Strange! After 1.1.1, I can't make outgoing calls

[Wintrmte]

Very strange error here.. After upgrading to the 1.1.1 update, I can no longer make outgoing calls. The phone says it is calling the person, but eventually times out and says "Call Failed."

I can receive calls OK, just can't make them.

Anyone else run into this issue?

Are you seeing service bars?

Does EDGE work?

Can you call your voicemail box?

Ok -- edge does work, I can call my voice mail box, but any other phone number that I try to dial ends up in a Call Failed.

I'll try calling AT&T and see what they say.

crap, i'm having the same problem too.

i made a few calls after i upgraded though, so maybe 1.1.1 isn't the issue here?

I had an issue earlier today where I got an incoming call but then couldn't hang up. Everything else worked but it continued to say call in progress yet i couldn't do anything on the phone screen.

Finally power off and back on fixed it.

Yeah -- I am on the phone with AT&T right now.. They had me turn it off, then back on, and it's still not making outbound calls.

I'm being transferred to their technical support department.. Will let you all know what the outcome is.

This becoming common? was just about to update my iphone...

i was able to call 611 on it, but that doens't really help, does it?

i'm calling customer support too.

*edit*
while holding, i shut the iphone off and let it sit for a few minutes. after i powered it up again, it seems to be able to make outgoing calls.

Ok, got off the phone with technical support. They had me do a hard reset of the phone, and it appears to be working now (I have to resync all of my iTunes stuff, but that's ok).

Anyway, FYI.

After reading this thread, I got scared because I just got my iPhone yesterday and hadn't tried making an outgoing call after upgrading to 1.1.1.

When I try to call from my house, it doesn't work because there's no reception there, but I just tried a call from a spot of reception and it worked perfectly. I do have a problem sending out emails from the iPhone's mail program though. I can recieve mail, but I can't send it.
