New phone can't receive or send calls

I upgraded to a smart phone and it worked great at home in Texas but I work in Alaska 2 weeks at a time and when I got up here it only rarely will let me send or receive a call. my last phone worked perfect here and other co-workers phones - same carrier work just fine- standing within feet of me. Tech support has a ticket on this and are looking into it. My question is: could there be something I need to set or reset or activate to make it work out of a Verizon area?

Thanks for your response; I tried *228 but since I am out of a Verizon area that doesn't work and I don't see any advance settings options to check CDMA?
The Tech support person I spoke with seems to think the system I am roaming on is not recognizing my device for some reason. So possibly it is an issue with that--but I can't rule out a phone issue. Another worker has an identical phone and gets great service.
Thanks,Jeff

  • New iphone can't receive or send text messages

    I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

    It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

  • New phone - can't receive texts from iphones

    Hi all. I've just bought a new phone (non iphone), I've followed the instructions to turn off imessage but I still cannot receive texts from anyone with an iphone. Does anyone know of anything else I can do? Thanks in advance

    Not sure what "instructions" you followed, but see this:

  • Can't receive or send  calls

    So I have had the galaxy s5 for 15 days. The past 7 were spent trying to figure out why my phone wasn't making or receiving phone calls. I did the trouble shoot for everything but nothing woked. (Pulling battery, resets ov every kind, Sim card replacements, network connection resetspeed etc etc etc.) So I go into the store where I got the phone at still within the 14 day warranty and they tell me to go to a corporate store. A couple days later I do and they were all ready to exchange my phone to the LG G3. All was ready to go and they then said "you didn't buy your phone here. You need to go to the store you did get it at." This is now one day after the 14 day window. So I go to the Verizon store where I did get it for them to tell me they can't do a thing, and that I should take it up with the manufacturer.  Is this really the customer support verizon has to offer?

    Yes.  I had tried everything to Remedy the issue but to no avail.  Spending a week trying to fix it then put me outside ov the 14 day warranty window.  All the while receiving very poor customer support both in store and online.

    Hi there HotFerrari,
    It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • I can't receive texts or calls from certain phones

    I can't receive texts or calls from at least 2 AT&T phones and at least one sprint iphone...I've reset the settings, deleted threads, called my carrier (tmobile) to make sure there are no blocks in place. It's weird because I can't even receive texts from tmobile or my bank! My bill is paid and I do get messages from other numbers. Can anyone help?

    Finally got through to talk to a very helpful technician at EE by selecting account query rather than technical problem on the automated answering system on 150. A reset by EE sorted the problem out and the phone is working fine again.

  • Droid X receives and sends calls but neither party can hear

    My Droid X would receive and send calls but nether party can hear each other, however I can send dial tones on the line.  The receiving side can not send tones.  Resetting to factory is dramatic.  What can I do to fix this.  Thanks!

    Sounds like the software could be corrupt, how is hard reset dramatic?
    It is either hardware or software, you won't know until you eliminate one.

  • Facetime is not working in Ipad 2 after updating IOS5. I can't receive and transmit calls. Facetime uin the setting is on.

    Ipad 2 WiFI + 3G, Facetime is  not working after updating to IOS5. The facetime in the setting is turned on. I can't received and transmit calls.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

  • Just Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS5, Can't receive any incoming calls at all

    Hi, I just updated my phone to iOS5 and now, I'm having these troubles.
    - Can't receive any incoming calls at all
    - The incoming calls directly goes to voice mail greeting
    - No incoming rings & no missed calls alerts
    - Also noticed the incoming text with 4 to 5 hours delays
    - Sometimes 3G network get lost
    The reception (status bar) is good level, can make outgoing calls okay and can send text okay.
    I did try reset the network setting and it seems working a few hours then went back to troubles (mentioned above).
    I've done 3 or 4 times reset but none have been resolved yet.
    Anyone having a same issues?
    I have
    iPhone 3GS with iOS5
    Network with O2 UK
    Thanks,

    After reset "All network settings" a several times, it seems working but few hours later it 's been gone back to troubles again.
    Is this related to iOS5 or O2?
    I've contacted the network carrier several times but no-one yet get back to me.
    Any ideas, please helps.

  • Email settings don't work, can't receive or send email

    No matter how many times I change my Outlook email settings for Verizon, the new settings have never worked.  I used to be able to at least receive email, but for many months I have not been able to send email.  I have called support and emailed Verizon and no one has been able to help.
    So now as of 11/11/2013, I can't receive or send email and I have tried to change my settings to the new settings, and nothing works.  I have gone to verizon.com/emailsettings for step by step instructions, all to no avail.
    I also have comcast.net and my own website email in Outlook  and now NONE of my email accounts work as of 11/11/2013.  It appears Verizon is the key to my problems.
    Any thoughts?

    Verizon should have no impact on your ability to use Outlook with your comcast.com account.  Verizon is only providing the pipe to Comcast, and I can get there there just fine.  Something must have been changed in your Outlook setup for your Comcast account (which is separate from the settings for your Verizon account) or Comcast must have changed something that broke your Comcast settings.
    If you provide your exact Outlook settings (inbound and outbound including servier names, ports, and SSL settings), perhaps someone can help.
    Also, can you successfully use the Verizon webmail to access your mailbox?

  • How can I receive a "send receipt" for email I send?

    How can I receive a "send receipt" when I send email?

    You'll essentially get a "Send Receipt" immediately after sending as the message will appear in your Sent mailbox.
    If you are looking for a "read reciept," It is pretty much not supported by Mail. You can set up a header for all outgoing email which will attempt to intrude on your recipients' privacy, but it will be for all emails.
    Also, many email clients will not respond to a read receipt, including Mail. Even if they will respond to a read receipt, the default setting is uaually to ask the user prior to sending. So, there is no guarantee you will ever get a read receipt.
    I have no idea if this still works: http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/et_request_recp.htm
    If it is really that important to you, add a sentence to your signature explaining the great necessity that you need to invade your recipient's privacy and that they need to respond immediately to let you know they've read your email.
