Since the system update on Wednesday, I can no longer hear phone calls either made by myself or to me. This includes the dial tone. All other sounds are still working including ringtone, media etc. 

This happened and after I restarted my phone, it worked once but having just gone to make a phone call again it's not working. I'm not going to keep restarting my phone every time I make a call. 

Has this happened to anyone else?

This is happening to me on T-Mobile.  Does anyone know if this is just T-Mobile or for all carriers?  Also, this started happening on LTE for me as well as 5G.

This is silly now. I'm with BT/EE and they're replacing my phone as I cannot hear all incoming calls. This is a business phone so I could be losing work on a daily basis. However, I've put my sim card back into my S8, it's done updates and now I'm having the issues with this phone too

Same issues as others are reporting.  After the last update in May 2021.  Multiple times I have had to restart my phone to be able to either hear the caller or for the person I have called to hear me.  Another odd issue which happened once was while in my car with the phone connected via bluetooth....my car's interface kept saying my phone was dialing out....even though the phone did not appear to be making a call.  Very strange.

Just exchanged my earlier S9 which was working all fine with S21 - and got into this issue now. I use T-Mobile. I went through below posts and learnt 2 things ...

1. this is T-Mobile network only

2. avoid 5G ... ?

whowww - this is like paying for new problems.

I haven't had my phone a month yet and I'm experiencing the exact same problems.  Outgoing and incoming calls they can't hear me or the call just drops after one ring

I had the S9+.  So far, like you missing my old phone.  I even, briefly, looked at iPhone after I got this phone.
