Helped alot! Simple instructions and it worked!

Thanks SO much for this video! Although it didn't fix my particular problem (because the problem was on my carriers end), it made me feel empowered to try to tackle the issue and helped me get to know my phone better in case future problems arise. Although my son is fine with it, I feel bad having to ask him for help all the time and would like to be able to at least try to fix problems on my own.

Wow--this is a lot of suggestions. Thanks! Everything on my 4 year-old phone was working, but suddenly it felt hot, and then it lost capability to make/receive phone calls & voicemail. I tried your steps, except for the factory reset. (Don't want to lose photos or contacts info, or at least till I learn how to save & transfer them) I'm glad system reset worked for several folks--but it didn't for me. Tomorrow I'll get brave enough to take the case off and access the SIMS card. Hopefully the sudden heat didn't mean something integral to the phone didn't short out! I'm ignorant and forget the sequence of steps, but I'm gradually learning.

I had to correct the Access Point Name, Network Operators and turn on International Data Roaming, Allow 2G Service and finally made my phone work. It's been a long day...

My android phone have problem also with call forwarding outgoing and incoming calls not working

[@auliavc4832]

Me too, how to fix this?

[@bnyvalentine8328]

So I've done everything but the factory reset.. Will I lose my pictures, messages and so on if I do? My phone carrier couldn't even help

[@pity_6095]

Unfortunately, yes. Your only option would be to back them up on a cloud service.

[@electricianpat1]

Hi have you fix it

[@electricianpat1]

Have same problem las 3 days

[@SGSummonerswar]

Still not working 😥

[@theaviator2407]

Same here. I can't make or receive calls. But can use text and internet

[@SGSummonerswar]

I don't know whats the problem 😥

[@DATR01]

It may be a lot easier than this. On my Moto g android phone. Voice Calls Unavailable is appears when the Sim Card is disable. In Settings go into Sim Card or Sim Preferences or Call Preferences, or similar. In here one can turn Calls on or off and Mobile data on or off. If the "Call" Sim is off you won't be able to make or receive calls. Make sure it is turned on before trying anything else. I also have a Samsung tablet but I can't find the above on this phone, so the solution will be phone dependent.
