Unable to make calls on iPhone after iOS 26.0.1 update

Since installing ios 26.0.1 I am unable to make calls. I have tried all the fixes on the Apple website except restoring the phone. I called my carrier, and they referred me to an Apple page. Can anyone help?

Call your carrier again and ask to speak to a senior tech.


Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.
