Anyone else have problems receiving phone calls?

My phone is a Chicago area code I received from Sprint in 2000.  When I moved to the NYC area in 2006 I stayed with Sprint.  Then in 2012, I switched to Verizon because I was no longer in a Sprint 4G area and didn't want to pay for 4G if I wasn't getting it.  It is important to note that I NEVER had a problem with Sprint voice.  My number was ported over to Verizon...and that's when the problems began:
1.  I get phone calls (~60% of the time from my Chicago area code) and can't answer them (I see them ringing through but can't pick up).
2.  I get voice mails magically appearing with no notice of a missed call.
3.  I sometimes don't even get voice mails or notices of missed calls (my grandmother thought I was ignoring her!)
The issues happen everywhere - at work, at home, in other areas of the country - it doesn't matter.  Verizon has replaced my phone 3 times, my SIM card 2 or 3 times - it's clearly NOT the phone.  I do NOT want to change my phone number - I move so much it's the only number folks know!
I had a trouble ticket put in with the technical service folks over a month ago...and still no resolution because everyone I speak to over there has a different understanding of what the problem is - and they don't communicate with each other. 
I am incredibly frustrated and angry with my service and am ready to switch back to Sprint...but I don't want to because I'm in love with their data service.
Has anyone else encountered these issues at all?  And if so, what have you had done about it?

Sheritah,
Thank you for reaching out!!!
I've copied your questions into my reply and have answered each question individually.
Have you reached to our technical support team about your concerns with the network ticket?
Yes, I did reach out but was given the blow-off.  I was told they'd reopen the trouble ticket, but I haven't heard from them since, even after emailing the guy who told me I'd be his contact.
What exact issue are you having?
1.  People call me and I can't answer the phone.  I swipe the screen (as is normal) but the call is automatically dropped.
2.  People call me and the phone doesn't ring or show any indication that there is an incoming call - but I get the "missed call" notification after the person has hung up or left a voice mail.
3.  People call me, the phone doesn't ring and there is no "missed call" - but I get I voice mail.
4.  Sometimes voice mails arrive days later.
Where are you located?
I reside in 08872 and work in 08807, but the problem is not limited to these two zip codes and will become incredibly angry if the suggestion is made otherwise...I am a broken record, incredibly frustrated and no one wants to believe what I say as the truth.  The last time I dealt with the guys on the end of the trouble ticket they INSISTED that I only have these problems at home and work...that's just ********. (sorry for the bad language )
Here are some places this has occurred on more than one occasion:
1.  08872 - current home (NJ)
2.  08807 - current work (NJ)
3.  07601 - friend's home (NJ)
4.  07050 - previous home (NJ)
5.  11572 - husband's home (NY)
6.  11422 - husband's work (NY)
7.  60091 - parent's home (IL)
8.  94568 - work trip location (CA)
In terms of frequency, it happens at least once per week.
I never had these problems with Sprint - I was with them for 10 years.  I switch to Verizon because of the great data (and it IS great data) and then suddenly I have all these voice issues.  You should know I am not a technophobe and I certainly know when the volume is up/down or when the phone is powered on/off.  I've been using smartphones for 10 years.
Please help.

  • Does anyone else have problems with the new macbook pro trackpad?

    I exchanged my new macbook pro last week because there was a major trackpad lag. Every time I put it to sleep and woke it up, the trackpad would delay 5 or more seconds. I took it in to the Apple store and they said it could be a software issue and I exchanged it. However, I just opened up this one up from the package today, and there's still a lag. Does anyone else have problems with that? I don't want to exchange it again, so is there something I can do?

    Also, is it mandatory to run software updates when you first turn on your computer?

  • Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?, Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?

    Installed iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac and then all tunes vanished from my iPhone 4.  I hooked the phone to the Mac and Synced them together and everything returned to iPhone.  Next morning the problem was back.  I had to delete iTunes and reinstall an older version from my Time Machine backup.  It now appears to be working.  Has anyone else had problems with this?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
    BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.

    Just a note that I solved this problem eventually -- it was a combination of

  • Does anybody have any problems receiving phone calls or txts or any kind of services on iphone4 with verizon? I get no calls txts or internet connection!! Anyone with same issue??

    I started having problems with my iphone4 since i first got it 2/10/11. Phone calls were automaticlly forwarded to voicemail. Got a replacemnt phone and still same issue. But now I am not receving phone calls txts and have no internet connection!!!! I spoke to Verizon and they opened up a trouble ticket...its been days and havent heard back from them. I used a different verizon phone in the same area where my iphone is not working and that phone worked perfectly fine which means it is not the signal. Anyone having the same problem??? Plz help!!!

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • Has anyone else had problems ending their calls on their iphone 5?

    Has anyone else had a problem ending calls on their iphone 5? It seems to freeze &amp; i have to press the wake &amp; home button a few times to free it!

    Hi Kate,
    I haven't yet been able to replicate your problem. Will you please describe your workflow? Are you simply selecting multiple files from your computer and double clicking to automatically open in Camera RAW?
    Also curious, with all of your images open in the RAW editing window, what happens when you use the arrows near the bottom right? Does your image change?
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • Does anyone else have problems with built in website url links in a PDF not working in iBooks?

