Contacting my son

How do I fix it to where I can text and call my son? He can receive calls and text from other numbers. I can call and text other numbers. He can call and text me but when I go to respond, my messages and phone calls never go through, neither one of us has the other blocked. What do I need to do/fix to fix this.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Communication Limits Not Working to Block Texts or Calls at Downtime I have communication limits set to only allow my son to comminicate with his father and I during downtime (Specific Contact). Despite this he is able to text with any and all of his contacts during Downtime for an unlimited amount of time. I have also set the time limit for texting to one minute. None the less, he is able to text as much as he wants. I have deleted and re-added the time limit. I have adjusted the hours of downtime. I have the device set to block at downtime. We are both running ISO 18.1.1 Nothing has fixed this problem.

Downtime communication My child’s phone won’t allow calls or texts to be made or recieved on downtime even though it’s set for certain people to be able to be contacted. In an emergency over downtime he cannot use his phone. How do I fix this?

Can't make cellular calls from iPhone 8 to iPhone XR Hi, So my brother blocked me for a period of time. I went into his phone and unblocked me, but I still can’t call him. He isn’t on do not disturb or anything. When I call him, it doesn’t even ring! It goes straight to voicemail. He has an iPhone XR with iOS 18.2 and I have an iPhone 8 with iOS 16.7.10. I can iMessage and FaceTime, but not cellular call. I can cellular call my mum with a android. Thanks, all help is appreciated! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Since calls and texts are cellular features, one or both of you should contact your respective cellular carriers to further diagnose the issue.
