T-Mobile sabotaging old phones?
Sorry for the click-baity post title, but it's quite a serious question. I have been having on-going issues since last year now, specifically curiously since the last android update I received via T...
I found doing the opposite worked for me. I found I can make a phone call if I use 2G only. I switch back to LTE/3G/2G for data.
I'm still going to try a new SIM card just to find out if it is the SIM card before I switch to Verizon and buy a new phone. I was considering Verizon anyway because they have a better deal on hotspot and have more rural coverage.
I've concluded it isn't the tower because WIFI calling does the same thing. It looks like they are sabotaging the data at the switch office. Also, it isn't the microphone because bluetooth headphones do the same thing for phone calls.
It looks like 4G sabotage, but it could be other things related to phone hardware and software, and it just happens it also happened to my girlfriend's phone too at the same time. It could be an isolated mistake.
