Why won't my iPhone 5 call out?

I have an iPhone 5c, and use Verizon. My phone was fine until just a few days ago. Unlike most problems I've heard about, my phone won't even say "Call Ended" or call in the first place. If I go to the dial pad, I can type in a number but when i hit the green call button, nothing happens. It won't freeze, it won't call, it won't anything. If I go to my contacts, if i hit the blue phone icon next to the name, it won't do anything either. However, in the time it has been acting up, I have received calls, and can use my cellular data, Wi-Fi, and as far as I can figure, everything looks fine. I have attempted calling different people, but the same thing happens. Would it happen to be an ios8 glitch? There are many issues being reported, so could this be one?

Try holding down the Power Button and the Home Button until the Apple Logo appears.

I'm having this problem too. Sorry just had to share in frustration

If this started AFTER you upgraded to iOS 8, I would say that this is an iOS8 Glitch for you. I would call Apple and have them trouble shoot the issue and give you options to fix it.

  • Will it show up as a missed call if i call someone by accident for half a ring? So I accidentally called my ex on his iphone, but I quickly realized my mistake and hung up after a half ring. Like you know how when you're calling someone it rings, I hung up after the first riiiing. My question is, will it show up on his phone as a missed call? I tested it out on 2 friends. One iphone 5 and iphone 4. They both told me they didn't get a call. Am I in the clear?
  • Why won't my unlocked iPhone 4 let me call people? I've just unlocked my iPhone as it was on orange, I've put a guff gaff SIM card in n I can text receive calls and go on Internet but when I try calling people it won't let me!
  • IPhone won't call radio Disney? Why? Alright so I don't live in an area where they have radio Disney anymore, so I listen on their iPhone app. My iPhone normally doesn't go through when I try to call. By that, I mean it just keeps ringing and ringing. Currently there's a contest going on and I want to get qualified. But when I try to call in NOW I just get the beeping noise on my phone. Do they have too many people trying to call in or what?
  • IPhone 6s Plus, how do you mute a call while on call? (not how to mute ringer)? I have a new iPhone 6s Plus and need to listen in on conference calls without other people on the call hearing me type in the background or the kids, so how do I Mute the sounds on my end so I can listen in without disturbing the others on the call? My current phone keypad on the iPhone 6s Plus only shows 1-9,0 *, and # buttons.
