If it has ever happened to you that you were preparing to make calls from your mobile but you have not been able to do so, it is more than likely that you have an incident with your device and, in more extreme cases, with your operator. But you should also know that this is not so strange, far from it. In fact, sometimes it is quite normal, and sometimes it can be fixed on its own.
If your mobile prevents you from making calls for no reason, be attentive
The main objective that a mobile should have is to be able to make and receive phone calls. Beyond entertainment uses and applications and socializing through networks, this is the first and basic thing that should work with our device.
Thus, whether we are very talkative users or if we only make calls occasionally, not being able to call or receive calls for no apparent reason can be very frustrating. In this sense, it may be due to various issues ; both possible failures in the mobile itself in terms of the configuration or the hardware itself.
However, in most cases there is a solution. As long as it has not been anything dangerous for the device itself, these possible problems of making calls from the mobile end up being fixed. It is true that in some cases they may be related to the system itself, but they are done well.
Do these checks
And it is yes; With the use of a mobile, you have access to all kinds of content, all kinds of entertainment and tools that can make our lives much easier. However, you must also always be alert to different aspects of a mobile in terms of its care, so that it can function correctly .
Likewise, when we are not aware of any of these factors in the care of our mobile, we can find ourselves with some complications that, in certain cases, may be more frequent and normal than they seem. For example, in many cases it occurs with a probable blocking of the SIM card or call forwarding. Has it happened to you?
SIM card lock
This, perhaps, is one of the most frequent, but we do not know it until the moment in which we can go to our technical service. The reason may be that you are browsing with WiFi and that you did not realize it . If you have the SIM card blocked, you will not be able to receive or make calls (unless you use the WiFi to make them).
You may also have recently changed SIM cards or changed carriers. To fix this problem, it will be important to talk to your operator to configure your mobile correctly and, above all, to make sure that your SIM has not been attacked. In addition, and related to this reason, we have to check if there is any restriction applied to your line that is preventing the voice service from working correctly.
You don’t have coverage
This, in general, is usually the most difficult and, at the same time, the one that is easiest to fix or solve for our calls from the mobile. Thus, this is easy to check, so it is simply enough to check if the “signal bars” appear at the top of the device screen, indicating that there is coverage in the area.
Even when a coverage signal appears, it may not be real and belongs to a previous mobile record, so you should activate and deactivate the airplane mode (which we will mention below) for a few seconds, so that the mobile becomes to register (connect to the network), and then try making the call again.
Check that the airplane mode of your mobile is not activated
Airplane mode is a setting that allows mobile devices to disconnect from all wireless connections. This means that when a mobile is in this state, WiFi networks, the connection with 2G, 3G or 4G mobile networks and also Bluetooth are deactivated .
This means that, on many occasions, we do not realize that we have deactivated it (or that we have activated it inadvertently), causing our mobile to prevent us from making calls using this function. Thus, you probably do not have that mobile network and WiFi because it has been misconfigured in your mobile settings. The process is very simple; just go to Settings > Select Airplane mode and leave it off.
Has a contact blocked you?
If you cannot make calls to a contact from your mobile, it may happen, in very specific cases, that what happens is that the contact we wanted to reach has blocked us. To see if this is the case, we can check it by calling him from our phone. If it does not catch it, one of the following causes may occur:
- The call stops ringing after one tone and is immediately forwarded to voicemail. This does not automatically imply that you have been blocked, it may be that the call is cut off or that it is turned off.
- If the call rings with a tone of five times or more , here you can start to suspect.
Call forwarding active
Although the Internet has become indispensable , it still does not replace calls using telephone lines and mobiles. This traditional method still offers many advantages and facilities that you cannot take advantage of through the Internet.
Call forwarding, for example, allows you to transfer a call to another number so you can stay in touch even when you don’t have access to the phone you’re called on or to keep your number protected. For this reason, sometimes we may have active call forwarding, something that can happen to us on a regular basis when we change from professional to personal mobile and forget to deactivate forwarding, so it may be a reason why we do not receive calls on our mobile. when being active.
