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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6339
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.

When will ipad2 (with 3G) have capability to make phone calls over sim card

I would like to know if and when will IPAD2 with 3g have the capability to make phone calls over the sim...

We're all just fellow users here and have no idea whether Apple will ever release an iPad with cellphone calling capability. I would doubt that any existing iPad will ever have such a capability, though, if you're referring to an iPad you already own. If you need voice calling capabilities, consider one of the voice-over-IP services such as Skype.
Regards.

Why will Siri make phone calls for you even though your phone is locked?

I just discovered that, from my locked screen, Siri will gladly make phone calls for me... How can I change this?

Disable Siri from the locked screen. You probably have a passcode set up. Under settings>general>passcode you should be able to turn siri off on the locked screen

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!

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:

Hi chelsinator,
You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
Cheers,

Is there any way to make phone calls from an iPhone 3GS trough my Macbook Air?

I would like to know if it is possible to make phone calls from my iPhone 3GS through my Macbook Air.
I can do it with my iPhone 6, but my the 3GS is my work phone and it would be great if i clould do it with this one too.

Problem - Can't make phone calls with my new Tour 9630

I just bought a new phone - Tour 9630. Its a brand new phone on Sprint.
Now I am in India using this phone on Vodafone and all the services are on, I can send and receive emails, texts, go to websites and download stuff BUT I cant make any calls from that phone.
Everytime I try making a call, it just disconnects after 2 seconds as if it was not registering anything.
What I tried:
Change the mobile connection to GSM only and hard reset the phone - DID NOT WORK
I tried calling service provider who mentioned all my services are working fine
I tried changing the sim card on the new phone - DID NOT WORK
I used my Vodafone sim in another - Works fine but not on the new phone.
I called blackberry support at vodafone - they say I might have to update the OS, which does not sound as music to my ears because this a new phone.
I rebooted the phone million times - DID NOT WORK
I wiped the phone and reinstalled everything - DID NOT WORK
Checked and changed all the setting and tried making calls - DID NOT WORK
Anything you could do to please help me so that I can make phone calls will be highly appreciated.

My issue has been taken care of. It seems that Sprint has had an issue with the phone number prefix 238 in the 24151 zipcode. I ended up having to change my phone number and put my phone number under a new zipcode. It all works awesome again. Thanks.

My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.

My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
Please help, this is frustrating.

Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.
