What Does Cancelled Call On iPhone Means?

Cancelled Call On iPhone? When It Happens?

Basically, a cancelled call happens when you call someone and before they can receive it, you decides to just hang it up. In this particular instance it was your decision which was to cut the call, so it is because of you that your call was cancelled.

However, not always it would be because of you, sometimes the reason a call is getting cancelled is because of the network disruptions. When the cell tower is busy and it’s handling load more than it could it is common for your call to fail even after connecting to the receiver’s end (meaning even after you would’ve heard 2 or 3 rings).

Does Cancelled Call Mean Call Was Declined

Now this is a million dollar question, because quite often the reason for arguments are made on this:

“You declined my call! I was trying to reach you all day!”

– Someone’s wife

Well, this is what your wife (if it was your wife who said it) should know that a ‘Cancelled Call’ doesn’t mean that you are ignoring her. Because a decline call is specifically highlighted by your iPhone. If her calls are getting cancelled then it just means either she is hanging up call without knowing or there was major network issue that day.

Although, a cancelled call will show up on the other person call, but not as cancelled call but the missed call. So, if she was yelling at you then you are fault too, you would’ve seen thousand missed calls from her and you didn’t care to reply back (shame on you).

What Is Difference Of Cancelled Calls & Call Failed?

If you recall I mentioned in start that sometimes the reason call is getting cancelled is because of network disruption. Well, if you go back and notice I didn’t say network failure because that is reserved for the ‘Call Failed.’

When you are trying to call someone when there is literally no network connection or there is SIM or eSIM issue on your iPhone or by happenstance you happened to be blocked by this person then your call will get failed and iPhone might even ask you to try again.

“Every Call From My iPhone Is Getting Cancelled?”

If you happen to be someone who’s calls are getting frequently cancelled on your iPhone then there might be some other issues. For instance as I mentioned above many times the reason for a call getting cancelled is SIM card issue. So, just like this, there are also other reasons which could play the factor here

No Network

This reason is totally your career’s problem. Consider this, you are using the Straight Talk on your iPhone and now you are somewhere far from home but there is weak Straight Talk connection there. Now when you will call someone your call will most likely get cancelled every time.

Software Issue

There is a reason Apple pushes out the iOS updates on all of it’s smartphones at the same time. They want to test the water with different devices and get the feedback at the same time so they could fix the issue quickly. Therefore, if your iPhone is suffering from this cancelled call problem then we will suggest that you try to check for updates. Many times this will result in a quick fix.

Airplane Mode

Airplane Mode is a perfect battery conservation tactic. Even if they are made for whole different reason (yes this is clear shade to you Fitbit, you lazy hogs). Either way if you happen to use Airplane Mode frequently and your call on iPhone is getting cancelled then perhaps it could be the reason. Although, iPhones tell you before dialing when Airplane Mode is on, but in case you missed it then you should know that it is time to turn it off.

Fault Hardware Component

Now this is a serious problem, because if it is the reason for your calls getting cancelled. Or you not being able to hear or say anything on iPhone than you will have to contact the Apple Support. Although, if you happen to have Apple Care then we’d suggest to put it to right use and get your iPhone fixed.

While we’ve already discussed some of the solutions above to fix the cancelled calls problem on your iPhone. There are still some things you should know and try to do if you find yourself under this situation:

• Update your iPhone.
• Remove and insert your SIM card into the iPhone.
• Make sure your iPhone is charged.
• Restart the iPhone if the issue keep persisting.
• Go somewhere where you know the connection will be strong.

If you suspect the reason your call is getting cancelled is because the other person has blocked you then we’d suggest to call them or text them from different numbers. If they would’ve blocked you your text will also not reach them. Another reason you might not be able to talk about is that someone might have their phone dead or turned off. So, keep the mind open and iPhone connected.
