IPHONE 4s call failed??!!!

Hey Im glad there is atleast one person out there who has a similar problem!! I just got my Iphone 4s delivered to me 4 days ago nd since the past 3 days I have been able to make 2 successful calls out of the 100's attempted. I dont know what to do. Have you found a solution yet?

I've had my 4s since release date (in the US/ Colorado)- I'm on AT&T with a 64GB white phone- I've had an iPhone since 1st Gen, always AT&T. I've never had this problem before, but I'm having it with this phone- easily 50% of my outgoing calls do just as described above. The call looks like it's connecting, the counter starts counting time, but there is no sound. Sometimes, apparently, it connects and the recipient can't hear me and I never hear them, other times, it just times out and says call failed.

Wack

The problem for me is not being able to turn off 3G for phone calls. I have no problems on EDGE. The 4s has no option to turn 3G off.

You can turn 3G off by going to Settings>Network> Then turn off cellular data. This has allowed me to make phone calls without any issue or disrupting any calls. The Apple support said that this might be due to a fault with the micro-sim since some of the phones are unable to use previous micro-sim's since they are not compatible with the iOS 5. Note: Very rare phones have this issue so you might want to check with you network for calrification.

Snap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Top phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you want to make a call>>> 15 calls ..5connected ...3 of them took 25 seconds to connect.. 2 of them there was no sound. 5 texts sent >>x2 arrived

Arranged a "Return" to Vodafone the same day I got it,

Brilliant bit of kit!!!!!!! but worthless if you cant use the phone!!!!

Do I try another one?? I think I will but I will keep returning them back for a new one if they do not not work! 3 chances!

Hi All same problem with my iPhone 4S takes 4>5 attempts to make a call, rings other end but my end is completely silent. Wish I'd stuck with iPhone 4. Vodafone say they are out of stock and will replace when they have more in stock. Don't seem to have a problem with in coming calls.

That's a drag. I would hate to get a replacement phone with the same issue because I have paid for a screen protector AND paid for Best Buy to put it on. I'd lose that $$ right off the bat.

I recently realized that many of my problem calls were placed at or around the same geographical location (an intersection on my way home from work). However, with my old phone (not an iPhone), I never had problems in that area. Guess I'll call Verizon to ask if there are known issues near that intersection...

I had a 3GS on AT&T and just moved to the 4S. It's been horrible. I don't know if it is AT&T or the phone but I need to make a decision fast on what I'm going to do. On the 3GS we experienced dropped calls, but with this 4S, it's more like I can't get the phone to even call anyone!

I was in Boston over the weekend. I kept trying to call my sister who was also in Boston so I could locate her. My phone kept saying it was calling her, but I wouldn't hear a ring, but saw the time counting by. Then it would say call failed. Then I got a bunch of "call failed" in a row. It lasted for a good 20 minutes. I had 3 bars on my phone. I was like WTH?! She said she was trying to call me too, but it kept going straight to my voicemail. She is on VZ with a Blackberry. I eventually got through by calling my neice, who is on VZ and has an iPhone 4. Not sure if I got lucky and finally got a call connection or what the issue was. I also tried sending a few text messages in Boston, also with 3 bars and they were failing to send too. I would keep trying and eventually it would go through.

Now I'm back in the Albany, NY area today, and I spent 15 minutes trying to call my husband to wish him a Happy Anniversay and I couldn't get through. Tried his cell (iphone 4s too) and the land line number. Same issue where it says "calling" but I hear no ring and nothing happens. Beyond frustrating. I was contemplating

***** to hear about people having that problem. I have a Verizon 32GB Black iPhone 4S and im in the Orange County, CA area and i have not had a dropped call yet, its been perfect!

I am having the same problem with my iPhone 4s, 64 GB on AT&T. It works for a 1 or two calls in a row then when I go to make a call I do not hear a thing, I see it on the screen making the connection the person picks up I still can't hear them and they can not hear. It appears I have full bars when I try again say after reboot I only have a few bars but then it does work at least for a couple of more times and does it again. Also I have noticed when this happens if I speak into the phone I basically can hear myself like an echo back through the phone. Software or hardware glitch. Never had this problem with my 3g or 4 iPhones.

Additionally I had updated my 32 GB iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and did not notice the issues that I am having with the 4s.

our problem seems to be siri related!! look at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857

if you can't hear anything on an outgoing call push the speaker button on iPhone 4s, then you should hear something.

Additional information, the solution described in the link only works for problems with outgoing calls, where the connection seems to be established and the time counter is counting!!

It seems that there are also sim card related problems. If you got dropped calls or other network problems your problem might be sim card related. Many German provider began to exchange the customers micro sim's.

I also read that this problem only occurs when using an old sim in your new iPhone 4s (most of the people used their sim's in an iPhone 4 before). In that case it could help to deactivate the pin code, but that should be done in an other phone! Hope this helps.

Thank you for the link to that thread. I found another link/solution within that thread:

I followed the solution stated in CNET website it it seems to have done the trick :-) I didn't have any issues with the sound today

OK I am aware the issue stated here goes back to 2007 but I think it is a headphone jack issue.

I will keep you posted if the problem comes back

I am now concluding that for me, I'm having two separate issues.

1. No audio sound - I had been talking to my sister earlier via speakerphone. Then when I tried to later call her normally, is when I couldn't hear her or a ring and the time counter was going. There seems to be a glitch with switching between headsets, speakers, siri and normal phone calls. I never use a headset, and didn't use Siri that day. It makes sense now....I couldn't hear anything when trying to call her, because she was the last person I called on speaker. Then when I called my niece (a new number) it worked fine. The next day I had the issue again when calling my husband, but I had been listening to music with my headphones on just prior to trying to call him. This must be a software issue that I hope Apple fixes ASAP.

2. Dropped calls / calls failed. I'm going to try what my friend (an Apple employee) suggested. He thinks because I restored my 4S from my old 3GS it's just exaggerating any issues I had on my old phone. He suggested I restore my phone, set it up as a new device, and then resync. Hopefully that will do the trick.
