Extended network activation? iphone 5? in college no verizon service

in morgantown wv, there is many Verizon cell service. I just got my iphone 5 tried activated and doing so my iPhone 4 got deactivated now I'm without a phone. any tricks?

Hello 2020word!
I know you're eagerly awaiting to use your new iPhone 5! When activating a 4G LTE phone you will actually need to be in direct Verizon Wireless coverage.
You can use this map: http://bit.ly/ymXLCI to find the closest direct coverage to you. Once you have it activated you will be able to bring it back to school and use it though you may have limited data capabilities.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

Is there a way to use an "Extended" network on an AT&T iPhone

hello all! I have an iPhone 5 on AT&T. In some spots I have spotty coverage, and I'm wondering if there's a way to "Rollback" to an Extended or Partner network like the Verizon iPhone does? Thanks!

I found the following on a Verizon web page entitled "Determining Verizon Wireless Service Coverage":
"When the roam indicator is flashing or the banner display reads Extended Network, home airtime rates still apply, but additional features and services may not be available.
"When the roam indicator is solid or the banner display reads Roaming, roam rates apply and digital features and services are not available."
The distinction seems to be mainly one of price, but also of services.
As far as I can tell, AT&T has only one sort of (domestic US) roaming, but Verizon has two different terms.
As far as I can tell, since AT&T doesn't charge for domestic voice roaming, there is no switch to enable or disable it. You can switch data roaming off and on.

My network extender is dropping iPhone 5 calls?

We've had our Samsung Network extender (model SCS-2U01) for about 6 months and it has worked fine. Now both our iPhone 5s are suddenly dropping incoming and outgoing calls. It seems like our phones going "off" the extender or just not coming back on when we get home. This happens even if the phone is just a few feet away from the extender. Since there is no way to know if it is under "Extender Network Coverage" without dialing #48 or noticing that the two beeps don't happen at the start of a call, it's hard to track.
Typically, it will work fine for a few days, then once a call drops, neither one of us can get back on "Extender Coverage" to make/receive a reliable call for some time. We're tried restarting/rebooting the Extender as well as the router and modem behind it with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions/fixes? We ditched our land line since this $250 solution was working great, but now that it's not it's extremely frustrating.

I have the same exact problem with 3 of my iPhone 5s. But with iPhone 5, its okay. I really HATE it, since the 5s are work phones. I could complete any conference calls. When my boss or clients call me, it drops just after a minute talking. Its very FRUSTRATING!.
Verizon, do you have resolution to this issue? It seems that you have multiple complains regarding this issue, Yet, I haven't seen at least ONE resolution or response from your team regarding this issue. Oh, I forgot, I thought I saw one, CLASS ACTION resolution.
My company that pays for this service is a one of your big customers here in Southern California. If this problem persist, we might have to convince our contracting team to reconsider this issue. Especially we have other contracts with AT&T and Sprint. Bottom line, its all about efficiency and reliability to run a business, which neither of the two are present at this pressing and frustrating issue. PLEASE respond with true resolution.

IPhone 5s showing extended network instead of Verizon.

Every since I did the update on my iPhone 5s my phone has been showing extended network instead of Verizon. After reading the post, I find I'm not the only one with this problem. After almost 3 weeks with Verizon support, Apple support, trouble tickets, resetting, restoring, reinstalling, something called reprovision, a new phone and 2 new sim cards, I finally got an answer to the problem. Since I have Verizon service with an Alltel plan the update will not work. Verizon and Apple are aware of the problem but the do not like to admit it. The only solution I was offered was to change my plan to a Verizon one which would be a lot more money for a lot less service, or they would have the local store loan me a different type of smart phone ( Droid or whatever they had available) for me to use till Apple does another update with a fix. I'm not really happy with any of the options Verizon is giving me. If they can not provide me with acceptable service I think they should be the ones making the concessions, not the customers who are not getting what we are paying for. Verizon needs to come up with an acceptable plan to replace the Alltel plans.

Alltel had a smartpack plan which included unlimited data. So I imagine he's on that. Vzw of course is in it BIGTIME for the $ hence they'll need to phase out those plans by any means. Making things difficult with extended areas etc. They already made alltel phones unusable years ago

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

My iphone 5 is stuck in extended network

How can I get out of extended network? It is killing my battery life and I have been in extended network no matter where I go all day every day for a week.

What did your carrier say when you contacted them?

