After updating my iOS to 8.1, my iphone-5 experiencing the problems. Mostly it says, phone is switched off or Not reachable.Previously, there was no issue. I think,this not network providers issue. Definitely, this is phone issue.

That behavior sounds like you have Do Not Disturb turned on. Check in Settings to see if it is on, and then turn it off. Also, if it is on, then it is set to block all calls, but if someone calls right back, the call will get through. Turn off Do Not Disturb, then you will receive your calls.

Even i am having the same issue. Signal strength is good on my phone, i am receiving SMS, Whats app messages and even i can make a call without any issue, but my friends are unable to call me. Whenever they call they are getting the message as either phone is switched off or not rechable even though the phone is switched on and i can see the full strength of the network. This seems to be a phone issue as i changed the same sim to other android phone and there there is no issue like this.

Do you still have that problem after reseting network settings?

Because I'm having the same issue

When someone calls me, my phone is saying it's switched off or not reachable (not at every time)

I'm using iphone 7 and i have tried everything, like restart, restore from backup and also tried reseting network settings

After that the apple care replaced new phone due to this issue.

But no use. The problem still remains

What can i do?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried many things like removing the sim card and inserting, changing the sim card, upgrading the IOS etc but unfortunately nothing worked!!. This most likely seems to be an issue with iphone/IOS (i could see may people facing the same issue. So less likely a phone issue) because if the same sim card is inserted in another Android phone, i am not seeing any issue with that. Everything looks proper on my iphone like i could see the network bar is proper, able to receive SMS, Whats app messages, Able to make calls without any issue but only problem surfaces when somebody tries to call me. I am not sure if this happens after i upgraded the IOS earlier from 5.x to 7.x??

Hi, Did you get it resolved?

I am facing the same problem with my iPhone 6. The SIM works fine on another android phone. But on iPhone 6 the problem appears randomly. Patchy performance. I receive missed call notifications without getting any ring and people complain they tried calling several times. Sometimes it is in not reachable state, but other times they hear the phone ringing (but I don't see any incoming alert)
