Phone cannot make calls or texts

Hi
I'm hopeing somebody will be able to help me with an issue I'm having with my phone.
I successfully activated my phone on Friday ( 3 days ago ).. the cell service worked great on Saturday.. I was able to make calls and texts.. However since Sunday, the network no longer seems to function.
1. Whenever I send a text message it doesn't go through
2. When I try to make a phone call it automatically connects me to a Verizon operator saying to use a calling card or something.
Friends and Family report that when they try to call me they get a disconnected message / text messages do not go through.
I just became a Verizon user on Friday after switching from AT&t (7 years with them)
Thank you,
Ryan

I had the same problem on Saturday, and I stopped into a Verizon kiosk at the mall.  The guy at the counter simply checked to see that I was properly set to the correct device on his computer and after he did so, he dialed *228 on my phone and followed the instructions.  I haven't had any issues since.  My only difference, is that I switched from the iPhone 4 to the 4S, but have alwasy been a Verizon customer.  But as far as the problem goes, It sounds identical to mine in every other sense.  I'd stop into a see  verizon person if you can. 
good luck.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I would test the radio first,then find out if the carrier had accidentally removed the 
    correct options from your phone line.
    From the home screen, go the icon connections., click to enter, scroll down to Mobile data network
    options, Click on it, then menu key, Diagnostic test tools. Run the test. Make sure you see the Pin to PIN
    message pass, at the end of the test, the report is stored on the device, This will come in handy when you 
    talk to the carrier.
    Let us know how if goes!
    Thanks,

  • When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

    So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
    However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
    Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
    Any thoughts anybody ?
    Thanks,
    UG

    Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
    If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
    Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
    All combinations work good with Home WiFi.

  • I was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was pgraded to ios version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  There is nothing else we can suggest.

  • Cannot make calls or send texts using new carrier, was able to do both with previous carrier

    iphone 4 bought new/privately JAIL BROKEN/SIM FREE, used with uk carrier no problem, but now using a thailand sim (TRUE) and cannot make calls or send texts - but can recieve both, TRUE checked & found SIM OK and confirmed it worked normally on another iphone ... software is up to date and I RESET NETWORK SETTINGS still same - HELP !

    Sorry, there is no support for jailbroken iPhones here...more than likely the cause of your problem. You'll have to go elsewhere for help.
    Good luck.

  • Cannot make calls from phones other than my own?

    I have a Skype To Go number for the unlimited US/Canada package.  I cannot make calls from phones other than my own: "Due to technical fault..." What's the point of having Skype then?
    Post transferred to create its own new thread (topic);
    subject/title edited to differentiate from other posts.

    That makes no sense at all. The phone doesn't know or care what kind of phone is calling it. There's something else causing this. Contact your carrier.

  • We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.  If it's already unlocked skip to step 2.  This works and will work even if you update the phone. 
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point.  If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can.  I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

  • My new iPhone 4S won't let me recieve/make calls or texts.

    My new iPhone 4S was delivered to my house this morning and I put in the SIM card and left it off for an hour...an hour or so later I turned it back on, set it up and it said that I was connected to my network (3) and that I have full signal. However, my phone will not enable me to receive/make calls or texts and everytime I go to call, this error messages pops up: "Sorry, you've not been given access to this service" and immediately ends the call. Also, everytime I switch on my iPhone, it says in the corner that I'm connected with my network and next to it will appear a small UK but it will go away in a second. Ive also looked on my settings for the iMessage but it keeps saying it's waiting for activation. I don't understand what's going on with it :/ Please help me, thanks so much.

  • Cannot make calls on my Iphone 4

    Cannot make calls with my Iphone 4.  recording says re-enter the 10 digit number you are trying to call. Do not hit send. *67 or *82 cannot be used on this call to block or unblock cvalles ID.

    What happens when you tap on the Phone icon?
    This red circle "next to" the phone icon, just where is it (left/right, high/low, overlapping/nearby/far)?
    Does it have anything in it (fill/nofill, digits/exclamation point, etc.)?

  • Cannot make Calls: "Announcement 4 switch 1 8 dash 8"

    So, about a week ago people began being incapable of understanding what I was saying on phone calls, the volume was very low and the sound was completely garbled.  I experimented with recording videos, and the videos had captured sound perfectly.  So it seems it is not a hardware issue, unless video records sound with a different microphone than phone calls.
    Then just today, I could not even make phone calls.  I would get "this call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number. announcement" followed by a 'switch' code.  I then activated the "advanced calling" feature of my phone for the first time, restarted the device as instructed, and verified successful installation of advanced calling.  I still cannot make calls, with the "call cannot be completed as dialed" message followed by "4 switch 1 8 dash 7" and then eventually "4 switch 1 8 dash 8."  This occurs when calling Sprint numbers, Verizon numbers, and even 1800 numbers.  I have tried calling my phone from another phone, and I hear the same message on the 'healthy' phones.
    Phone: LG G2

    Usually it indicates a problem with the format of the number.  Have you tried 1 area code 7-digit# or drop the 1 or drop both the 1 and the area code?  Maybe try a new SIM free at a corporate store or power down, pop yours out, reinsert, power on.

  • Can't make calls, send texts, or connect to internet

    Hi all,
    The topic heading says it all!
    Since this lunchtime, I have been unable to make calls, send text messages or access the internet (unless it is on wi-fi).
    I have restored the iPhone setting and am unsure what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    PinkSocks,
    When you restored the iPhone, did you set it up as a new phone? If not, prior to trying another restore, you might want to try resetting the network settings.
    To reset network settings, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
    Some other good troubleshooting steps to try:
    iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/calls/
    On your iPhone, what does your signal strength display? Do you have an "E" icon or "3G" icon at the top? Have you contacted AT&T to see if there are any current outages in your area, or to troubleshoot your wireless account?
    Hope this helps,
    Raleigh

    Last week my Nokia 520 that i have had for three months has started to breakdown. When playing music on the phones speakers or playing anything that had sound on the phone it stopped working. My headphone socket still works. The strange thing is my ringtones and alarms still work through the speaker? I had completed a factory reset and still it has not worked.

I did NOT reset the phone or did anything, It was on the table and when i unlocked it there was sound. which was really frustrating cuz i could not find out what was it that caused the problem. then today in the evening i was playing this game, and again the sound went dead again.
