Fix: Samsung S22, S22 Plus Can’t Make or Receive Any Calls

Fix 2: Check Network Strength

Most of the time, the call fails due to a poor network strength on your phone. If so, move to a place where the device gets a strong network signal and place the call. If you are not getting a solid network signal on your phone, use Wi-Fi calling to route calls through Wi-Fi.

Fix 3: Disable Do Not Disturb (DND) / Airplane Mode

It’s possible that you or someone who uses your phone might have accidentally turned on the Airplane mode or the Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. Enabling the Airplane mode does not allow the phone to use any SIM-related features such as calling and messaging. And the DND feature turns off all the notifications and sound alerts. You don’t get a notification for an incoming call unless you’ve set the number as an exception.

Here’s how to disable the Airplane mode on your Samsung Galaxy phone:

• Open the Settings app.
• Go to Connections.
• Tap on the toggle next to the Airplane mode (if it’s already enabled).
• Reboot your phone.

Similarly, You can also disable the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature from the Settings app.

Fix 4: Reset Network Settings

Resetting the network setting could solve the issue of not being able to make or receive any calls on Samsung Galaxy S22 or S22 Plus. It will reset all the current Wi-Fi, Mobile data, and Bluetooth settings. You will lose access to saved Wi-Fi network, their passwords, and paired Bluetooth devices. Here’s how to reset network settings:

• Open the Settings app.
• Navigate to General Management.
• Tap on the Reset button.
• Select Reset network settings.
• Tap on Reset settings.
• Enter pin/password/pattern, if required.

Fix 5: Reinsert Sim Cards

Removing and reinserting the SIM card is a general fix applied when facing issues with network coverage and incoming/outgoing calls. You can also consider cleaning the SIM and sim tray before reinserting it into the phone.

• Turn off your Samsung Galaxy phone
• Open the SIM tray using a SIM ejector tool
• Take out the SIM card, clean it, and put it back on the tray
• Gently push the SIM tray
• Restart your phone

Fix 6: Clear Phone’s App Cache

• Open the Settings app
• Go to Apps
• Tap on Phone
• Now, tap on Storage
• Click on Clear cache

Fix 7: Reset Your Phone

If none of the above-specified methods worked out for you, resetting the phone is strongly recommended as it also removes all third-party apps, which could be causing the call to fail. It will remove data from your phone. Therefore, we recommend you to take a backup of your phone before going ahead with this fix.

Before resetting your phone, make sure it has at least 50% battery left, as the process sometimes takes longer than expected.

• Tap on the Continue button
