Good evening and thank you for your response and for giving me some additional things to try. I have only had the phone for a short time but I have been able to make call from the secondary line. I will also check with the carrier to make sure it is not an issue on their end which I have not done. Again thanks for these suggestions I will try them and hopefully one of them will work.
