Unable to make phone calls abroad

Hi
I am currently in France and am unable to make calls from my phone - I am able to send texts, receive texts and receive calls though. When trying to make a call it comes up call ended or the company is unable to connect the call.
Thanks
James

Hi
Yes I have rebooted the device, tried removing sim and replacing sim, toggling the aeroplane mode on and off and turning data on and off also.

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

My siri is unable to make phone call ios 8, its says i cant call using that number?

i'm using 5s, with IOS 8. when asked to call any person, SIRI is able to find the contact but says, "i cant call John R using that number". So the question is what number Siri can call. I'm i missing out any settings or updates?

Thank you for responding. Yes, all the bills are current. I was finally able to get thru to *611 and after a lengthy conversation they said they are unable to help us without using another phone and yet all of our phones here are Verizon...I live in Brattleboro Vermont and our choices are fairly limited. They simply said they cant help. They talked about going to a Verizon store to perhaps have the program updated however we do not have a Verizon store-there is only a kiosk and they are not so willing to help with prepaid phone lines because they want you to buy a phone there!
I did try the *228 and the call wouldnt go thru either...

I got an internet connection on my phone. After getting the internet connection, I was unable to make a call or check the missed calls that I got. Please help me resolve this problem.

Sometimes and this is network dependant if they suspect the phone to be lost or stolen as in this case with change of Sim card and provider then the origonal network can and some will block the phone untill you have rang them and proven it's not the case or if you have bough this 2nd hand then the origonal seller may have stopped paying the contract bill and thus the phone is blocked

Will iPAD 2 allow me to make phone calls?

Or you can use FaceTime for audio/video "calls". But you can't make convential phone calls like a phone.

IOS7.0.2 can not make phone call anymore

iPhone 5 upgraded to iOS7.0.2 cannot make phone call anymore? Reset all settings, didn't solve the issue. Help!

Contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue, it is a carrier feature.

Can't used my iPad to make phone calls with 8.0.2

I can't get my iPad to make calls or answer texts through my iPhone. Same network, bluetooth on both devices, same FaceTime account. I can't find wifi calling on my phone to turn it off. Handoff is working just fine with safari
any suggestions?

Hello jllieblein,
Wi-Fi calling is only available on T-Mobile. The setting can be found in Settings -> Phone, should you have T-Mobile. Otherwise, Wi-Fi calling is off.
Make a call over Wi-Fi with iOS 8

The steps below detail how to go about setting your iPad and iPhone up to make phone calls.
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
This means any iOS device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.
You may also need to verify that iPhone Cellular Calls is turned on in Settings -> FaceTime.
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity

Want to make phone calls via bluetooth on my iPhone from iPad

I can link my Garmin GPS to my iPhone via Bluetooth and make or receive phone calls.
I would like an iPas app that provides the sametype functionality including:
Make calls
Receive calls
Look uphone numbers
Is this possible? Using what app?

There are a couple of Apps out there that will allow you to use a Google Voice phone number to make and recieve calls via the iPad. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you are trying to replicate the Garmin / iPhone setup I don't think that is possible.
Google Voice setup - gvconnect and talkatone. (wifi)
Skype - I think that you can make phone calls via Skype and Wifi.
I don't have a clue as if it is possible to make a phone call over 3G via the iPad.

Impossible to make phone calls... drop drop drop...

By now it's impossible to make phone calls because they drop every single time after about 3 seconds. My phone goes completely dead from the other side, they tell me. I love this phone for everything else, but shouldn't at least the phone function work?
My wife want me to return it and get a "good" phone...

Have you checked for the proximity sensor issue? i.e., is the screen turning back on after you put the phone up to your head and you're possibly hanging up the phone by pressing the screen with your cheek? Not saying this is your problem but definitely worth checking as it's a well known issue with the iPhone 4 and is widely expected to be fixed with firmware 4.1 coming soon. (I hope!)
Easiest way to test it is to simply use the phone in speakerphone mode. If the call stays live then you've found your problem. Also, do you have a case on the phone to deal with the well documented antenna issue? That will kill a call as well if you're using a bare phone and touching the metal edges with your fingers.
I replaced my 3GS with a 4 and rest assured, if you have a case on it, the signal and call quality is fine. I know for a fact that my new iPhone 4 is working better at holding voice calls than my 3GS in areas where my 3GS was known to have signal problems. I have a case on my phone and I do have the proximity sensor issue but I watch for that so otherwise, I'm very happy with the phone.
If none of the above is an issue then you may simply have a defective phone and you should return it for a new one. Cheers!

It sounds as if you have Voiceover activated. You should be able to turn it off by triple tapping the Home button.

Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube? I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent. It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

Can't make phone call to Taiwan

Can't make phone call to Taiwan now. But I paid for world unlimited call, and still active now.

Hi,
Your subscription is active and you can check it on your account page here: https://secure.skype.com/account/call-phones/packages
The problem is that Unlimited World only covers Taiwan landline numbers, it doesn't cover mobiles which you have tried to call recently.
You can check list of covered destinations under your subscription settings:
