Hey,

So i am only just having this problem with my phone, i see the last post here was months ago so has anyone had any updates about this problem? I have tried restarting my phone that only works for a few minutes then call failed happens again even though it would appear that I have full coverage, I thought then that it must be my sim but I put it into my old nokia and its been working fine all morning. my iphone has the latest updates so I cant think of what else to do, I’ve had it for 7months and its the first time I’ve had this problem. There isn’t even an Apple store here in Ireland, I’ll have to drive to Northern Ireland to Belfast and thats a couple of hours drive! Anybody any ideas??

Sadly this is a serious failing of the iphone, well known, you cannot fix it. I have had about 6 iphones, don’t get me wrong I love them but I and all my iphone friends constantly have dropped / missed / failed calls.

Sadly it would appear that apple are more interested in stuffing more and more complex features within the device rather than actually ensuring that the bloomin phone works properly at its most core level !!!

One other option to try, if you haven’t already, is to update to the latest iPhone OS. The current one is 3.0.

This may not help, depending on what’s wrong, but it’s probably worth a shot. Still best to bug tech support about it, though.

I have the EXACT same problem as indicated by “Alexander” above here– I can receive calls no problem, but get the instant “Call Failed” message at any attempt to dial someone. I am here in the states, with AT&T as my provider, but strongly suspect this is a software issue, not a service provider issue. I have powered on and off multiple times, to no avail in solving this problem.

Cool — Let us know if you get any good advice that may help others who aren’t helped by the solution I posted above. Good luck!

Hello!

I also starting having this problem and a techie friend thinks the SIM card might be at fault. As Colin pointed out, when all else fails, get thee to thy carrier!

I’ll be heading there tomorrow and will try to remember to post an update.

If it’s not working with you, you can probably get support either from Apple or from your carrier.

This doesn’t work for me either. I turn off my iPhone every night. Since this morning I haven’t been able to make any calls. It just says “Call failed”. Incoming calls seem to work though. Crap…
