iphone 12 dropping calls

Thanks, I will give that a try.

If you have AT&T, have you tried enabling Wi-Fi calling?

I purchased a brand-new iPhone 12 Pro three weeks ago (an upgrade from my iPhone X, which I purchased in the spring of 2018).

I have tried literally every tip and suggestion on every forum I can find and nothing works to fixed the dropped calls issue. Not resets, not shutting off WiFi calling, not turning off 5G, not adjusting any other settings--NOTHING. I am on U.S. Cellular's carrier service in an area with very good cell service, typically. My calls are dropping completely and just cutting out all over the place. It's terrible. I only have a cell phone for my business (solo attorney with lots of clients), so this is affecting my job badly.

I am just at a complete loss as to what to do. I think this is very clearly an Apple software issue with this phone model, but are there any plans in the work for actually fixing it?

I have an iPhone 12 Pro with AT&T that I have had since launch day. I have had zero issues with telephone calls.

My wife has an iPhone 12 with AT&T also received on launch day. Also zero issues.

And those co-workers all have phones with 5G modems? My guess would be no. Also define "a lot." Do you truly believe this thread represents a lot of iPhone 12 owners? If you were to start at the beginning of the thread and count the number of unique posters who are having an issue, you'd find it's not many people. It's important to note this is the largest iPhone forum in the world and yet out of the millions upon millions upon millions of iPhone 12 owners out there, very few seem to have found their way to this forum to complain.

That doesn't mean 'you' don't have a problem. But in contrast to you, no one I know with an iPhone 12 is having dropped call issues and I know several people with iPhone 12.

And for clarity, I never said no one on AT&T can't have dropped calls. But I'm willing to bet we don't live in the same city and therein is the difference. In my city, AT&T has done the rollout of 5G service really well. In another city, they may not have.

And while the dominant complaint in this thread has been with Verizon, that doesn't mean Verizon is bad everywhere. Again, some of my best friends with iPhone 12 are Verizon customers. And again, in my city, they are not having dropped calls.

That's something AT&T needs to get sorted out; something in their local network isn't handling the transition properly.

I switch between Wi-Fi Calling and Cellular several times daily and have never had it drop a call since 2019 or so when AT&T got it sorted out in my area.

I didn't shoot anything from the hip. There is NO issue with dropped calls on any iPhone 12 model I own or for that matter anyone in my office or any friends I have who own iPhone 12. And I know many who do. You are the one who asserted this has to an Apple Hardware issue. Other a claim on your part you study things as part of your career, you have not proven you have the qualification to prove your assertion of a hardware failure on the phone. You know, since we're claiming "shoot-from-the-hip."

Since we seem to actually agree on one point, which is this is predominantly a Verizon issue. I'll add a little wrinkle. I live in a pretty urban area. My brother has iPhone 12 on Verizon. Two of my best friends who I see more than once a week who both have iPhone 12 are on Verizon. 2 People in my office with iPhone 12 are on Verizon. Not one of these phones are having any issues with dropped calls.

That kind of shoots a hole in your assertion this is a hardware issue. I'm more inclined to believe, though unlike you I won't flatter myself to say I study this, this is an issue in different locations where Verizon has not implemented 5G service well - IN THAT LOCATION. Again, dispelling this as an Apple Hardware issue.

I’m having the same issue. Just got our business all IPhone 12 and me the pro max and it’s just horrible. I wish I never switched

Since you just switched, you know you can return them within fourteen days for a full refund and get the Android models you so apparently wanted to in the first place.

You should always buy the product that best meets your needs. I am curious which model phone you used?
