There are now patches to apply if you don’t have any problems making calls on an AT&T iPhone 18 Pro Max<\/a>. If you do, you need to get your phone replaced. <\/p>\n

Since launch, iPhone 18 Pro Max models have been dropping off the AT&T network. In some cases, never to return. <\/p>\n

After an OS update earlier in the week, and a carrier settings update on Friday, the problem may no longer manifest for those who haven’t seen it. But, that doesn’t help if your iPhone<\/a> has issues already. <\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> to our friends over at 9to5Mac<\/em> and other venues, Apple has given instructions on what to do, and where to do it. <\/p>\n

“We have identified an issue affecting a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network that may cause a device to lose service and be unable to make calls. We released iOS 27<\/a>.0.1 earlier this week and strongly encourage all iPhone 18 Pro Max users to update now, and are also issuing a carrier settings update today. These updates together are meant to help prevent this issue from occurring.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, Apple also says that already-impacted devices need to be replaced. The best way to do this is at an Apple Store, but some AT&T corporate stores may have stock for replacement as well. <\/p>\n

AT&T says the carrier settings update will auto-populate in the next two weeks. However, we don’t recommend waiting. <\/p>\n

How to force a carrier settings update<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Open Settings<\/li>\n
  2. Tap General<\/li>\n
  3. Tap About<\/li>\n
  4. Wait a few seconds, network speed depending<\/li>\n
  5. When the screen says that “new settings requested for your device have been installed,” you’re done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Neither the carrier settings update nor the iOS 27.0.1 update will fix a device that’s had the problem already. <\/p>\n

    If you are affected by the iPhone 18 Pro Max call problem, or any other issue on AT&T, be certain to contact support for both the carrier and Apple. AT&T has a device help center<\/a>, and Apple has a general support page<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
