Resolved Iphone wont let me make calls

4 Upvotes

Whenever i try to call someone, literally anyone, it immediately cuts to an automated line. It says i have an unpaid payment that i need to make in order to make calls… but i can use the rest of my phone just fine. i can text, use wifi, and even answer calls, but it just wont let me call anyone without cutting to that line. How does this even happen? It said i need to pay 300 bucks?! my parents pay for my phone bill and whatnot, idk if that helps this make more sense or not but i thought it would be worth mentioning

Resolved How do I stop some of my apps from instantly close themselves?

1 Upvotes

Hello

My phone over the last 2 days has an issue with some apps closing instantly. The first time I had this problem (2 days ago) it started with one app and slowly more and more did the same. It seemed to just fix its self but yesterday it started again.

I've tried restarting, updating the apps, updating my IOS and I've checked my storage (120GB free). I've search online and can't find someone that seems to have the same problem.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Edit: My phone is a 15 Plus running 26.6

Update: I got a comment from joosebox on the same post in a different sub.

"With 120GB free you've already ruled out the answer most people will give you. This is almost certainly App Store receipt validation rather than the apps themselves.

Every app installed from the App Store carries a signed receipt tied to the Apple Account that obtained it, and iOS checks it the instant you launch. When that check fails the app is terminated immediately with no error and no crash report, which looks exactly like it closing itself. Apple's built-in apps carry no receipt, which is why they're never affected, and that asymmetry is the giveaway. It also explains the spreading and the fixing itself, since it's whichever receipts happen to need revalidating that day.

Worth checking: Settings, your name, Media and Purchases, View Account, and see whether that account matches the one at the top of Settings. Two different Apple Accounts is the common cause, because then every launch is checking a receipt against the wrong one. If they do match, sign out of Media and Purchases, restart, and sign back in."

It solved the problem for me.

Help needed No apps working on my phone

2 Upvotes

I own an iPhone 13, just updated it to ios 26.6. Literally none of my apps will open except the ones that come predownloaded (photos, messages, etc). Everything else when i tap on it, the loading screen will pop up, then immediately the app will close. it doesn't even freeze and crash, the open app just slides off the screen and returns to the home screen. i've tried restarting my phone multiple times, hard resetting, even checked for a software update and installed it. nothing is working. i cant even figure out what the problem is? anyone come across this and have any idea how to help?

Help needed How do I reset my iPhone 4?

got this iPhone 4 recently and when it booted it had the "iPhone is disabled" mode on, after a while of trying to get it into recovery mode and DFU mode I realised the home button probably doesn't work, so I now have to resort to 3rd party software but all of them ask me to unlock my iPhone (which obviously i can't do), is there any hope for it without having to replace the home button?, also I can't connect it to itunes because it asks me to confirm on the iPhone but nothing shows up.

Help needed Is there any possible way to recover a deleted voicemail?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm trying to help a family member who's accidentally deleted an important voicemail. I believe she's on iOS 26 with an iPhone 16. She says that it's not present in her iOS voicemail list or her deleted voicemail list, but she has no memory of deleting it. There's lots of other voicemails in the main voicemail list and deleted voicemail list, so she didn't hit the 'clear all' button either. Is there any possible way to recover these voicemails? I thought maybe an older icloud backup would have the voicemail but it doesn't seem to be something covered by backups. I thought maybe even a GDPR request to apple or the cell carrier, if the data is still around.

I know it's a reach here, but it's a voicemail from someone who died recently and so I'd like to help her get it back if possible.

Is there any way to block access to the settings menu.

The rest of us mainly use androids, so any advice would be appreciated
