There can be many reasons for your inability to make calls via the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Sometimes you forget that your cellular plan validity is over, and you still try to make a call which is not possible. There is also a high chance that the network coverage in your area is very weak, and it is not possible to make a call. But in some cases, your Pixel 7 device might face software or hardware-level issues preventing it from making calls.
There have been several complaints regarding the same in the Google bug track report and multiple posts on Reddit, where users complain regarding the same calling issue. Google is yet to acknowledge this issue as only a handful of users are facing the issue. Currently, there is no clear indication of what is causing the issue, but here are some troubleshooting steps to fix this on your end.

How to Fix If Pixel 7 / 7 Pro Won’t Make Calls
There are many ways by which you can fix your Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro to start making calls again. You should check the validity of your Sim card if you are still waiting to make a call. Try changing your Sim to a different phone and see if it works. Below are some troubleshooting steps you can take step by step to fix the issue.
Fix 1: Toggle Airplane mode
Airplane mode cuts your phone from the outside world by cutting off all the networks and carrier signals coming to the phone. It will soft reset your network and probably will also fix the calling issue.
- Open your notification panel by swiping down from the top.
- You will see an Airplane sign at the top (if not found, swipe left).


I have the same issue which just started after the last update a few days ago. Here is my scenario:
Zero cell coverage.
Wifi calling enabled and connected to an acceptable WiFi.
Rebooting allows calls for about 3 -5 minutes. If I get a call started it will remain connected. After a 10 min call I usually can not dial out or receive calls again.
Spent an hour on a chat with support and have a work around. Not happy with it but works 100% of the time so far. Turn airplane mode on, then turn on wireless. Now I can make calls again…. Only other option is a quick reboot and make an outgoing call within 5 min or so. Initially I thought it was the Google one VPN as it stops calling after it says connected but pausing the VPN doesn’t resolve the issue.
