iPhone 6 Plus Dropped Calls (Verizon)

I have a space gray 6 plus with AT&T and have the same exact issues......IT IS NOT THE CARRIERS.

Well, I went away from the Plus and got a regular 6. (keep in mind I have had 4 Pluses since release date.) I wasn't very hopeful for the 6, but it appears to be gone. So far so good. wish me luck.

you will need more time to test, my wife NEVER complains and she told me her 6 sucked for reception, but best of luck, time will tell for sure!

Anyway today my plus did not receive a call, it just showed in my call log as missed and it NEVER rang!

Are you sure you didn't have it in airplane mode or on "do not disturb"?

Those are the two settings that cause calls not to ring.

Interesting: I have no problem hearing others, but my voice has static in it and others complain about parts of words missing.

absolutely not in airplane or on "do not disturb"

service is horrendous with these 6's

but i have noticed all my previous phones getting worse also, and had verizon swap sims, reprovision, ect... nothing i do fixes it. but this phone is the worst

My issue was never call quality, at least in the usual sense. It was aways only my voice either sounding like I was in a tunnel, or disappearing completely only to come back a few minutes later. This was a near constant problem. Still no problems on the 6 though and I remain hopeful.

I'm now on my second 6 Plus, and the tunnel thing is no longer a problem.

I have now static, that takes out parts of words. At the moment I'm trying to pin down if it's my location or weak signal (I only get 1 or 2 out of 5 dots at home).

But I just had a call, and no problems.

I called the Apple store from here as well, and had superb call quality with them - from the same chair I had some calls where I had to repeat things because of static/lost details in words.

I was on a call with Applecare where this happened as well, and I got a callback number and will call him from an area farther away from my home, using a different tower.

The only thing that my two phones have in common is the sim card. I wonder if those sim cards could cause these problems, too.

You are not alone. I have the iPhone 6 Plus 64gb in gold and it's the first iPhone I actually hate. Had it for only 3 weeks and not a single call has gone well. I've tried many solutions I've found around the web and nothing is helping. Using any number of headsets makes matter worse. Yesterday a friend asked me if I wanted him to call me back later because I was in my car. I wasn't, I was speaking to him from my home office but he said I sounded as if I was in a wind tunnel.

I'm not pleased with the phone at all, not just because of the calls but everything about it. iOS 8 and how awful it is to use it on the 6plus Is driving me nuts. Too late to return it now so I'm stuck with a piece of hardware that I hate for two years.

Did you all shut down data and voice ???

sounds like you did not .

settings

cellular

enable LTE

choose only Data

do not choose data and voice.

I am only saying this because I have dropped calls or calls do not go thru, not static and sounding like crap, that seems like you have??

My calls are clear, even when I had data and voice the calls sounded even better, but the caller sometimes cut in and out or dropped a little more than it does with just data.

EDIT: I do love the phone!! Just upset about the verizon service or whatever it is, like I said it has been getting worse over time, no matter what phone, but this 6 plus and 6 are just rock bottom to it now. Bluetooth so far has just worked perfectly, the phone is responsive, just calls drop or do not get to me, something at&t and tmobile have been plagued with for years, I stuck with verizon for service but now it does not matter and next time i should just switch to something cheaper. Now I know we have an at&t person posting in here but at&t in my area has dropped calls so I can't compare or see any problem with that.

dfran1, why not use the setting "data and voice" for LTE?

You need this setting to make calls over the LTE network.

Log into your verizon wireleas account and then go to change features ...And turn off the advance calling feature ( this is what messing it up )

Then follow dfran1's step.

I am having less dropped calls since then. Best of luck.

Thank you !!!! That has to be my last step also in my Verizon account , I thought about it but was not sure .

voice and and data is your problem , turn it off and follow Problemwithiphone6+

That should fix it for all of us , I hope

and voice and data is beta now , try again in 8 months .

Sadly, having been through 4 phones, I have done everything imaginable to correct the "tunnel" problem- including turning on data only. I was dealing with not just tech support, but Verizon engineers. It was a nightmare. BUT.... I still have no problems since switching to the 6. Knock on wood.

I wish I could point you guys in the right direction. Everyone sounded crystal clear to me. it was only my end that was the problem.

dfran, the link in your post does not go anywhere. Is this a PM?
