It's an iPhone 7. So, I do not think an Apple Care Protection would cover this. So, as an alternative to not being covered, take this to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider), for extra help. They will look at this error firsthand and will know where to go from here.


Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller. Click: Service & Support > Enter your location information, and see if there is an AASP nearby. Contact an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix this.

Deactivate the Mute Button:

The mute button wouldn't happen to be activated, would it? If so, deactivate it when calling, by tapping the microphone button, making it non-green (Button’s location: top-left corner of the phone app screen, only while on a call).


I am uncertain about the 20 minute part.
