Problems making & receiving calls

I have just been given a Nokia 95, I have inserted my vodafone contract sim card and everything works appart from making and receiving calls. I have contacted Vodafone and they say they can't help me it's a Nokia issue. Has anybody had this problem or can anybody help?
It displays the message call not allowed?

My sim card is fine and works in other phones.
Things I have tried so far:
Making sure all call barrings are inactive
Making sure all call diverts are inactive
Updating access points via a vodafone download
Updating the whole software of the phone via Nokia

  • Problem making/receiving/disconnecting calls and p...

    I was looking for a new phone to replace my old Samsung Star, but I was unable to justify this expense. So, I saw Nokia Lumia 710 with it's GPS software and hardware as part of the package. Windows phone looks so beautiful that I just bought it last march, 23th.
    Now, verifying this forum I realize that my problem, some how, exists since January in Europe. As many people here I have problems to end a call, but in my case the call never completes and when I try to disconnect Lumia just does nothing beyond show "disconnecting" forever. The only way to recover control is turning Lumia off.
    Its true that my carrier has a very weak signal where I live (at my apartment), but my old Samsung at least make and receive calls. Some times I must move near to the window to have a better reception, but works. With Lumia, different from what I was expecting (a premium Nokia quality signal  - the best possible reception), some times just do not work! Some times people calls me and the phone do not ring. Some times I receive that screen offering me the opportunity to send a message like "I'm at a meeting" or something like that, but I do not have the opportunity to receive that call. This is very frequent since I bought this Nokia. Some times, when I make a call, Lumia pretend to call, pretend that the other person is connected, but, in fact, there is no calling sound. The phone remains mute all the time, there are no call. When I give up, I press "disconnect" and Lumia shows "disconnecting" but nothing happens. To recover phone control I must turn it off to try again. Once I was so angry that I press many buttons and Lumia freezes up completely and was needed to remove battery to turn off.
    About GPS, that was my main excuse to expend a lot of money on a new phone: Nokia Lumia GPS is disappointing. Lumia GPS looks like loose satellite signals very frequently. I decided to make a comparison between my Lumia and my wife's iPad. Working totally offline, side by side at my wife's lap, while iPad was able to show immediately every turn I make, Lumia takes long time to realize that. In fact, most of time, Lumia just realize that I turn when I was reaching next corner. I'm using Nokia drive 2 and, in this test, since I don’t have a GPS software at iPad, I just leave Lumia and iPad with the map showing our position. I do not set a destination.
    Finally, my last disappointment is about windows Phone and the “one account policy”. Really? They think people will be happy to give up from their messenger accounts or Xbox accounts to use Windows Phone? When I turn on my Lumia for the first time it asks me to enter or create a Microsoft account. I think about and I realize that I don’t want to add payment information to my very old Hotmail/messenger account, so, I create a new one. My mistake because soon I discover that Windows Phone do not let me choose a different account for Messenger or Xbox.
    I call Nokia in Brazil to find a solution for my two main problems: making/receiving calls and the GPS performance. The only solution they can think about was reset my phone. I do that a few hours ago. This time I choose to enter my Messenger account to be able to chat with my friends, but, of course, I loose my Xbox id created with the other account.
    “One account policy” is so “not smart” that is very hard to understand why they do that. The need to reset the device to choose another account is unbelievable. Mean while, with iPhone/iPad, to change accounts is so easy…
    I will test my phone for the next few days to verify if reset solve all my problems, but right now I’m very disappointed.
    (I hope you can understand my poor english).

    Reset Lumia 710 do not solved my problem. I was forced to send the device to technical support. Even if they was unable to reproduce the problems I faced at home, they did a flash reset (or something) and now my phone always ring when people call and I can end calls without a problem. For now those problems disappeared.

  • Lumia 520 red light while making/receiving calls

    I noticed there is a small red light blinking on top of screen just near the speaker, where you hear the voice while calling. This happens while making/receiving call, a small red light blinks/stays on near speaker.
    Sometimes the light goes off when i press the lock button while making calls.
    Solved!

    Hi Joi7,
    Welcome to the forum!
    What you're seeing is the proximity sensor of the device. This will activate once you receive or make a call. The main purpose of the proximity sensor is to disable the screen whenever you put the phone near your ear. This is to prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the call. This also works just by covering the sensor using your hand or any object. This feature is available to all other Nokia touch screen devices. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have another concern.

  • E52 problem when receive call

    Hi all
    Can somebody give me solution to my problem!
    My E52 is with SW 054.003 have a problem: When I receive call from somebody, I press the green button and start speak, but on display still I see that  I'm not receive the calling. After 20 sec. starting  "call duration timer". Example: If stop speaking after 6 sec. in call log don't save call duration second. If speaking 35 sec. in call log are saved 15 sec.
    This problem occurs one third of the conversations.
    Please some help! 

    This is exactly my problem up there. I tried to delete every single App on my phone to see if theres an App which is disturbing the Telephone App, but nothing happened. The weird thing about this problem is that I can use the "Viber" App without any problems and I can record Voice Recordings. My partner can hear me loud and clear and so are the recordings. So that actually cant be a hardware problem. My warranty has expired too, and this is already my second iPhone bc theres was a Homebutton problem on the other one...!
    Thanks for the help.

  • Brand new iPhone 5s earpiece volume very low while making/receiving calls

    I bought an iPhone 5s yesterday, set it up and updated it to iOS 7.0.3 and much to my dismay I tried to make a call and the earpiece volume is extremely low. Is there a simple fix for this or some sort of explanation or should I book an appointment at the apple store and ask for a replacement. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

  • Making & receiving calls - iphone 4

    I cannot make or receive calls on my Iphone 4. I have done everything suggested in the trouble shooting - updated, restored & restarted. I have no tone at all, either calling out or trying to accept a call. Any ideas?

    Contact your phone carrier.

  • MEGA ISSUES MAKING/RECEIVING CALLS

    OK, so it seems my iphone can't do what a phone is supposed to do, make & receive calls.
    I try calling anybody and the call hangs up after 2 rings, says 'call failed'. When I receive a call it works for like 2 or 3 seconds then hangs up, just long enough for me to tell my parents 'I'm OK' after trying to call them like 10 times and having the call fail.
    Someone on the macrumors website said they had the same issue last Friday and their bandaid solution was to shut off 3G, I did and that worked.
    This is not acceptable, both apple & att have let me down so far in the month that I have owned an iphone, I'm paying them good hard earned money and this is what I get!

    It's football sunday I should not have to deal with any other issues than Tom Brady going down for the PATS and seeing how this just happened this AM I have not been in touch with anybody at att or apple but I might just have to tackle the 1st person I see.

    This seems to be a widespread issue, I just finished reading a three page thread in another area of the forum.
    Mine never worked right out of the box. Unfortunately, I didn't come to realize this until after I had left the AT&T store.
    When making a conventional call, the person on the other end cannot hear me unless I switch to speakerphone. I have a scheduled appointment with Apple this morning, let's see what they say about it. Based on what I have read so far, it sounds like I will have to get a replacement.

  • Making/Receiving Call Problem

    Hello All,
         I'm sure this problem has probably already been posted elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it.  Anyways, I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 and quite frequently, unfortunately, when I try to make a call it will connect to the other phone but neither I or the person on the other end will be able to hear each other.  When dialing, the phone doesn't make any dialing noises such as key beeps or anything, it just says connected. I end up having to keep hanging up and redialing until the phone connects and we can actually talk and hear each other. At first I thought maybe it was the phone so this past weekend I took it back to Sprint and got it swapped out with a brand new one of the same model.  Haven't had it 2 days yet and it's doing the same thing again.  It will do this sometimes when someone calls me as well, I'll answer the phone and won't be able to hear anything. I have had this problem regardless of who I am calling... same network, different network, land line, even my voicemail. It also does it whether or not I'm using my Bluetooth.  I really like my phone so if anyone has a solution or a workaround to this problem I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks for your time.

  • Lumia 920 service problems/ no internet access. Also problem with receiving calls?

    As of yesterday I have been having a wierd problem with my Windows phone, and exploring through the web, I've seen a couple of other people with this problem as well, with no one really coming up with any other solution but to do a hard reset, which I abosuletly want to avoid. So my problem is that I don't seem to have any internet access, regardless if I am connected to 4G or through wifi. This is real wierd because it just started happening all of a sudden. I didn't do any update, didn't download anything new, nothing like that.I know for a fact that I'm simpily not just mistyping addresses or have airplane mode on, I'm stumpted as to why this is happening. To add another layer of confusion, I don't seem to receive all calls I get. For instace: yesterday, one of my friends called me, I received his call right? Well later that day, my Father apparently called me, but I never received any nottification or even a voicemail that he ever did.  What the heck is going on here and what can I do to resolve this?? 

    Hello @ThomasWolf
    I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing issues with your phone.
    When you say you’re unable to access the internet, is it just via your Web browser? Or is it apps that require data such as Facebook, YouTube, etc.?
    Have you tried via more than one Wi-Fi network as well?
    Try to open up att.com/ttr via your mobile web browser; do you see a confirmation page?
    If you’re continuing to have issues, then please contact us.
    Thank you,

  • N85 switches off when making/receiving calls.

    Hi,
    had my N85 6 months now and have been very happy with it, until this morning.
    When I try to make a call, or press "answer" to receive a call, it switches itself off.
    Same when accessing voicemail.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, if there a solution?
    Regards,
    Antony

    Hi,
    I had the same problem after my phone went for swim in a pool for a bit.
    I found on the web that I could do 3 things to see if it fixed it or not.
    1. Upgrade the Software Version. Mine is now at v31.002. I did the update using the Nokia Update Application running on my PC.
    Result: Did not fix the problem. Cost: Free
    2. Replace the Battery. I noticed that my battery didn't hold it's change very well even after 24 hours on the charger.
    Result: Did not fix the problem: Cost: $55NZD
    3. Replace the ear piece. Bought a Nokia replace part on ebay UK.
    Result: IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. Cost: $2.99UKD
    It was pretty easy to replace the ear piece, you just need a T4 philips screw driver and something (I used a plastic scraper used for cleaning my oven tray) that will slide in between the slider gap (I saw a quick demo on YouTube) to pop open the front cover when to take the 4 screws out. Just be careful with the plastic piece around the Navi button as it can easily pop-out and tricky to get back into place.
    So I hope this helps you.
    Cheers
    PS. This is actually a friends phone and I was seeing if I could fix it or not. He's now got a iPhone now so it's a spare one.
