C3-01 Losing Phone Service

This phone is on the Virgin network and was supplied by Virgin. The phone keeps losing it's phone connection and the only way I find out is when I try to make a call or get landlines calls from people telling me they can't reach my mobile again!! The strange thing is I still have full signal strength according to the bars on the phone just no connection.
Having spoken to Virgin they told me to set the "Service Provider" provider option to manual and select virgin. This I did but I still have the problem but can regain connection if I re-scan providers and re-select virgin.
Speaking to Virgin again they are now telling me to turn off 3g and run in 2g mode. Firstly this suggests they know they have an issue, secondly why the hell should I! I got a 3g phone because I wanted 3g.
Has anyone seen this sort of problem before?
Thanks

Factory settings just do the trick. Hope there wont be more bugs...

  • Re: Losing NT Services (rather how to shutdown idleftexecs)

    Hi,
    Hope I am not adding to the confusion.
    If unused ftexecs is the problem, look at technote no. 11435 - "Sample code
    to automate shutting down idle FTEXEC interpreters" .
    You can alsomanually kill them (rather shut them down) from EConsole.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi-
    I don't know if this will shed any light on your problem, but I can relate
    to you one circumstance that we had on our server in the development
    environment. When you have a process such as a service object that crashes,
    it will sometimes leave an ftexec hanging. Each of these "dead" ftexec's
    seem to tie up a certain amount of memory and will not let go. If something
    like that was going on and went unchecked, I could well imagine that it
    would eventually bring NT to its knees.
    If you are running the forte environment as an NT service, you can see this
    by running the task manager. (ctrl+alt+delete, then click the task manager
    button, then select the processes tab.) If you see a lot of ftexec's
    listed, you may have something similar occurring. Even though the Task
    Manager may report little or no memory allocated to them, somehow it is tied
    up somewhere. For grins, try this: Bring up the task manager, and then
    stop the Forte environment. Watch what happens to your memory utilization
    as each of the dead processes goes away.
    Unfortunately, if this is your problem, I do not have a solution for you,
    but maybe someone else does. This was one of those things that I made a
    mental note that I need to figure out someday, but it was not causing us a
    serious problem, so the resolution was not a high priority. We were
    training several new developers at the time, and they were fairly green at
    both Forte and SQL, so I think they had a lot of dbsession objects crashing.
    In our case, it was sufficient to restart the Forte environment if
    performance started to degrade. And as the developers got better at SQL and
    at catching exceptions, we had fewer instances of dead objects to deal with.
    However, if anyone knows how to resolve or prevent this problem, I would
    certainly be interested in hearing the solution.

    Subject: Losing NT Services
    We are hoping that someone have ran into the same problem and can shed some
    light on any work around to resolve it. The problem that we are
    encountering is that the NT Server's performance degrade to a point where
    we physically can't sign on to the box itself. When someone sits at the
    terminal and tries to sign on, the person would see a blue screen and
    that's it. The only thing that is running on that box is Forte' runtime,
    pcAnyWhere, and SQL Server. Once the NT server get to this point, all we
    can do is reboot the box. The key indicator that NT is dying is our
    application will start to malfunction and various files transfer would fail.
    Does anyone have an application running with NT, if you do we would love to
    have a conversation concerning this situation. We would appreciate any
    advice on this matter.

  • HT4623 Constantly losing cellular service!

    Using Iphone 5C and constantly losing cellular service.  Just had new sim card installed this morning and still having issues.  Anyone else experiencing this?  Phone is brand new.

    Hello jdoersom,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5c, and thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with cellular service.  You have already taken some good troubleshooting steps to address the issue, and I recommend continuing with the following steps (you can skip any steps you have already taken):
    Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.

  • Phone Service disconnected over VPN

    Hello,
    I'm using Version 9.2.1 (147214) of Jabber for OS X and I'm using a VPN to connect to my work network with AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
    My issue is that Phone Services are disconnected while the Voicemail and Meeting Accounts are functioning as expected.
    My server settings are configured automatically, and I'm using the same saved credentials that work when I'm at the office.
    Any ideas?
    - Ken

    This issue is fixed.
    Once I changed the automatic configuration of the CCMCIP from an IP address to the hostname that my CUCM uses, my phone service registered across the VPN.

