Is there something wrong with Verizon's signal? My phone will allow data but will not let me make cals or send text messages?

Which phone do you have?

[DougDoug]

Voice and texts run over the 1x system.  Is your phone possibly locked to a specific technology?

Could be an outage

[feekyle]

Not phone related...it is both of our different cell phones on the same plan

[feekyle]

No we have had both of our phones for several months and have not recently changed anything ( Bionic and Galaxy nexus)

What happens if you dial manually? 

I had had Google Contacts set up for years using the +18005551212 format.  Suddenly, in the middle of the day, I could make no calls or send texts using shortcuts or contacts.  I finally determined the + sign was causing my S3 to not dial out.  I modified all of my contacts to remove the + sign and everything is fine.  Took me awhile to figure out, since it was so random and it happened in the middle of the day.
