iPhone SE (2nd generation) unable to make or receive calls

I have a second generation iPhone SE and sometimes, even with Wi-fi, I am not able to receive or make calls and I have no clue as to why. Please help! Sometimes my phone is only able to receive calls but not make calls so I’m confused. Ive tried clearing the cache on my apps, deleting apps to free up space and even resetting it. Not sure what else would help.

Since it comes and goes, try these in order: 1) Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Network Settings (you'll need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords). 2) Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, and try turning it off and back on. 3) Settings > General > About - if a "Carrier Settings Update" pops up, tap Update. 4) Take the SIM out and put it back in. If it still drops calls, contact your carrier to check the line and SIM.