  • No phone service

     I am a customer who receives your internet for 34.99 and lifeline landline service. 
     I chose lifeline service for the landline rather than my lifeline cell as I was told I can only have 1 according to the Govt.regulations. I was also told I had to have the land line to keep your internet on.  So I chose to have the landline than the safe link govt. issued cell phone.
    Did you know your competitors do not need a land line to access the internet so I’m wondering if this is true or needed.
    Now here is my frustrating issue,for a while I have been having very bad interrupted internet load and speed for the last few months.  Been told to just shut off and on and I had someone come to my house on one occasion last month who left for 3 hours and I had to call Verizon to find the worker and dispatch. They located him and her so I  got a call back from them and  finally was told to just plug my internet back on, and that was it. It worked for a little while. Then off and on again.
     But since the 14th of July to my knowledge I have had no PHONE service now. NONE. No One can reach me either.  I honestly find this unnaceptable, Verizon.  I pay my bills on time and would like to just get answers and some service . I have been patient up to this point . I am also a customer who does not mind to pay more if it mean more better service.
    I have made numerous calls ,been disconnected after long wait times,  bounced from one person to another ,a number of times people came to my house and my building to fix the problem.
    On a number of times I have dealt with inconsistencies like dates made when they actually come a day EARLY when I am not there. I also have made appointments and also been told they don’t need to come to my house anymore so when I am not there they come another day and say an excuse that I wasn’t home when I was told I didn’t need to be since the issue is not in my house and told it is supposedly in 1 of the boxes downstairs.
      I have had other situations where someone comes out to the building downstairs a number of times and says they fixed it and I go home to make a call and the phone goes dead and the problem starts all over again.
    The last time someone came out Tuesday the 29th of July (and I was sure to be home that Monday also in case they came a day before as they are known to do so) ; they told me that no none is downstairs to open the door to another box my building super seems to be in charge of and needs a key.
     Shouldn’t Verizon keep such keys ???
     Now I nor anyone can reach the building super so that leaves me still with no service as a women approaching elderly age of 60 years.I have no home phone in case of emergencies and my internet wifi not working properly and overages on my cell phone piling up  when I use the internet  on my cell and they are restricting data due to over the limit. What am I to do now with you guys??
    I WAS told by your company I need this phone line to keep my( slow) internet on.  I get only2 mbps in my area and still cant get Fios in my building where there are people in my block who I was told have already .
    I have spoken to your competitor Time Warner and they say they don’t even need to get in a box and they do everything through a modem if this is true I might need to go to another company.
    I feel like Verizon is like the old ages.Why? Is there not anything your company can do to progress this situation at this point? I thought you guys where the leading company. I will try other means of getting this complaint out if you guys do not handle this or if I am contacting the wrong dept here and or do not get a reply ( not an automated or outourced either please.)
    Please direct me to who can as I will keep looking.  The better buisness bureau fcc news can be somewhere to go if you guys cant honestly help me in which i really hope you can. I also know that if it was you guys going through all this runaround you would be just as frustrated as i am .
    I am a dissapointed customer .

  • Jabber for iPhone & iPad too long to connect to "Phone Services"

    Hello,
    Has anybody ever experienced delay issues with Jabber for iPhone and/or iPad to connect to "Phone Services"?
    In my case, the service does connect but it can take about 1 minute. Some times it can be faster but some others it can take a while to make the service available.
    Regards,

    You've hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, though to me a month (and then another) to wait for a new line is nothing - I am on my fifth order with BT. They lost the first three, then tried charging me an arm and a leg in excess charges for the fourth. I am trying again, this time with a total package to see if they are a bit more useful when they actually know I'm not going to switch to another provider - fingers crossed.
    If they do come back with massive excess charges again though this time I've done my homework. I now know the measurements between my property and the pole as well as the BT price list they use to calculate the charges. I've also worked out a cheaper route than the one they were suggesting - Ofcom say they should offer the cheapest route and the opportunity for the customer to do some of their own work but with me they didn't do either. They also didn't consider that we don't have reliable mobile signal here. They also didn't provide me with any details of how they'd come to that figure and just demanded it. I've had lots of advice from DEFRA, the Department for Business, Innopvation and Skills, Ofcom and ex-Openreach planners and should be able to get a line under the USO. I have a horrible feeling that I've done all this homework now though and they'll just come out and do it without demanding the excess, but if they do I am at least ready this time.

  • Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

    Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
    Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
    I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
    I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
    The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out. 

        Hello KeyGroupGJ!
    Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you. I'll be happy to assist you!

  • No phone service for entire holiday weekend for senior citizen

    Phone service went out over 4th of July weekend and finally partial service on Sunday and better service on Monday, however there is static noise in the line and verizon acts like that is all right.  There are bushes in alley that have grown so large that they are pulling wires down from their sheer size. 20 years ago the alley was maintained and kept clear, times change and now I can't remember the last time the alley was cleared...if verizon don't do anything about this stretch of wires between the 2300 block of Wilder/Gerritt Streets (South Philly) they will when they fall. Just a heads up to future problems.