    I have several magazine PDF files that have lots of website url links built in to them.
    When I click the links when viewing the PDFs via iBooks they often don't work.
    However, the exact same PDF when viewing/clicking using other PDF apps like GoodReader work perfectly fine.
    Nothing else is different except which app I am using to view the PDFs.
    Anyone?

    It would appear iBook app doesn't support hyperlinks except within a document.

  • Does anyone else have problems with iphone chargers breaking?

    I got my Iphone 5 in feburary. Since then I'm on my fourth charger. This is just insane. I am the proud owner of every generation ipad, 1 macbook, 2 imacs, 3 ipods, 2 apple tv's and obviously iphones. The iphone seems to be the only thing that breaks expect i had to spend $70 replacing the macbook charger once. My question is am I the only one having this problem. I talked to a couple people who had the same issue and even switched phones because of it..
    Today I was out spending another $20 on a cord. When I say break I mean you need to hold the charger cord in a certain angle for it to charge.. Apple needs to address this issue and come up with a new cord design.. My tracphone cords still work from 7 years ago...

    I'm not having problems.  However, if the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) fail to resolve your issue, then you have a hardware problem and you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • Does anyone else have problems with retina screens? My eyes are constantly hurting and my eyesight is getting worse in a short period of time.

    I've been using high quality retina screens for about nine months now and my vision has gone downhill quickly. I got my first ever prescription for eye glasses and my eyes are constantly strained. High resolution screens also cause other problems with my normal work flow as a web designer but that is a whole other topic.

    try turning down the brightness, If i even have it past half way my eyes hurt. maybe it'll help

  • Does anyone else have problems streaming video

    Apple TV. It takes a very long time to stream video content. Is there something I can do to speed up streaming

    As I said, our wifi connection speed tests at 48 mbps (capable of 50 but actually tests at 48) in the room the ATV is in.  We don't have wired connection availabe in that room, but may consider having it installed as part of a remodel.  However, it hardly seems worth a high dollar install for a 100 wifi device that cannot function wirelessly.  In the meantime we will use the phones for the itunes movies we wish to view.  I have been a big apple fan, and have 2 imacs, 2 macbooks, 2 iphones and an ipad.  The ATV has been a disappointment that wouldn't be a big deal (just replace with Roku) if it was not for the movie money waste.  Seems nonsensical I can stream from my phone to the device in the same room over same network, but not use the device directly.  It only gets the spinning wheel of death.

  • Anyone else have problems downloading mavericks

    i've just clicked download and am currently looking at the app store.  i'm on the purchases page and it just keeps flashing on me.  The box to the right flashes eith white with a black outline or completely black (where it should say installed etc).  According to my dock it says that mavericks is downloading.
    i've tried cancelling the download a couple of times but wondered if there was anything else i could do.  if i pause the download then resume it, it carries on flashing at me

    it's stopped flashing at me but now the download bar in the app store is just black and doing nothing.  how long should the download take and why would it do nothing.  and before you ask it isn't paused.
    EDIT: after i posted this i noticed a small green section on the bar on the doc so it appears to be doing something slowly
    EDIT: i thought a direct link to the internet via cable would make it quicker but thats started the flashing again in the app store which stops when i take the cable out

  • Anyone else have problems after QT 7.3 update?  My FCE is dead in the water

    Since updating my QT to 7.3 my FCE will no longer export using QT conversion, nor will it allow clips to be installed into the time line. An "insufficient content for edit" comes up whether I try to install between other clips already in place or when I try to install a clip at the end. My FCE is, once again, dead in the water after a QT update.
    I've looked for a QT 7.3 uninstaller but to no avail.

    Here's what happened.
    After doing everything by the book, nothing worked-except that unsufficient edit warning-so I shut down for a few minutes and figured I'd try a few things.
    After doing a cold reboot I opened the existing file with 7 hours of clips. It had an opening to it which had been shortened. I tried to insert a clip, and insufficient edit popped up again. I took the clip and tried to drag it to the timeline, nothing. I went to the absolute end of the timeline, tried dropping the clip onto a clean video/audio track and it appeared. That was a start. I took the clip and moved it to the tracks with existing video and audio (V1, A1,2) and it moved toward the existing clips with no problem.
    I deleted the clip from the timeline and tried to install the clip through the canvas and it took. Don't ask me how or why, but for some reason it would not allow clips onto the timeline until it was 'retrained' for lack of a better term. It is now taking clips as it did before the troubles.
    I'm wondering if there was some type of 'ghost' clip which just wouldn't go away until it was overwritten manually-although overwrite through the canvas wouldn't work before. Perhaps the problem and the updates were coincidental but experience would say no. I would guess I tripped something which may be difficult to reproduce, but it's returned as it was. Thanks for reminding me to do the maintenance, it had to help in the overall. But I'll remained thrilled that it works but baffled why it didn't.
