters iPhone (we r on a VZ family plan). Do I need to perform an update like *228 or something like that? Thank you!

  • N73 - Cannot send text messages/Multimedia key not...

    Sent my N73 into the shop to be fixed, and it came back with 2 problems. I cannot send text messages at all. I have heard that this can be solved with the sms accelerator, but I can find NO download link for the N73. I found another one and installed it onto my phone (version 1.0(0)) but the problem persists. ANy ideas or links to where the sms accelerator is for the N73?
    The 2nd problem is the multimedia key is no longer programmable. I press the multimedia key, then select the down arrow (configure) I scroll down to any of the options right, left, top, center, bottom. When I press the center joystick I just am taken back to the multimedia screen. I am not given any choices to reprogram the keys....any ideas there???
    Thanks for the help!

    Solved!

    Often it's just a case of resetting the phone after it comes back from repairs if they've upgraded or simply reflashed the firmware for you.
    Note that these operations will wipe your phone's internal memory so do a backup before proceeding.
    First option: revert to factory defaults. Dial *#7780#.
    Second option: soft reset. Dial *#7370#.
    Third option: hard reset. Switch the phone off and do the following.
    1) Press and hold the green "call", "3" and "*" buttons.
    2) With those buttons pressed down, switch the phone on.
    3) Keep pressing those 3 buttons and only release them once the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia "hands" logo or the language selection screen.

  • TS3406 iPhone 4s will not make outgoing calls once updated to iOS 8.

    I updated my phone to iOS 8 a yesterday and when I did it deleted my phone including all my apps on  my phone even though it claims to have backed it up just before updating (not a big deal most were free apps and the work properly once downloaded and the paid ones stayed on) but, my phone will no longer make outgoing calls. When I try the phone makes no noise for about 5-10 seconds and says call ended. I've tried reseting the phone, reseting the network and turning airplane mode on and off and nothing has worked. Also when I plug my phone into my computer it tells me my phone can't be restored and I should try updating iTunes but my iTunes is up to date. Any suggestions?

    I Am facing the same issue as of yours. i m having iPhone 4s and upon updating to iOS 8 it has stopped making any outgoing calls .Though there is no problem in recieving calls also with sending/ recieving messeges.

    You will need to purchase the upgrade CD for 10.6 from the Apple Online store, OR you can likely get one at an Apple Retail Store.  It is the last version that was available on CD.  After 10.6, the upgrades are available in the Mac App Store.