  • No phone service, now bogus email from Verizon

    We haven't had phone service for over a week and now received a bogus email that would like me to believe it is from Verizon saying there was a problem processing my payment.  Does Verizon want to know about this email and how would I contact them regarding it? It is very hard to find information on website other than very general information.  Thanks

  • If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it !

    If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T.  When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

    If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
    If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

  • If phone service is disconnected can the iphone still connect to internet through wifi?

    If I close my phone account with a particular phone service because I no longer need my personal phone, will my Iphone still work like an ipod in that it can still get to the internet through WIFI?  Or general what functions will the piece of equipment still have?  For example, will apps still work?

    Hey there
    you do not net a sim card to use the iphone all you need the sim for is for activation.
    I must state you do not need a sim to use your wifi

  • Jabber 9.5 phone service not registering over VPN

    TCT devices register fine over Any Connect VPN until I upgraded to 9.5!
    After upgrade IM/P and Voice Mail services connect successfully over VPN but phone service indicates it fails to get configuration from server.
    Everything works locally.  Any ideas what might have changed with 9.5 release that would impact ASA config!

    We've come across this issue also except ours is different we can't even login. Just says username or password is invalid.
    Works ok on corporate wifi
    Does not work on anyconnect over internet wifi.
    Does not work on anyconnect over 3G cellular data network.
    I can see it connects to the TFTP server pulls the XML files down connects to each CUP server in HA but both return wrong username and password.

  • Phone Service

    My in-laws are moving from the eastern part of Virginia up to the northern part of Virginia. They are currently renting a house. Now, is there a way of forwarding there calls to their cell phones and having the service in the rental house turned off? They have had this number for over 30 years, bussiness calls, family, and of course those sale calls (just joking) they need to have access to. They are willing to contnue paying for phone service so they can forward all calls, but I think it is not a good idea to leave the service on in a rental house if you are not living in it. Please help me in order to help them.

    Solved!

    Welcome to the forums.  You're talking to other customers here.  If you want a response from Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
    I've never heard of any offering from Verizon that allows you to keep a phone number active without an associated phone line.  I sincerely doubt they can do this for you.  If they can, it's most likely a very costly business service.
    A better option is to port the phone number to a VoIP service such as Vonage or OOMA.  With these services, you install a device that connects to your broadband Internet and then plug your phone(s) into it.  Regardless of where it's installed it will use the same phone number.  This will give you a very similar experience as a regular phone line.  Just pick up a phone and call.  Some VoIP providers also allow app based calling so you can access your phone number while on the move.  There are monthly fees with these providers that vary with the subscribed services. 
    Another option is Google Voice.  They will charge you a fee to port the number.  No equipment is associated with Google Voice; it is purely network (cloud) based.  You setup Google Voice to forward incoming calls to any real phone you want.  It could be land line, cell phone or another VoIP provider.  Outgoing calls can be placed through an app on a smartphone, tablet or computer.  It's a different experience than a traditional phone line.  There is no monthly fee.
    If you do decide to port the number, under no circumstances should you place any service orders with Verizon.  This includes a cancellation order.  Any pending orders will delay or prevent the number port.  Porting can take several weeks, so it is best to get started on it well in advance of your plans to vacate the old property.  I'd say two months to be safe.
    Good Luck.

  • Phone service in multiple states

    I am setting up 2 branch offices in another state.  Each office is relatively small, with about 10 users in each.  I would like to know the best way to provide phone service to these users.  Each site has a VPN back to us for their data but are on their own phone system.  We would like to deploy Cisco phones to these offices that we can manage.  We use Cisco Call Manager 8.6 at our HQ.  My concerns are how to handle local calls and 911 emergency services.  Currently we have several PRIs through AT&T.  Can AT&T read the calling party number and route the call to the appropriate PSAP regardless of which state the call originates from or what path it took to get to the PSTN?  Same thing with local calls.  Will it still be a local call if it has to go through another state before it reaches the PSTN?  I've considered setting up Call Manager Express at these sites to get around these issues and I would appreciate any hardware recommendations for these sites.   

    As far as i know PRIs will not be able to route calls based on ANI and route it to the PSAP but I *think* there is a SIP service that ATT provides that does this. Else you might have to look at putting a small router with 1 or 2 analog lines just for 911 (and SRST if needed). A 2901V/K9 bundle with FXO ports should help you with this.
