I am having alot of dropped calls in area code 21826

I have the Iphone 5s and my wife has the Samsung s5 and the last couple week I can not make or receive a call with out it being dropped. We have lived in this house for over a year with no problems. I also have a problem with my text messages getting held up or not delivered. And yesterday I received a voice mail with out receiving a phone call 20 minutes after the voice mail was sent. Idownloaded the IS8.0 operating system to see if this would help, but it has not changed.

Spikeruhl,
Thanks for all the details! I don't see anything in the area that is any different now, than it would have been a couple of weeks ago when this started. You mentioned you recently updated the software, did you perform the most recent update to 8.0.2? This update was sent out on the heels of the first iOS 8 update. If not, please update and test your phone out. Also, any issues with your wife's device? Is she experiencing the same or are you only aware of your device specifically?

We used to have great service, now it sucks! Constantly dropping calls, dead areas that have never been dead. Getting fed up and getting no help from Verizon.

This is really getting old, no help from Verizon. Service was great 2 years ago now it sucks, Constantly dropping calls, dead areas where there used to be fine. What is verison doing to help this???

I have an iphone 5s, my husband has a casio, my sister in law has a Samsung, my friends have various phones we are all experiencing the same thing – dropped calls, no service and it is outside as well as inside the house or the car. At our residence and along the drive to work or to the store. I don’t text much or use my data much so I am mostly concerned with the telephone service.

Caller ID Manipulation based on called party Area Code

I have a new Sales department and they want to be able to call 6 different areas, in which we have a local presence, and have a local number show up for Caller ID and return calls. I have setup a separate Partition and CSS for these users, which will send calls out our SIP trunk. I need all other calls to show the External Phone Number Mask, as normal
I have tried using the Calling Party Transformation in the route pattern to achieve this. I've added it to the Sales partition. I also tried using translation patterns. The "
Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask" box is unchecked in both scenarios. I need to get this completed before I brief them on it tomorrow. The External Phone Number Mask field is empty on my test extension. The far end sees the extension of that phone, and not the intended local number.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
- Jonathan Beardsley

The problem, for me, was that the "Use External Phone Number Mask" box was checked on teh Route Group, overriding other changes.
So, I built separate RG, RL, and Route Patterns to achieve my goals, applying the Calling Party Transformation on the Route Pattern, thus applying different CallerID per area code of called party.
Thanks!

Help: repeated calls from area code 266

I am getting repeated calls at all hours from area code 266 and different numbers. When i answer i get mostly silence or some voice i can not understand. When I call back I am told the number does not exist. When I use google to trace the number (e.g.266 950 6008 or 266-949-1883 I am told there is not such number.
What can I do to stop this?
Verizon has told me that I may have to get a new number. Is there anything else I can try before this?

You can block up to 5 numbers for free for 90 days via your on-line MyVerizon account. You can block more if you pay $4.99 per month for the Usage Controls. There's other threads on this forum that also talk about apps and other avenues (like You Mail) that you can use.
I had several of those calls and blocked them. After a week or two the caller would change their number (at least that's what I'm thinking they were doing), so I'd go in and block them again. After doing this a few times, the calls stopped. I think they were robo calls; even though you can be on all the do-not-call lists, you can still get those calls.
I always ignore calls if I don't know who it is and let them go to voice mail. If your phone allows you to send contacts to voice mail, you could put the numbers in your phone and send them straight to voice mail.
I've had my number too long; I'll be danged if some marketer or prankster is gonna force me to change my number; I'd view that as a last resort, but that's just my opinion.

Blocking Outbound Calls by Area Code and Time Zone

I am looking to block agents from making outbound calls to certain time zones by area code. Can't quite get my head around how I can use route filters with time schedules. Any help would be appreciated.

Create the route patterns for those area codes and then configure one which allows the calls, and another one that blocks the calls, use TOD to enable/disable them as required.

Is anyone else suffering dropped calls in zip code 85260?

Dropping multiple calls daily and cell bars have decreased from 3-4 to 1-2 in the past 30 days. Cell towers must be down or Verizon is losing it. I have two iPhone 5 and an IPAD, they all have weak coverage.

IOS 4.3 constantly dropping calls

I updated to iOS 4.3 about 2 hours ago. Before updating, I had maybe 1 call drop every few weeks. Since updating.. I'm checking my call log to be accurate.. What should have been one 24 minute call was broken up into 16 calls because it kept dropping. Then another for a total of 12 minutes during which there were 10 drops. I have nothing out of the ordinary to explain it other than the update.

