Where and when is this message being displayed? Can you post an image here, please?

One thing that could interfere with calls is the carrier settings. Take a look at this article from Apple to see if it helps somehow Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support even though I never saw it prevent users from making calls.


Some more from Apple Support If you can't make or receive calls on your iPhone - Apple Support that basically comes down to the carrier settings or iOS (that you're already running the latest).
