  If your Motorola Cell Phone can't make calls, consider the following: Ensure the antenna is fully extended and rotated, and you have a clear view of the sky. Verify the number is entered in international format. Check the signal strength; if weak, move to an open space or closer to a window. Review Network Selection settings and your operator coverage map. If 'Restricted' is displayed, check Call Barring. Also, check if a new SIM card has been inserted and if any new restrictions have been imposed.
