Phone takes forever to make calls

[Goldinboy17]

I'm having an issue with my phone and I'm not sure if it's normal. Whenever I make a call it takes about 20 to 30 seconds to actually start ringing after initiating the call. I know 30 seconds might not seem like much but believe me it is. I hate waiting for my phone to start ringing. Abhor know how to fix this? Thanks.

Probably your carriers fault, try your sim in a different phone.

Yes, this is not the iPhone's fault. I would contact your carrier and ask them. You could talk to a Apple Genius and they might have some better educated ideas. But I wouldn't blame the phone.

I have this happen sometimes, especially when I call someone on another network - I don't know if it's something on the backend that has to negotiate and connect, but it certainly is hit-and-miss, and not my phone.

Mine does this as well and I usually just blamed it on bad service at the time of the call. I've been running causeless for a while, and it seems to do it when I'm in poor service and might be close to touching "the spot".

AFAIK some other phones on the market start the "ringing" sound before they're actually calling the other side.

Thanks for the help but I think it may be the phone. My sister and I both have iPhones and live in the same city. I know AT&T isn't the best in the San Francisco area but she doesn't have this issue. Anyone else have an idea?

You could have it looked at, but unless it's happening every single time for you and every single time it's not for her, I'd put money on tower saturation.