[AT&T 4S] Phone forced to Extended Network, won't come back

My phone recently showed that it was in the Extended Network despite being in an area of 4G/3G coverage. I know that there is valid coverage in the location because I had another iPhone 4S/AT&T user sitting right next to me with 4G service and full bars. It will remain in "Extended Network" (complete with reduced speeds) until I apply the only solution that I've found after numerous other solutions failed.
I tried the following solutions to no avail:
Turning on Airplane Mode and then turning it off
Resetting my network settings
Resetting my cellular data settings
Turned off/on Settings>Cellular Data, Settings>Data Roaming
Hard restart of the phone
Turning phone off/on
Removing and reinserting SIM card
The only solution that I've found to work is to do the following:
Remove the SIM card
Find another person that has a 4S on a DIFFERENT CARRIER (i.e., Verizon)
Remove their SIM card and insert it into my phone
Wait a minute or two to force the phone to go into "Activation Required" mode
I eject the DIFFERENT CARRIER SIM card
Put mine back in
Wait a minute or two until finally it somehow re-establishes itself onto the network and my 4G comes back
My question: is there an easier way to force the "Activation Required" mode to come up, or to achieve what this is doing? Like I said, simply popping my SIM card out/in doesn't work - that other carrier's card seems to be a key part of the process... I'm just worried that there won't always be someone with a 4S and a different carrier somewhere where I can use their SIM card....
Thanks!

Your phone is hacked, or inserting a SIM card from a different carrier would hot trigger a request to activate - it would tell you that no SIM is inserted. The hacking/jailbreaking is the source or this problem. No further help can be given here.
Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues

Can I create an extended network with a brand new TC and 2 first gen. AE units?

I purchased a TC 2TB yesterday and replaced my non apple router with the TC. I have 2 older AE units that I suspect to be first generation. TC is in basement and I have placed AE in garage where I spend most of my time. Signal in garage is weak and lags. Air tunes off of AE in garage connected to boom box works fine. I run AirTunes from 3 iPhones, iPod touch, and 2 iPads with no problems. The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old? I don't want to create a WDS network and sacrifice the bandwidth. My main machine is an iMac 27 that is one year old, this is in the kitchen pretty much midway between the TC and the AE in the garage, if that makes any difference?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old?
Please take a look at the faint print on the side of both AirPort Express (AX) devices that you have to identify the Model No.
You will need # A 1264 to do what you want. If you have # A 1084 or similar, the devices that you have are not compatible with the "extend a wireless network" setup.
What are your findings?

Time Capsule & Airport Express Extended Network loses connection!

OK, so I am an Apple virgin of 2 months experience, after many many years with Windows based PCs, so please be patient and gentle with me. Sorry about the long explanation.....
My set-up comprises of a Time Capsule, which is connected to the Internet via a NetGear ASDL modem. Both pieces of equipment are situated in my wife's office on the first floor of our house. My office is on the ground floor, where I have a 27" iMac and an Airport Express which is connected to a printer via the USB port. The Airport Express is sited about 10 feet from the iMac.
All software and firmware are lastest versions - TC v7.5, AX v7.4.2 & Airport Utility v5.5.
For the past 2 months, I have only been using the AX to print wirelessly and the set-up has worked faultlessly.
Earlier this week, I decided change the configuration to extend the network to allow me to use my laptop & iPhone in areas of the ground floor where I had no signal. I followed the online instructions and first changed the TC to check the box to 'allow this network to be extended', after updating the configuration successfully I moved to the AX. Here I changed the wireless mode to 'Extend a wireless network', selected the network name and checked the 'Allow wireless clients' box. This also updated successfully.
Everything ran correctly and the range of the network was greatly increased.......great, job done...not!
After about 3 hours the iMac lost the connection and the TC disappeared from the Airport Utility pane and refused to reappear. I checked but also couldn't connect or see any network on the laptop or iPhone, so have dismissed a fault with the iMac. I finally got things back up after doing a power reset of the TC, but after a few hours same problem occurred, and occurred and occurred. By clicking the Airport Utility icon on the top right of the screen and following the prompts from 'no Internet connection', I can at least get things up and working without a power reset of the TC, but the connection still drops after 2-5 hours each time.
My first call to Apple Support led to a full reset and re-config of both the TC and AX, setting the extended network up as I had done originally. The only difference was an iMac reset (alt/cmd P&R on power up) and changing the 2.4Ghz channel from 1 to 11. This had no affect and the connection drop-out problem continued.
My second call to Apple Support led to me being passed to a Level 2 Techie, who first suggested that I tried disabling the Guest Network - tried it, and it made no difference. I was then told to try a WDS network, which whilst not losing connection, is slower and has less range than the original extended network and frankly sounds a cop-out.
Has anyone had a similar problem, anyone solved the problems, can anyone offer any help or advice please.. I'd appreciate any input....thanks.

