I seem to have a serious issue with my Apple IPhone SE. when I try to call someone a voice response in Spanish comes on. Tried to look the problem up online, and I can't find a way to correct this. I can call some people on my contact list with no problem, but other phones I often contact have the issue. Is there a inexpensive iPhone service place in Kingwood?

I would call the Apple Store or call your phone carrier. Most carriers have local storefronts.

Have you tried shutting it down, then reboot? Everything that runs on electricity needs a good reboot LOL

When I googled your problem, this is what I got.

If you hear a Spanish voice response only when calling specific people on your iPhone SE (while other calls work fine in English), the issue is usually related to the carrier's automated system, the recipient's voicemail or carrier routing, or Live Translation / Announce Calls settings rather than a broken phone.

Why This Happens

• Carrier / Voicemail Language Settings: If you call someone and their carrier or automated network routes the call (or hits a bilingual/Spanish voicemail or network prompt), you will hear a Spanish response from their end or network-not your phone.
• Announce Calls or Speech Voices: If your iPhone is actively announcing caller IDs or using a stuck text-to-speech voice setting, check Settings > Phone > Announce Calls or Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices.
• Live Translation Feature: If you are running a newer iOS version and accidentally triggered real-time translation features during a call, it can translate audio.

How to Troubleshoot & Fix It

1. Check Announce Calls:
• Go to Settings > Phone > Announce Calls and set it to Never to see if the voice stops.
2. Verify Language & Voice Settings:
• Go to Settings > General > Language & Region to ensure English is your primary system language.
• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices and make sure your English voice is properly downloaded and selected.
3. Test Specific Numbers:
• Since you mentioned it only happens when calling certain numbers, ask those specific contacts what carrier they use or if their mobile provider/voicemail greeting has a Spanish language option active on their account.

I would try this, before going to the Woodlands to the Apple Store; it may work. Thanks for posting this.
