IOS 14.2 Phone Problems

I had no problems with dropped or missed calls until my 14.2 update the other day. My service hasn't changed (Verizon), my location hasn't changed (work from home since March because COVID-19), and I've tried resetting the network settings. No, airplane mode is NOT on, nor is the date/time bad, nor is the do-not disturb on.

Apple, fix this, please! Tell us how! My brother has missed 2 important calls, and I've been dropped from work calls to the point I am cursing to my boss. The lack of support I have seen people getting from Apple about these major issues with 14.2, is troubling. It is impossible to work with a phone that drops calls every 2 minutes now. I am ready to drop Apple and go back to Android. These issues are important!

I am also having this issue after updating to IOS 14.2 on November 13th. I too have been working from home since March and had no issues until then. Now every call drops within 2 1/2 minutes. My signal bars vary wildly from 1 to 4. I was usually a steady 2 bars before.

Yes. I’m only getting about half my calls. Had an emergency call lastly this am and call didn’t ring through. Got the VM this morning.

also Family are literally texting saying they are calling me but it’s not showing or ringing.

This is bad. Very bad.

I just updated my husband’s phone to 14.2 then I noticed phone calls being dropped. Missed an important call from his home care nurse. I updated my two cell phones two different carriers and losing or dropped calls. We need reliable phone with my husband’s heart condition. I hope Apple can fix this ASAP. My husband may not get his Dr. Calls

I updated to 14.2 and it is TERRIBLE. after 3-5 minutes every single one of my calls drops. it takes about 1-2 minutes to reset at which point i can call back. the cell phone is unusable. this is the worst problem i've had with apple in 10+ years. it makes the phone worthless.

I have updated my phone to iOS14.2 and ever since no matter what my location the phone keeps cutting out. I’ve tried the numerous tricks mentioned here and online and nothing has helped. Multiple cutting out during conversations and sometime just goes silent whilst the phone call hasn’t yet cut out - awful.

When i first got a computer I had it custom built the builder would always tell me Paul its not your computer its their software

there is nothing wrong with your phone its apples 14.2 software

my phone is doing the exact things yours is doing

car makers dont make you up date their software every six months

Just got off my iphone with no less than 4 drops talking to the same person

after 14.2 update which has turned my phone into a piece of crap

ready for a samsong

couple years ago had so many problems with my smart radio in my truck wanted to throw it away well guess what it wasnt the radio it was apples crappy update that screwed everything up

apple make us their test dummies not verifying their software before they throw it at us

Like everyone else here, I've had dropped calls consistently since iOS 14 update. Changed out the SIM card. Didn't help. Got a new phone from Verizon. Didn't help. This is clearly an Apple issue that, as far as I can tell, they haven't acknowledged. I've had iPhones since the iPhone 3G, but I'm done. I'll be switching to an Android phone as soon as I can make arrangements to back up everything to another cloud.

I have the same setup, but can't turn off my wifi calling because I don't have a strong enough cell signal at home to make business calls. One other thing: we do have xfinity service, but I use an external router & booster. Calls are dropping all the time, so much that I warn every single person that we will probably get disconnected. I am super frustrated as my business relies heavily on phone calls.

Turning wi-fi calling off didn't help me. Calls still drop every 2-5 minutes starting right after 14.3 update no matter where I am. Has happened on the road, at hotels, at home, etc. Bars seem unstable - will go from 4 bars to 1 suddenly even if I haven't moved and then the call drops. I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has helped. I'm so frustrated!! I have Verizon - seems like 80-90% with this issue have Verizon. Apple needs to figure this out otherwise I'm switching to an Android!

Same issue with mine. It’s neither specific to region nor network. Even my friend is having the same issue after installing 14.2

Could it be your xfinity router? I have xfinity and did the network reset with my iPhone. I don’t have any issues now but I know my xfinity router has been finicky was all of my Electronics lately.

My iPhone X (and my wife's iPhone X) which were updated to ios 14.3 also drop calls after 5 minutes.
