IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes": I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range). help!

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

My phone will not send or receive calls

My phone will not send or receive calls; it goes straight to voicemail and when I try to send a call, it will not connect. I have reset, rebooted, and tried just about everything. Any other suggestions?

What did your carrier say when you contacted them and reported the problem?

My ringtone will not work, the phone just vibrates when receiving calls.

I just got a new Iphone5s today and my ringtone will not work. The phone just vibrates when receiving calls. How can I get my ringtone to work?

In addition, the most basic troubleshooting is to restart/reset/restore.

Thanks for reply,
It's truely a disestar for me to kill my phone myself by so called bloody upgradation.
Iwish I have not upgraded.
I baught it from here in Bangladesh and now I’m ina mess to get at least a minimum support.
Thanks for your valued suggessions but it didn’tmade any difference to my situation.
So now I have an ipod in the price of an iPhone4. Crap.
Is there any chance of fixing this bug by apple?As the same problem has already been faced by a lot of iPhone Users.

My kitchen phone rings, I can receive calls, I cannot make any (on that phone)

This makes no sense at all. It only affects the phone in my kichen. All phones in the house work. The computer modem works. I unplugged all jacks, waited 5 minutes (to see if it would reset anything). I then plugged all phones back in. Then the kitchen phone went completely dead. No dial tone, no nothing.
I then tried switching phones, (to see if it was the phone). This phone worked on all other phone lines in the house. I tried changing the connection cords. It's not those either. So it's not the phone, it's not the connection. I got a dead line.
Or so I thought. I had a hunch it might be related to the wall filter. I tried to remove the filter. How on earth do you get this thing off?
IK can't do it.
All of a sudden a few minutes ago, I went over to the phone, picked up the handset and what do you know? I GOT A DIAL TONE.
Still can't call out. I tried. When I depress the kieys, I still get a dial tone. I then took my cell phone, told my husband to phone me in the kitchen. The kitchen phone rang, I picked it up, I TALKED TO MY HUSBAND.
So essentially I have a kitchen phone that I can receive calls on, but not making any calls on.
And this phone was dead one hour ago.
Any comments are welcome.
I am thorougly confused. I tried calling up Verizon, but they want $91 to come to my house plus additional charges.
I am on Social Security, give me a break.
Thank you if anyone can help me.
Mel

Hi Melodyl... Your saying all other phones in the house are able to dial in & out with no problem except for the kitchen?
If so it sounds to me like its either the wiring to that one jack in the kitchen or the kitchen phone itself might be defective or on its way out. Let us know. Thanks Brett

Droid Maxx will not make or receive calls with a full signal

My Droid Maxx has been doing this for the last week or two. It seems to only happen at night though. I have a full 4g LTE signal, however it changes from grey to blue constantly. I am able to text, search the web, or plain just do anything else...other than call out or receive a phone call.
When I try and call it just says dialing or retrying.
Has anyone else had this same issue? I have searched my phone for any time settings that may be keeping me from making or receiving calls during certain hours since this only happens at night when I am at work but have not found anything.

I received a replacement phone and I have duplicated the problem on it. The call problems occur only when Wifi is turned on AND this began AFTER the KitKat release was installed on the phone(s). I noticed a similar complaint in the forum and his timeline suggests that he might be having the same problem. How can I get this investigated?
Thanks

I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT I COULD NOT MAKE OR RECEIVE CALLS AND I HAD TO RESTORE VIA ITUNES. I HAVE DONE SO AND LOST LOADS OF APPS ETC (MY FAULT FOR NOTBACKING UP) BUT STILL UNABLE TO MAKE OR RECEIVE CALLS.

Phone is only a few months old and was working fine last night - it ran out of battery but on being charged up this morning it was effectively locked. I received an error message that I could not make or receive calls and I had to restore via itunes. I have done so and lost loads of apps etc (my fault for not backing up) but still unable to make or receive calls. Anyone had anything similar and can advise who I should contact or what I can do.
Thanks,

try contacting your carrier and see whats going on.

Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to home wifi?

Recently, My Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to my home WIFI. The status bar WIFI icon is highlighted and the Connection Bar icon has 0 bars. When I check the WIFI connection in "settings" the status is connected and shows very strong strength. Any time I try to make a call or send a text I get a "no network error message" and basically I am dead in the water as far as cell phone use is concerned. My S4 is my primary phone for home and business use and is very inconvenient when I am missing calls, etc. I have done a phone reset and removed SIM Card as well as a rest. Please advise.

jlrwillis, I know this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to figure this out for you. How long has this been going on? Since you started experiencing the issue have there been any changes to the device? Software updates, application downloads, or damage to the device? If WiFi is off while at home do you see that you are connected to cellular service? Are you able to make a call that way?

mike44355,
You stated initially that you cannot make or receive calls. When you call someone else do they get the call but you cannot hear them? Or does the device simply not make a connection? Have you tried replacing the SIM card? Does the trouble persist in Safe Mode?: http://vz.to/1tXDMxF .

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through. The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card.
Try this and see if it helps: turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes. Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

I reset my phone and it now receives calls that were meant for my husband. I know how to fix this with messaging and facetime, but can't seem to find how to make it stop with the calls. Please help.
