iPhone 7 microphone not working

When I make or receive calls on th iPhone 7 the callers only hears a 'wind' noise with no voice.

I have completed a microphone check and it records my voice clearly. The phone also works without problem on FB messenger and Whats app.

I am on 3 network.

Any ideas please?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.1

It is possible there is an issue with your carrier settings, the provisioning of your account, a network issue in your area, or a defective sim and you should discuss this issue with your carrier.


Since you can record your voice properly and you have followed the tips below it might be worth trying to restore iOS and see if that fixes the problem.

If a restore does not fix it and the carrier has no recommendation, you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar or an authorized service provider to have the phone evaluated.
