I can't make calls on my new phone. It says it cannot be completed as dialed but it is the right number

Are you adding the area code? A lot of times, that has to do with your carrier requiring the area code to dial out. It has to do with changes to local numbers required by the FCC to allow only 10-digit dialing. All major wireless service providers have adopted it. I get that message when dialing out without the area code. Some states even have to add the country code for local calls.

Also, are you able to contact the service numbers for your carrier? If you can’t call even those numbers at all, your carrier can correct it. It’s possible it’s a settings error or your phone isn’t provisioned correctly for calls.

I hope that helps!

Did you just get the iPhone SE (2022)? Does it have active cellular service on it? If NOT then do you have the active SIM card from your old iPhone that you can install in your new iPhone? Have you contacted your carrier for more information?
