Android phone not making outgoing calls
Your phone doesn't have a carrier signal or airplane mode is on. Check that airplane mode is off and you have at least one bar of signal. If you have signal but still can't call, restart your phone. This fixes it in under a minute.
Outgoing calls need a strong cellular signal and airplane mode off. If either of those isn't working, calls will fail. We'll check your signal, toggle airplane mode, and restart your phone if needed. If you have signal but calls still fail, the problem can be with your carrier account or phone settings.
- ✓Have a test phone number ready to call so you can check the fix works
- ✓Know your carrier account details in case you need to contact them
- ✓Make sure you're not in airplane mode by accident
