Missing "call" and "video" options on contacts via iMessage

I have been experiencing an odd situation. I have contacts in my iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 15.6.1) that are fully complete with phone numbers. If I navigate to the contact by going to Contacts, I can call them and FaceTime them from their contact no problem. But if I go through a SMS/text message in iMessage and click their contact at the top of the screen, the "call" and "video" options are greyed out.

See screenshot.


Most times for my other contacts, it takes a few moments and the options will become available but for some this does not occur even if waiting sufficiently and rebooting the device.


What is happening here?




iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hi Got2bAli,


Let's see if restarting and checking for iOS updates corrects this:


Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.
