No phone coverage in house

AT&T recommends MicroCell.  IT DOES NOT WORK WITH iPhone 4 or iPhone 3gs running iOS 5.0.1.  Is there any femtocell that will work with iphones?  Tired of sitting on hold to fix problem that needs a programming update! 

Works fine with my wife's iPhone 4 running 5.0.1, my 4S running 5.0.1 and my daughter's 3GS running 5.0.1.

  • GPS Maps Outside of Phone Coverage when Traveling

    *Is there anyway to download maps for your destination using a computer and then onto the iphone before you go?*
    Most people need a map when they are traveling, not in their local area.
    To download maps using the limited 3G network coverage while traveling is EXPENSIVE.
    A lot of places just do not have 3G and using 2G to download maps on the fly is SLOW & EXPENSIVE.
    Many places interesting places in the world do not have any phone coverage at all.
    So how useful is the GPS function on the iphone if you are in an area where you cannot download a map.
    Is there anyway to download maps for your destination using a computer and then onto the iphone before you go?

    Perhaps you have not done much traveling. I have.
    I am also very experienced at reading all types of maps, including
    topographical maps on land and depth contour maps and so on at sea.
    So map reading is not the problem for me.
    Actually getting good maps, that are easy to use even from guide books is
    quite difficult. It is not really convenient to have to carry a heavy
    guidebook around every where. In some places the maps from guide books
    have inadequate or incorrect coverage. In Japan or China it can be difficult to
    come to grips with the calligraphy, sometimes there just aren't any road signs.
    So a GPS map device becomes are very useful piece of kit. Unfortunately as much as I like Mac stuff and wanted the iPhone for this purpose, it is in its current
    form not very useful for travelers.
    The Nokia maps can be preloaded (so at least you can avoid expensive download costs) but the coverage is quite limited. Samsung have a new 16+16Gb GPS phone that with pre-purchased GPS maps could do the job.
    Apple could fairly easily fix the iPhone GPS software so that you can preload all the Google maps for a country before you leave. After all you generally know where you are going. If Apple was to do this then I would get the iPhone
    but until then I will keep looking for a better solution.

    my phone damage my housing  how to change ,and have warranty

    The warranty is voided by physical damage to the phone. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple in countries where it's offered for US$269. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store or contact Apple Care.

  • I want to use my phone at the house -- no signal

    Can I use the WiFi (Internet) for phone service if I don't have AT&T service at the house?

    If you have a weak signal at home, you could try one of the amplifier devices like this:

    There are several different brands. They cost a few hundred dollars and I have no idea if they work well or not.

  • Door phone, coverage path

    Hi, I am configuring an analog push button door phone that I want to follow a certain call path until someone answers. I come from a traditional PBX environment where I had this implemented succesfully with time-of-day coverage paths (Avaya terms).
    I have the phone hotdialing a number when the button is pushed, I just need a point in the right direction so that I can get the DN to follow a certain path until a user amswers. This path will change based on the time of day also.
    Example: Push button - extension 100 rings, no answer - ring extension 200, etc. After 5 pm? then ring extension 300, then 400 so on.
    Thanks for your help.
    Dave

    Assuming u have CM 4.1 or later.
    TOD routing is possible with partitions, time periods and time schedules.
    1. Configure extension 100 with call forward no answer set to 200. so if 100 doesnt answer, 200 will ring.
    2. Define a time period in Callmanager, say its called as BusinessHours (M-F, 8am-5pm). 3. Add this time period to a time schedule. 4. Apply this time schedule to a partition that you define, say its called DoorPhonePn. So partition DoorPhonePn is active only during M-F, 8am-5pm.
    5. Create a second partition say DoorPhoneBackupPn. You may or may not define a time schedule for this pattern.
    6. Set Call Forward No Answer on extn 300 to ring extn 400. So if 300 doesnt answer, 400 rings.
    7. When you setup a Plar in Callmanager, you have to define a null translation pattern. For TOD to work with Plar, you will need to define two null translation patterns.
    8. Put Null translation pattern 1 in DoorPhonePn partition
    9. Set Null translation pattern 1 to translate to extn 100.
    10. Put Null translation pattern 2 in DoorPhoneBackupPn
    11. Set Null translation pattern 2 to translate to extn 300.
    12. Make sure the translation patterns have a CSS that has access to the partitions in which extn, 100 and 300 are.
    13. Create a new CSS, called DoorPhoneCSS and list the partitions in this order.
    DoorPhonePn
    DoorPhoneBackupPn
    During business hours, DoorPhonePn is active
    So it will plar to 100.
    After hours, DoorPhoneBackupPn is active, So it will plar to 300.
    Here is a link on how to setup basic plar.

