I'm facing an issue where people call me claiming to have missed my calls from my number.
The problem lies in my iPhone 12 initiating calls on its own to numbers not saved in my contacts. Strangely, these outgoing calls don't appear in my phone's recent call list.
Despite replacing the SIM card and updating the phone, the issue is still there.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
I've just checked.
There's no outgoing calls from my number. How is that even possible?

Those are standard voice calls.
I have checked all the apps, none of them are allowed to call from my phone.
iPhone is the only one apple device I have got, there is no chance it would make a call using cellular network.
My biggest problem is that people that are calling me back are not even on my contact list.
It is possible to spoof a number. Spam callers do it all the time. The number appears as one number but it's really coming from another number. Or, there is some bizarre glitch in your carrier's system. Or, the people who are reporting this to you are mistaken or having a joke. Is it more than one person? If it's just one person, perhaps they've put someone else's number in your contact entry.
What Call? On an iPhone, you can make and receive various types of calls. Here are the different types:
It's important to note that the availability of certain call types may depend on your iPhone model, iOS version, and carrier.
If your callers are tapping on the entry in their Recents that appears to come from you, that might well be what would happen. I'd suggest you let people who are likely to call you that this has been happening and they should return any calls to you either by typing in your number or accessing it from their contacts list.
FYI, on an iPhone, anyway, if you had blocked them, they would not get a busy signal. Generally, the call will go to voicemail, where they can leave a voicemail that will get diverted to your "Deleted" folder in Voicemail, and for which you will not get a notification.
You should also contact your carrier and let them know this is happening.
It appears to resemble spoofing, to be honest.
Thank you very much for your help.
I have another question now. Is it possible that this situation could lead to calls from trusted individuals on my contact list being redirected to these spoofed numbers? There have been instances where my family attempted to call me, but my phone seemed "busy," as if I had blocked them. Strangely, there were no call logs in my "recents" indicating that they even tried to reach me. Could this potentially be the same issue?
Yes I did, when raise to wake was on, hitting the side of the pockets, the iPhone was turning on doing whatever possible to annoy me :)
Do the calls show on your cellular bill? If they do not, they are not coming from your phone/account.
iPhone 12 is making calls itself, NO LOGS IN RECENT CALLS
