Hi Irisheyes250, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are unable to call a number that is not in your contacts, and you are getting a “you are not authorized to call this phone” message. We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.
Are you using a company or school provided iPhone?
Do you see a category called Profile under Setting > General?
Have you had the chance to get in touch with your carrier or service provider?
In the meantime, we recommend updating your iPhone if you haven’t.
While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest version of iOS for your device can help isolate potential software issues.
Kindly secure a backup and update.
