Siri cannot make phone calls that were made before

When starting out Siri worked fine in dialing up contacts. Now, for some reason, cannot connect. Recognizes the contacts -- but says she cannot connect. I don't get it.

This is a problem of Siri not being able to connect to the Apple server to interpret what you've said. Essentially, everything you tell Siri is sent to Apple servers, which then replies to the phone with the command. If Siri says: "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting..." it's not that she's having trouble connecting your call it's that she's having trouble connecting to Apple to know what you have asked it to do.
This will happen occasionally, especially on 3G (at least, that's what I've found). Just give it a second and try again or dial your call directly.

Cannot make phone calls after update to iOS version 8.1.3

hi i do own an iPhone 6, it was a beautiful phone until i updated to iOS 8.1.3. Now i cannot make phone calls at times, the phone shows no network. I updated the OS from wifi, my mom owns an iPhone 5c it also has the same problem. please help

What you describe...
Two iPhones
Same issue
Same general physical location (your house?)
... sounds very much like " cellular signal dead spot " OR "radio frequency interference"
Test this by noting exactly where in your house that this takes place and also where it does NOT. Repeat until you have a "Map" of the good and bad spots.
You cannot do much about the cellular signal but may be able to troubleshoot the interference problem. This document talks about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but the "Sources" might also apply to your cellular signal problem - radio waves are radio waves.

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore. I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

HT4061 cannot make phone calls, nor receive them

cannot connect to the internet, cannot receive phone calls or make them

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't work then contact your cell provider.

Is it possible to retrieve old backups that were made before itunes 9.2 ?

Hi all,
There were previous backups on my PC that were made from my iphone 3gs.
When it upgraded the itunes software to 9.2 and IOS4, it seemed to remove all of the older backups ???? i presume this is to stop going back to older firmware etc ?
Problem is though that since the IOS4 upgrade i have lost all of my contacts (didnt use mobileme or gmail or outlook etc) and the only way to get them back is to extract my contacts from a backup done previous to the IOS4 upgrade.(which have all been removed from the list of available backups)
Question is - are the old backups from itunes still stored somewhere on my PC ? i have a program that can extract my old contacts from a good backup file if i can find one...
Useless upgrade IMO that should be removed immediately until a fix is done as lots of people are still losing their contacts as we speak......

iTunes only ever kept one back up at a time. Every sync it gets replaced unless you back the backup files off yourself.

Cannot make phone calls since a week

Hello,
Since one week (about), I cannot make any phone calls. I have plenty of credit, and my connection is ok.
My skype version is 4.3.0.37 under ubuntu 12.04.
I tried calling FR, UK and US numbers without success. The phone keeps ringing (skype tone) and never connects. After a moment skype says that the phone call failed.
I tried disabling the "Caller ID" service, but didn't help.
Please help me to solve this..

HT3406 After the steps suggested, does it mean i can "remove" the SIM card and use my iphone via WIFI? i can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls right?

Is the wifi card a build in in ipod/ipad? yet build in on SIM card in iphone?

But on WiFi, could I still use Skype to make a phone call? I have a camera adapter for the iPhone 4 and would just use it as a camera and to play music after I upgrade to a later versionof iPhone. Am I correct in assuming that I could still do everything except connect through 3G?

Palm tero 680 cannot find network, cannot make phone call

Yesterday when I was making a phone call to my aunt using my palm tero 680, my aunt suddenly couldnt hear me even though I can hear her, so I hang up. I don’t know whats wrong, so I switched it off and restarted, then the phone says “network search" at the top but never finds it.
Then I tried to restart a couple of times, at first sometimes it can find the CMCC but I cant not make or receive calls, and whats worse, I can not go online...and from this afternoon to now, but when i restart, it never find the "network"...
I tried hard reset, but still no luck.
I put another SIM card to my palm, no luck, so i believe it should be the problem of the phone rather than the SIM card

Is your Treo an unlocked or an AT&T branded phone? It states in your profile that you have an AT&T Treo 680.
Look at the information in the following link to see if your Treo is in need of an update.

Cannot make phone calls DURHAM NH 03824

Our phones were working find until this morning and we could make some calls. Then all of a sudden none of our cell phones is working..we see full signal..we have tried switching on/off for sometime...its a real pain...any suggestions..zip code 03824

Hi LasinaH_VZW:
The zip code is already given in the post title in case you did not
notice. It is 03824. All phones in our apt were experiencing issues and
even going anywhere else in the building or outside the building did not
help. I appears to be a big issue if none of the wireless phones is
working, and we do not have access to anything additional to call Verizon.