Similar problem here. Cable Modem (Moto SB6120)->AEBS (802.11n dual-band)>AX (802.11n) for wireless connection to MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.2. AEBS configured as dual-band: 801.11a/n at 5GHZ and 801.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHZ. AX configured to wirelessly extend the AEBS 5GHz 802.11a/n network. I am able to run on the extended 5GHz network (via AX) for varying lengths of time, until the internet connection dies. When this occurs, I am able to switch over to the 2.4GHz network to get back online. Solution up until now has been to unplug the AX, then plug it back in. After the AX restarts, I am able to hop back onto its 5GHz signal and get to the internet. However, the internet connection on this band will drop again after some time.
I was on the phone with Apple Support twice in the past week to get this resolved, but no joy. Senior Advisor seemed to think that my AX was working properly, and that that the problem could be with my AEBS -- perhaps the 5GHz antenna might be bad in my AEBS? Seems odd to me, since both my AEBS and AX are less than 2 months old...
I just read the post from LocoDoc and decided to see if I could replicate the problem. Sure enough, when I am connected to the internet via my AX extended 5GHz network signal and a Time Machine backup starts, the internet connection quits. Only recourse is to restart the AX. Note that I do not experience this problem with Time Machine while connected wirelessly straight to the AEBS 5GHz signal. Only when I am connected to the "extended" signal via the AX.

Activated iPhone 4, but can't get any service...just says "Searching..."

So I purchased an iPhone 4 and activated it with my number. Verizon account says phone is activated with my number, and I set it up with iTunes and all that good stuff. However, I can't get any service at all. The rest of my family all has iPhone 4 and they get 3G coverage in our house no problem, but I can't seem to get service anywhere. I have tried everything in the book; reset network settings, reset all settings on phone, soft reset, updated to newest IOS, dialed *228 and pressed 2 to get new PRL, turned it on and off multiple times, etc . Still can't seem to get service, just keeps saying "Searching.." where the bars should be. Just wondering if there are any other steps I need to take. Appreciate any and all feedback.

Hi Snyder23,
I am sad to hear about the problems with your new iPhone 4! That is a great device. Thanks for all the troubleshooting your have done so far. It appears your phone might be faulty. Are you still within your 14 day Worry Free Guarantee? If so, we can exchange it for another device. If not, you can visit your local Apple store for a hands on evaluation. Keep us posted.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

Status of WBS element triggering confirmation of network activity ?

Hello,
Can you please let me know if the following requirement could be solved using workflow in PS module :
Setting of 'Fully invoiced' status (FNBL) on WBS element in CN02 transaction should trigger the confirmation of network activity (transaction CN25).
How this possibly could be done using workflow ?
Regards, Wieslaw

Hi,
   its possible to raise a workflow on Setting of 'Fully invoiced' status (FNBL) on WBS element in CN02 transaction .
BOR: bus2054
Do status managemnet to raise a evnt of this BOR ( BSVW ).
In the work flow in one of the method of extended BOR,
    do the confirmation of network activity thru some bapis,etc.
For confirmation:
   BOR: PSAFRU method:    NetworkConfirmation.Create
   check if this is helpfu
create an instance of this nd check if this method helps.

My devices not automatically switching between Airport Extreme and Airport Express in extended network

I have setup an extended network in my home using an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. The Extreme is connected directly to the FiOS modem and the Express is being used as the extender. The nework is setup fine, but my devices (MBA, iPhone, iPad) are not switching base stations when the signal becomes poor on the one it's connected to. For example, I am upstairs with my MBA and a great signal as I am connected to the Express. When I move downstairs to where the Extreme is setup, the Wi-Fi connection becomes poor even though I am litterally sitting next to the Extreme. To force it to connect to the Extreme, I need to shutoff the Wi-Fi on the MBA and turn back on. At this point, the MBA will connect to the Extreme with a excellent signal.
Any thoughts on why the MBA is not automatically switching?
Thanks for the help!
Brian

The first troubleshooting step for any kind of network "issue" is a complete power cycle of the network. This gives everything a "fresh start" with new connections.
Power off the entire network.....all devices....in any order you want
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem/router first, and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
Check the network again with the MBA and report on your results
Do not worry about the iPhone and iPad....they are pretty much hopeless as far as automatically switching from one access point to another....but the MBA should if it is working correctly.

