Hello BigLarry65,


We would like to see how we can help you with your calls. Follow the steps in this link and let us know if you have any questions: If you can't make or receive calls on your iPhone - Apple Support


"Check your network setings

  1. Reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all current saved settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferred networks, and VPN settings.
  2. Try to make or receive calls in another location.


Check your iPhone settings

  1. Turn Airplane Mode on and off. Go to Settings and turn on Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn it off.
  2. Check Do Not Disturb. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and make sure it's off. Learn how to use Focus on your iPhone or iPad.
  3. Check for any blocked phone numbers. Go to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts.
  4. Check Call Forwarding. Go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding and make sure it's off.
  5. Check Silence Unknown Callers. Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. If the setting is on, a caller must be listed in your Contacts or Recents. Or they must have shared their number in Mail or sent you a message using that number in order for their call to go through. Add their number to Contacts to ensure the phone rings. Calls from some third-party apps might not go through."


Cheers!
