10 Solutions For A Galaxy S24 That Can’t Receive Calls

A Samsung Galaxy S24 might suddenly stop receiving calls due to a few reasons. One common cause is poor cell reception, which can occur if the device is in an area with weak signal strength.

Other potential issues include a faulty SIM card, problems with the user’s account or carrier, or certain device settings such as Airplane mode or Do Not Disturb mode being enabled.

1. Check Your Cell Coverage and Service Status

You may experience call issues if you’re in an area with poor cell reception or if there is an issue with your account or carrier.

1. Check the network bars on the upper right corner of your screen.

Network glitches on your Samsung phone can prevent calls from coming through.