Cannot Make Phone Calls

The Droid X can do so many things that making a phone call should be the least of my concerns. However, since it is a phone, I like to use it that way sometimes.
The problem is that very often when I place a call, it goes through, but there is no sound - at my end or the receiving person's end. Their phone will ring, but they don't hear me, and I don't hear them. I don't hear the phone ring at my end, so I have to look at the screen to see what is going on. I will see, for example: "Connected" with the seconds ticking away.
This happens almost every day. If I shut the phone down and restart - which takes several minutes, I can usually (but not always) get it to work. In the meantime, the person I am trying to call is wondering what is going on.
Any ideas what is going on here?

Sometimes these issues are not phone related, but are network issues. Call Verizon and let them know what is happening and they can check the network for connection and transmit/receive issues. Turning on an off gets you a re-connection to a cell tower and may result in a new port(?) that is not defective(?). I've had these problems before and they have mostly been cell network issues and rarely phone problems. Be sure and tell Verizon the numbers and location of the other parties too in case its a Verizon to other network provider crossover issue.

[2.2 3G] Cannot make phone calls

Hi everyone!
My problem is that I can't call anyone! People call me, SMS messaging works in both ways, but making phone calls is impossible. I've just restored my iPhone but there's no difference. Someone help me, please!

Hello, below are some tips that may assist
1. Reboot iPhone - Hold down home button & sleep/wake button. Once you see a silver apple logo let go. Perform calls.
2. Reset Network Settings - Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings - Confirm - iPhone will reboot. Perform calls
3. Toggle Airplane Mode ON for 1 min, Settings - Airplane Mode ON 1 min, then OFF, Perform calls
4. Turn 3G off, Settings - General - Network - 3G off, Perform calls on EDGE
*If calls work on EDGE this could be 1. 3G network outage or work going on in area. Drive around to another town or area of the city. And see if you experience the same thing again
*Possible 3G Chip HW failure. Contact Apple for more info and troubleshooting
*Possible SIM card issue. May need a SIM card replacement
*Contact cell provider and speak to their data support group. Data account and voice may need to be looked at and re-checked to ensure nothing changed on their end after software update.
5. Restore again, But this time restore as new iPhone if you restored from backup last time.

I cannot make phone calls (Nem tudok telefonálni)

Tegnap regisztráltam az ingyenes egy hónapos előfizetésre. //korlálan csomag //// Miért nem tudok telefonszámot hivni, pedig próbáltam.?????
Courtesy of Google Translate's best efforts from Hungarian language to English:
egnap registered for the free one-month subscription. // //// Why can not I pack korlálan phone number to call, and I tried.
Please post back in English language. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Unfortunately, I dont yet speak Hungarian, so I answer in English:
You were not able to call some numbers because mobile numbers are only included into Unlimited World subscription in some countries. Unfortunately, the mobile numbers you tried to call arent included. You can see the full list of numbers on http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ after selecting the country you wish to call to and opening the details of the selected subscription.

8.2/4th-gen iPad cannot make phone calls

Hi,
i can use my IMac to make calls on my 6+ no problem. My iPad, however, does not work. I have FaceTime and iCloud signed in and cell calls option turned on. On the iPad, I see a phone icon now on Contacts. When I tap it, it brings up the 'dialing in progress' screen, but it fails after 5-8 seconds with 'iPhone not on WiFi network' error. I am on my WiFi network. I can stream via AirPlay from both iPhone and iPad to my Apple TV no problem.
I have a 4th-gen iPad (AT&T) running 8.2. I've never tried this with the iPad before, so I'm not sure if this is an 8.2 issue or not.
Any ideas?
Regards, Patrick

I cannot make phone calls using Skype

Hello,
I have a subscription to call numbers in Argentina. I've been using that plan for a long time. I need to call a number that I called many times in the past but my Skype account is not working. Please help me. I need to call this number today. I checked my account and my subscription is active. It says that I have 400 minutes left. Thank you

Hi,
If you purchase the same subscription again it will only extend it, it doesn't add more minutes to your account.
If you have Ghana 120minutes then no matter how many times you purchase it within 30 days you still have only 120minutes during this 30 days.
Your minutes will be reset:
Ghana 120 min Sept 5, 2011
Ghana 60 min Sept 22, 2011