I just started having problems with dropped calls today on my 3GS, even though i updated a few days after the update came out. I tried calling someone today and the call dropped 8 times. My signal was fine. The call time is only about 15 seconds before the call drops again. I tried calling them back and it dropped 3 more times. I called someone else to make sure it was my phone, and it dropped 3 more times with that person. I am extremely angry as my phone is now useless as a phone. If this is 4.3, they need to fix it now!

Is 2.1 still dropping calls for you?

It is for me. No improvement at all. Steve Jobs says this is a small issue and only a few people are experiencing it. Are you one of the few?
I have four phone and all of them drop calls. This is not some remote area, this is in flat land around southern California (Newport Beach).
I also know 10+ other people I work with that have the same problem.

I am also experiencing dropped calls but mostly when using 3G. If I am using EDGE the problem is not as severe. I live in Baltimore MD. I had posted a question here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8093328 but will repost in this thread.
If you are on a call and moving and you move from a 3G into a non-3G area will the call always drop or will the phone attempt to pick it up on edge before losing it all together? Also, can the phone maintain a connection if you switch 3G cells? I suspect that one of the reasons we are having so many dropped call problems is that the AT&T 3G service is so spotty. If iPhone could somehow switch to edge as a last resort before dropping the call we might not loose as many calls.
Is the dropped call problem an issue that requires replacement of the phone? (i.e. have people replaced their phones and found it fixed the issue?)

Phone keeps dropping calls...

My phone drops call all the time now...
How do I go about getting this phone changed out. I purchased the insurance.

We would need to troubleshoot your phone and access your account to determine want is causing the dropped calls. If you are still having issues with dropped calls, please contact us at 800-922-0204 or send us a private message. Please include your name, mobile number, and contact information.

Moto Driod constantly dropping calls

I really hope someone can help me, My Motorola Driod is constantly dropping my calls. I can't even talk to someone for more than 2 minutes without the call being dropped. In addition to that problem, while I'm talking to someone, the phone will randomly mute the phone to where I can hear the other person but they cannot hear me. It basically happens 99.5% of the time, please help!

I haven't expereienced dropped calls until I got the moto droid, but I will try your tip. thank you I hope it works
Hi! I am sorry you are having issues with drop calls. I can certainly look into this for you. TheGreatOne is certainly correct, I would first suggest dialing *228 option 2 to update your phone. If that does not help, I may need to check your area so I can see if we are having any issues with your area.
Please let me know if updating your phone works.
If not, can you please send me your zip code so I can check your area?
Thanks!

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore

Truth of the matter is ATT was not ready for this. I was ready to turn in my 3G
and go back to my old iPhone when a tech rep at Apple told me to turn off
3G. I went from full bars at home to only one when 3G was on and all of my
calls were getting dropped. After the rep told me this I replied, "excuse me?
You mean the reason I bought the new iPhone, so I can talk and email at the
same time on the 3G network, is not even doable yet?" He replied that they've
been telling customers to turn off the 3G and then the phone would work fine -
which it did. Now I just keep it on the edge network and hope that one day the
3G network will be up to speed and I live in LA! So give it a shot and turn off 3G.
Thanks ATT!

Is anybody having drop-out and dropped call issues?

hi
i'm on my second 8gig iphone and am still having (after 2days) horrible drop-outs on almost every call and dropped calls. the signal is showing full strenght-4bars while this is happening. any ideas? my previous cell (blackberry on att) had perfect reception at all times at same location. drove through the neighborhood this afternoon and same thing. i areas where i used to get perfect reception i now get drop-outs.
thx,
mk

you are correct - hence my previous post that my att reception on my previous phone - a blackberry in exact same locations - was perfect. on the other hand i think this must be an isolated incident of bad luck receiving 2 phones in a row that have bad reception. i met at least 10 people at the apple store on friday night that live in my area (within 1/2 mile) and nobody has complained (so far) about reception issues and dropped calls.

Note 3 poor reception, no signal, dropped calls. other phones have no problem. have reset it, pulled battery, support has reset towers etc. still having issues.

note 3 poor reception, dropped calls, no signal, 3g not 4g. out of service area message at home this is crazy. other phones have no problem,

Wow! That's quite the large area, Nicki05. The service along Interstate 65 is pretty strong in general. Do you use any type of case on your phone? Has your phone been replaced through your warranty when you gave our Tech Support a call?