HT4628 Using an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to extend network; will proximity to AEX vs. AE make a real world difference in speed

I have set up an extended network (thanks go to Bob Timmons for his assistance) using an AE as a base station and a second AE and an Airport Express to extend the wireless signal. Comcast provides, so they say, 50 Mbps. The AEX is located in the bedroom where it is used more often and the AE is in the pantry (for occasional use in the garage.) Would I get better speed/signal strength if I switched the two devices; i. e., placed the Airport Extreme in the bedroom and the AEX in the pantry?

Thanks for your response. I set up the wireless network because running Cat-5 was cost prohibitive. My internet connection is very good for general purposes but I ask the question, somewhat academically, because Wi-Fi Explorer shows the Max Rate of the network devices as follows:
Airport Express (located in the bedroom): 144 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz
Airport Extreme (in the pantry): 217 [email protected] GHz
To reiterate, If these two changed locations would I get better speed/signal in the bedroom location? Does it even really matter since Comcast is "only" sending me 50 Mbps? Just a couple of questions to keep my mind active (and confused).

Time Events in PS (Clocking on an off a Network Activity)

Hi,
Is there a SAP standard transaction for clocking on and off jobs for a Network Activity? In PP you can clock on and off a job using CO19 but that doesn't work for PS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Adeel

As I understand, this kind of funcationality is not there in PS becasue in PS all the project activity is not direclty depends upon physical plant resource entiry directly. So, indirectly you can achieve the same via early confimration and extending duration of acitivty etc..
Pelase share if someone have other views.

7.6.4 killing extended networks?

I've got a 5th gen Extreme serving as my router and dhcp server. Attached to it via ethernet I have a 3rd gen Extreme and a 2nd gen Express. All were running firmware 7.6.3. This config had been stable for a long time. I upgraded all of the units to 7.6.4 and that stability went away. It appears like the router would die - would not pass packets via wif and claimed it lost connection to the internet. I swapped the 5th and 3rd gen Extremes just to see if there was a unit problem. No luck. I downgraded the main Extreme - no luck. Once I downgraded all of the units the network regained its stability.
Anyone else seeing strangeness with 7.6.4 and extended networks?

I would like to chime in with my similar experience.
My dual-channel setup is Airport Extreme (4th gen) and Airport Express (2nd gen) (wired to the Extreme) in addition to an Airport Express (1st gen) wirelessly extending the 2.4 ghz SSID.
As soon as I upgraded all access points to 7.6.4 I started having intermittent dropouts and delays on what appeared to be all my devices (including iPads and iPhones). By trial and error I singled the culprit out to be the 2nd gen Airport Express. Digging deeper, I found that every time my laptop (with Intel 6300 AGN) was associated with that specific access point I got predictable ping timeouts for 5 seconds every 10-20 seconds ad nauseum. It would sometimes start out ok for a minute or so, then almost like clockwork it would start with the regular timeouts.
The solution turned out to be to downgrade to 7.6.3 for the 2nd gen only (I rinsed and repeated 4-5 times, making me pretty sure).
Other actions I tried (unsuccessfully) to resolve the issue:
Remove the 1st gen from the network
Move the access points around the house to rule out local interference issues
Downgrade the Extreme only, while keeping the 2nd gen at 7.6.4
Connect to the 2.4 ghz SSID (same result)
Admittedly, I did not bother trying to set the 2nd gen as the only ISP gateway/wireless device instead of having it wired to the Extreme. Mostly because of this: One of my co-workers brought a laptop with the same Intel wireless chipset home with him to perform the same tests on his Apple network. Same result - ping timeouts at similar intervals. He is out of luck though - his single Extreme-AC router has no previous firmware to downgrade to...
Now this might seem anecdotal, but it would appear that the newer devices Airport devices are susceptible to this specific issue while the older ones are home free. Anyone got any theory they can share as to what might be causing this? Any glaring oversight in my research?
