Making and receiving calls on ipad

Prior to updating to iOS 14.6, I routinely made and accepted calls on my iPad using my iPhone without fail. Everything is set up the same exact way. However, after the update, when I try to accept an incoming call on my iPad, the call immediately fails upon pressing “accept.” If I try to place a call, the call rings but immediately fails when the other party answers. I’ve tried all the usual tricks and suggestions and nothing works. Any ideas? Many thanks.

You need to search online for your nearest, “local” Apple store location and call to make an appointment to have your Apple iPad diagnosed and options presented you.


Failing that,

You need to contact Apple support via the contact support link located at the upper right hand corner of every Webpage of these Apple support communities.


Use the Device Performance and Connectivity support categories.


OR


by installing and using the Apple Support app found in the iOS App Store.

It is possible that your WiFi router is unexpectedly blocking access to some internet/server resources - which might be resolved by a restart of your router.


To restart you home router, disconnect power - then wait at least 30 seconds before restarting. When you router has rebooted (which may take several minutes), force-restart your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




It is also possible that your currently selected DNS servers(s) are not resolving, or a blocking, some resource addresses. Changing your DNS Server IP Addresses might resolve this problem.


For recommended DNS servers (configured at your home router and/or your iPad), you might choose one of the following highly regarded Recursive DNS Providers (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses included below). Where your local network is dual-stack, you should enter both the IPv4 and IPv6 redundant server addresses.


Quad9

9.9.9.9

149.112.112.112

2620:fe::fe

2620:fe::9


OpenDNS

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

2620:0:ccc::2

2620:0:ccd::2


Cloudflare+APNIC

1.1.1.1

1.0.0.1

2606:4700:4700::1111

2606:4700:4700::1001


If restart of your home router - or changing your DNS Server settings do not resolve the issue, you should directly contact Apple Support for assistance


Should it be necessary to escalate your issue to Apple Support, the quickest route to engaging with Apple Support will be via the Get Support link at top-right of this page:
