Thank you for your response, yes it was only incoming call from 2 different people. I figured out what it was, ATT said their ATT Call protect app had a glitch in it. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it showed I manually blocked these 2 callers. I unblocked them and all is well, both have called to test their calls came through. I also reset my iPhone (hard reset)

Greetings, and welcome to Apple Support Communities Kubacloth!


From your post, it seems like you’re having an issue with the calls, not texts, coming in from your friend. 


You’d want to make sure to share this with your friend, as you’ve mentioned they are initiating the calls: If you can’t make or receive calls on your iPhone – Apple Support   If you’re unable to call them, we’d want to make sure you’re following the steps too.


Still need help after going through these steps?  Contact us using this link: Apple - Support We’d want to make sure the caller that is placing the call that is not going through uses the link. 


We hope this helps!
