My phone app gives me a blank white screen. -redux
The blank white screen problem occurred on my iPhone 6+ after updating to 12.0.1 (from 12.0.0). As others have indicated, I was able to receive calls.
After restarting iPhone, logging in/out of iTunes, etc the Phone App white screen persisted.
Took my phone to my wireless provider (Verizon) as previously suggested to have the SIM card swapped out.
The SIM swap out fixed the problem.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12.0.1
