[Resolved] iPhone Can't Make International Calls?

I bought an iphone from an ebay seller selling unlocked iphones for cheap. The phone is unable to make international calls for some reason. Have I been duped? Should I ask for a refund? Thanks.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. First one was the case. Feel like idiot. 1 quick google search and realised had to use + sign at the start of number. +011 instead of 0011 like on android.

    Tried + instead of 00?

    The phone is unable to make international calls

    Can that even a phone as opposed to carrier issue? There are settings that let you basically bar international calling, but it's all tied to the carrier/account I thought. See if you can change those settings - I've no idea where they are in iOS though.

  • Could you make international calls on your current plan with the previous phone?

    That's a restriction on older iPhones, need to update to a newer iPhone to enable it

    Why don’t you just take it to an Apple store?

    • Yep,too simple,but too hard for some :)

  • I can provide a large list of what iphones can't do

      Like get ads on them

      • Negative votes from Android users who are facing cognitive dissonance :-p

    • Take viruses? Popups? Malware? Pls do tell.

  • Who's the service provider?
    What brand iphone?
    where does it say cant connect on the phone or recorded call from carrier?
    When someone calls you from overseas does it ring?
    why don't you check web account or app settings? I know with Aldi you can check or uncheck int call ban.
    How much money is in the account might be blocking the call if you don't have enough I think mine needs min $10

    • What brand iphone?

      …did you mean model?

  • Did you try updating the carrier settings?
