Unable to make phone calls.

Hi, I'm having trouble making outgoing phone calls. I can receive them, answer them without problem, and send and receive text messages – but I cannot make outgoing phone calls.


I have tried talking with my carrier but they say everything is working on their end. I've tried restarting the device, resetting network settings, taking out the sim card and toggling the airplane mode but none of these have worked.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Check your iPhone settings

Go to Settings and turn on Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn it off. Check Do Not Disturb. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and make sure it's turned off. Check for any blocked phone numbers.
