Can't Receive Calls On New Samsung Galaxy S4?

I'm unable to receive calls on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4. I only activated the phone two days ago. When I call my number, it goes directly to voicemail.
Everything else works fine - I can make calls, send and receive text messages, synchronize my e-mail, etc. It's only impossible to receive calls on the phone. I've tried calling both from a cell phone and a landline. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ashley,
I contacted a Verizon sales rep in Bethesda on Friday and he informed me that the problem is due to my telephone number not being ported correctly (I transferred my old number from my previous carrier). I have since resubmitted my porting request, so this should be resolved soon. Would you be able to give me an estimated time to completion of my request?
Another issue came up more recently - I am not receiving text messages from certain numbers only. Do you have any idea why this would be the case?
Thanks!

I can't make calls on my Samsung Galaxy S5. This problem just started in the past few days. When I try and make a call, it will never ring and the call will cancel.

Just had this issue come up. When I go to make calls, it never rings. It will eventually cancel the call. Also, when people try to call me, they say it will either ring and never reach my voicemail or they will instantly get my voicemail. This does not occur on all calls. I have good/great service, have done a reset, checked my SIM card, checked airplane mode, etc. Nothing seems to resolve the issue. Anybody else dealing with this or know how to resolve it?

We want to get your calls back in action, duckcallr1! Did this start after installing new app or update? Have you tested this in different areas? Are your text and data connections still going through?

Can't receive calls or texts on galaxy s5

I recently switched to the Verizon Prepaid plan, and since Sunday I haven't been able to get any incoming calls (it rings twice and then goes to voice mail--I've checked to make sure call forwarding was off) or incoming text messages. I can send them, and they are received by everyone, I just can't get anything incoming. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I would go to my:
Pre-paid customer service - 888-294-6804 - choose 1 for English, then 4, 6, 4 to get to a live person who can look at your account and see what is going on.

Upgraded to new samsung galaxy s4 from a I phone 4 and I can't receive text messages from anyone with an I phone.

I upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S 4 from an IPhone 4 and I can't get text messages from anyone who has an IPhone.

Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
Thanks!

New Samsung Galaxy S5 won't download MMS messages

Hi, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it wont download the MMS messages. I've looked everywhere for answers but can only seem to find info on previous iphone users switching to the Galaxy. This is quite aggravating and would appreciate any advice.

I am going through the same thing. I have read the info here and it has been pretty useless. I am coming from an old-style Casio Brigade. I would receive a picture message, click on it, and it would open. With my new Samsung Galaxy S5, this doesn't happen. There are several messages sitting there, all with a download tab -click it and nothing happens. I am connected to wifi, and my phone is receiving text messages, so why no photo messages? Of course, if I turn on "mobile data" and choose to be charged an outrageous amount for data, then everything works as advertised. It SHOULD be able to receive this like any other text message, as it did on my old phone. If it needs the internet (and I don't understand why it would), it IS connected via wifi in my home. How do you or I fix this so that I don't have to use my mobile data each time I receive a group or photo message?

How to make a video call on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and have been unable to make a video call. The settings are set to allow it but I am missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's a great feature and phone Skydiver13!
To turn HD Voice and Video Calling ON, you can go to Apps> Swipe to tap Settings>Tap Advanced Calling> Tap Advanced Calling again> Tap the Advance Calling Toggle to turn ON.
To make video calls, you can go to Apps> Contacts> Select a contact> Tap Call icon> From Active Call screen, tap Camera. (The caller will have to accept the change to a video call).
Thank you,

I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. It doesn't recognize my Adobe ID/password combination.

I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook because it doesn't recognize the ID/password combination that works on the Adobe website. Please let me know if I am in the wrong community.

Having the same issue, called B&N, have spent many hours and still no resolution. As a work-around, I downloaded bluefire reader on my nook. Then I used dropbox to take the book that I borrowed from the library and open in bluefire reader on my nook and that worked (still cannot see it in my nook library, but at least I can read the book).

If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac. All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account. Anyone have the same issue?

Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

How to get a replacement AC charger & cable for a new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

I've had my new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini for a few days. Last night I plugged in the phone's wall charger and cable to charge. The following message appeared on the screen: To charge faster use the charger and cable provided with this phone. I did use the charger and cable that was shipped with the phone. Then the charging indicator under the Settings menu changed from charging to not charging several times. I noticed that the plug into the phone was a little loose.
There is a little black tag on the cable with the following: For warranty replacement of your phone call 1-866-406-5154
I called the number to see about getting a new cable and wall charger. I was offered a free medical alert necklace if I was older than 50, and then I was told that I had won a free cruise and was asked about personal info such as social #. I never did get to speak to anyone about the problems I am having with my charger.
So, I'm hoping I get two things resolved with this post.
I need a new cable and wall adapter to charge my new phone.
I would like someone to know that the cable that came with my new phone has a black tag on it with a phone number. And when called, they ask for personal information in exchange for a free cruise on a ship.
Thanks!
Liz

Visit a corporate store with your phone and charger.

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.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
2. Restart your iPhone.

          - 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.
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.

9. Contact your carrier to:
          - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
          - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
          - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I just got this phone last night and I can't receive calls. It was my sons phone and it worked perfectly before.

My son got a new iphone5 so I took his iphone4s. It worked perfectly with him but, after I activated my new SIM card and try to use the phone I can't receive calls. I can make calls and sent and receive texts. Just can't receive calls.

try resetting your network settings, it just resets wifi and carrier settings, no data
