Incoming/outgoing calls fail on iPhone 11 Pro Max

Recently, calls made to me fail after I answer. When I call others, the same thing happens. There is also no record of the calls, even though I answer the call or the other party answers. They are not able to hear me, and I can't hear them. Then the call fails.

Thank you for the followup reply.


Update Immediately, Backing Up, First:

Update your iPhone to iOS16. Update have bug fixes and feature on-ons. Note that only the latest update will install (iOS16.0.2 as of this reply). iOS15 and before are no longer available.


A. Time to Update iPhone:

That depends on the capacity, and how much has to be modified to operate with the new iOS. So, perform this while at home, with nothing on your schedule.


B. So, Update Using a Computer:

For a more reliable connection, try updating using a computer... Use my User Tip:  Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip

Thank you for your reply; I will check out A, as I just made a successful call (B) after multiple calls were failed calls. I checked for a cellular update (C) but there was none, and my iOS (D) is up to date. Will continue searching so that I can consistently use my phone again.


Is this a hint from my phone that I should check out 14?
