iOS 16.6.1 telephone call issues

Hi


After updating my iPhone 11 Pro Max to this weeks urgent update, I have to reboot the phone to make a telephone call. After I reboot, the making calls works for about 5 minutes, then nothing happens when I dial( it just gets stuck).

internet/Data seems fine, it's just old school telephone calls.


Any ideas? Anyone else see this behavior?


Thanks in advance.

What Call? On an iPhone, you can make and receive various types of calls. Here are the different types:


  1. These are standard voice calls made over the cellular network. They utilize your carrier's voice network to connect you with other phone numbers. Allow phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
  2. FaceTime Audio allows you to make voice calls over Wi-Fi or cellular data using your internet connection. It provides higher audio quality compared to traditional cellular calls.
  3. FaceTime Video enables you to have video calls with other FaceTime users. It uses the front or rear camera on your iPhone to transmit live video during the call. Use FaceTime with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
  4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls use internet connectivity to make phone calls. Apps like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and Google Hangouts utilize this technology, allowing you to make voice and video calls over the Internet.
  5. Some carriers support Wi-Fi calling, which allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of relying solely on cellular coverage. This can be useful in areas with weak cellular reception. Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support (IN)
  6. The App Store offers numerous calling apps that utilize different technologies. These apps can provide additional features and options for making calls, such as international calling, call recording, and more.


It's important to note that the availability of certain call types may depend on your iPhone model, iOS version, and carrier.
