Iphone has signal but cannot make or receive calls

I have an iphone 4s.  I have a good signal and 3G but making and receiving calls is intermitent.  I don't realise the phone is not working until I try and make a call and it fails.  Or I try calling my own phone and it doesn't work.

What carrier are you on? Are you on prepaid in Europe?
Does the call complete to the carrier's hotline?
Does data work?
Do calls work on a different tower?

  • Iphone 4 ios4.3 cannot make or receive calls

    Just upgraded to ios 4.3 on four iphone 4 and now cannot receive or make any calls.
    Been onto Apple who have been very helpful but cannot find what is wrong, they have agreed to supply new phones (what nice people) network is O2

    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. Try restoring as new. If all that doesn't work obviously you said your getting new phones.

    Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings.  If that does not do it then contact your carrier

  • My iphone 4 displays message that it cannot make or receive calls, I have restored it but after awhile the message comes back.....

    My iphone occasionally loses service and displays the message "iphone cannot make or receive calls", I have restored it twice and the phone will work for a while but reverts back to losing service and displaying the same message again.  Any help?

    It sounds like a hardware or AT&T issue. Contact AT&T.

  • 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.

  • No 3g\wifi - Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls.

    Just started getting this message on an IPAD:
    "Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Contact Apple at www.apple.com/service."
    3g and wifi is not working. The ipad has only been connected to itunes once when the device was set up so I'm worried about losing everything.
    I've looked online a bit and found a bunch of users with this issue on their iphone but couldn't find many ipad users with the issue. It sounds like the only way to make it work is to "restore" it or get a new one. "restore" means factory reset? Will I be able to back up everything first?
    I may try upgrading the device to ios 4 first.
    Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

    Strangely it started working on it's own after a few days. Then I connected it to itunes, created a backup, and upgraded to 3.22. Of course it quit working on vacation then started working again when I was on my way home. I guess I better bring my laptop next time in case it acts up again. Too bad ipad and iphones are tied down and require a PC.

  • Error message Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes

    I received this error message - "Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes" 
    Has anyone received this before & know what the issue is?

    If you are restoring from a backup, that's your problem. The backup is corrupt. After you restore, you need to select "Set up as new." You will need to reinstall everything again.

  • "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

  • IPhone Cannot Make or Receive Calls - Restore Does Not Fix

    Hello,
    On my iPhone 4 (not S) I got the "Restore Needed - iPhone cannot make or receives calls" message. I restored the phone, and it worked for about 30 minutes, then got the same message. I read on one of the forums here to try doing "Reset Network Settings" in the General Settings pane, which fixed it for 30 minutes or so again.
    Is there anything else to try or should I just head to the Genius Bar? Can you take it to an ATT store for repair/replacement?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Apple handles all hardware/software issues.  If you've had the device less than 30 days, you can exchange it at an AT&T store.  If you've had it more than 30 days, do not waste your time at an AT&T store, there is nothing they can do for you.
    Have you tried a restore as new to see if the problem continues?  It is entirely possible that the issue is something specific to the backup or a corrupted file/setting in the backup.
