IPHONE 4s call failed??!!!

Pierre du Plessis your solution worked for me too!

Thanks!

Hi, i have an iphone 4s from t-mobile slovakia, and im unable to activate it or ulock it because of that.. can i pay you trough paypal so you can send me an t-mobile slovakia sim car so i can use it?

I started looking at this thread yesterday after two phone calls I made whilst in my car, stationary yet in a 4+ bar reception area with 3G. Each call was lasting more than 5 minutes. As soon as it hit the 5.23minutes, it completely dropped out and I was left with the 'call failed' message displayed. I pressed the green button to try and call again. Luckily, the person I was calling hadn't put the phone down so it automatically reconnected me. But one the second call I wasn't so lucky and had to wait over 5 minutes for the persons answer phone not to cut in each time. Apple need to research this more closely.

The solution for No Service/Searching problem in iPhone 4S...it worked for me instantly...

I have iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.2 (10B146) and had the same problem

Whenever the problem kicks in, just change the date and time of your iPhone and turn on & off airplane mode and wait for it...!! it will work for sure...if it still doesn't work, remove the sim and plug in back...!

Good Luck!

Thanks a TON man , it worked 🙂 i restored it like ******* 7 - 8 times without any luck thanks again

Thanks. This fixed the problem for me - I also RESTORED my iphone to factory settings and reset it before changing date and time to local settings. worked!

Turn iphone completely off and back on. done

Just signed in to +1 on this

same problem here .... iPhone5 O2 UK

Looking at how old this thread is [Oct 16, 2011], I doubt Apple looks here, which is a shame, but wanted to record having same problem here in hope that one day, when enough people have reported this, Apple would acknowledge the problem & provide a fix.

generaly a call failed is the carrier. please call your carrier for troubleshooting

That would be true if I had the same problem with the carrier before getting my iPhone

I had no problem with my previous phone [HTC windows phone using same sim card]

I updated my iPhone 4 to 7.0.2 on 3 October 2013 and ever since i have been unable to make calls. Any advise?

My phone won't ring. It just says call failed and disconnects. I am waiting for 3 LIFE CHANGING calls (no hyperbole, this is the WORST possible day for this to happen). ANYONE HELP ME!

I have problem with my iphone 4s, I recently moved from middle east and bring my iphone 4 s with me to US I bought new SIM card (simple mobile) it work fine for the first 2 days and after that I tart with face the problem in calling (I cant dail the phone disconnected immediatly when I wantto call somebody) as well as when some body try to call me they face voice mail even no rings. When I restart the phone every thing be fine but I face this problem 4 times a day I try to reset the phone to factory setting but the problem not fixed >>> Can somebody tell me plz what can I do???

Sh*t! I gave my 5s to my son and got his 4S, but this POS shows "call failed" all the time. I have to shut it down and restart it to just make a call and who knows how many calls I have missed!!! >_<

Yes I'm on Vodafone in the UK and get the same "call failed" issue on about 25% of calls. Its a company phone and my colleagues have the same issue.

Not sure if its just a coincidence but "upgrading" to the latest OS seemed to make it worse.
