Here's the deal:

I have an iPhone 5. I live in a condo.

Up until a few weeks ago, everything was hunky-dory.

Now, I'm getting "Called failed" repeatedly.

According to my testing, the problem is local to this specific part of the building (it spans about a 2000 square-foot area, over about 5 floors).

I'm assuming one of my neighbors has installed something that's fucking with my signal.

I should note that the phone is showing strong reception (up to 5 "bars") and the problem is only affecting voice (not texts, Internet, etc.)

Anyone?

I can't make a call on my cell phone for beans from inside our home. Neither can our neighbors in their home. If we need to make a cell phone call, we have to go outside to do it. And, I live in a big city. . . . . not out in the boondocks. I RARELY ever use my cell phone so it doesn't bother me. Although, I'm sure it can be frustrating for those who do use theirs frequently.

SPRINT... always at work for you!!!

I don't have Sprint. I'm in Canada and have Rogers.

Make an appointment at your Apple store.

Same problem/situation here but I ONLY use my cell phone, so it's frustrating as all get-out!

Mystery solved: It's the phone.

Probably had to update the cell phone tower codes.

As of last night, problem's still happening. I'm assuming the phone'll have to be replaced.

What's "OTASP"?

Telus jargon. It is an update you have to do so your phone can find the tower sites.

Yeah, I did that, thanks.

The model of phone is known for dropping calls, or is yours just a lemon?

I've had the phone for almost a year and everything was fine until a few weeks ago. I have dropped it on the ground, once or twice. Maybe it suffered some damage.

Weirdly enough, the problem seems to have righted itself. The only thing I can recall changing was deleting about 70 voice memos from an app called SpeakEasy.