  • TS1538 i have done everything... It was detecting it just fine until I updated itunes.  I am getting so frustrated with apple that I am about to get rid of all 5 phones in my house and the 2 ipads.

    I updated itunes and now my computer won't detect the phone.  I had to travel 2 hours to goto Apple store that tells me that there is nothing wrong with my battery- I just need to restore the phone.  Well I have tried and the phone wont restore.  I was told by apple representative to update itunes.  I did that an not it won't detect the phone.  I am so frustrated.  My phone won't charge hardly at all and it dies on me like every minute.  I have reset the phone and eventually it turns back on like I never reset it even thought I got the screen that says connect to itunes.  This phone is jacked and I believe I am getting the run around so the warranty runs out.  Someone help!  I have done all the troubleshooting and it's not working.

  • IPhone 3g phone coverage

    Wow. Had an iPhone original. 1 bar at home. Just got a new 3g phone. 5 bars at home all the time. Woo Hoo! Had no idea the 3g network would improve phone reception too. Did they not mention that in the ads??? Or was I just not paying attention???

  • I have 4 bars on my phone in the house but cannot send or receive texts.

    The last few days I've had trouble sending and receiving texts even though I have between 3 and 4 bars. I have also just tried logging into my account and it told me it didn't recognise my email (it hasn't changed for years) so I go to register and it tells me there is already an account. 

    Hi 
    What type of device are you using?
    Also are you connected to Wi-Fi at the time?
    If you click the Forgotten Details link on My Account and follow the steps. If this doesn't work you would need to Contact Us so customer services can reset your My Account.
    Thanks. 

  • How do I find out the phone number in a new house?

    I have recently moved into a new student house and I am struggling to set up the Internet because I cannot retrieve the landline number from the previous tenants plus we don't have a phone at the house either. Is there a way I can find out the landline number online? Help!

    17070 is normally allowed on stopped lines, as it enables field engineers to do pair identification. Sometimes 1470 needs to be added as a prefix, if the number was withheld.
    Where possible, old phone lines are left with "soft" dial-tone, as it saves extra work when a new line is provided, and encourages new customers.
    Some service providers insert a recorded announcement if someone tries to dial out. "Welcome to XXXX service provider, please dial XXX to activate this line"  or something similar.

  • 3G switching back to EDGE because of poor ATT coverage major battery drain?

    I have the orig iPhone, my friend cam to my office today with the 3G iPhone. We kinda marked off all the areas that the 3G would drop and EDGE pick up. The 3G phone basically had more areas that it did not have coverage than it did. Every time the phone would re-scan, and EDGE would pop back up. It probably dropped to EDGE 20 times as we walked different areas over lunch. After seeing that 3G does not have good coverage anywhere by my house or office I think I will wait for the 3G coverage to get better... I am in Orange County So Cal, was thinking the coverage would be perfect?? Also, it seems all the back & forth with the phone trying always to be on 3G when the coverage is poor drained the battery to 20% in a 2 hour period, with push off, screen down, wifi off local settings off.
    Anybody have any benchmarks on the amount of draining happens during the phone trying to always scan for a 3G connection?

    While I don't have any true benchmarks, I can say that I've tested the battery life with personal usage both with 3G on and 3G off for a day to see what was up with my extremely poor battery life. I can say that turning 3G off made a huge difference for me. It increased the battery life of my iPhone 3G to about what it was with my original iPhone. I can say that I'm probably getting roughly 1.5x - 2x the battery life I was with 3G enabled by just turning it off.
    With 3G on but little to no coverage, the phone is ramping up the work it's doing to try to obtain and keep that connection. If it's just not available, you'll definitely see the phone's battery draining faster than normal as it tries to acquire signal. Remember the days of poor phone coverage in general? Phones drained batteries in much the same way.
    Sure, it ***** to turn 3G off since it's something that I'm basically paying for but I'd much rather have a phone that makes it through an entire day of usage rather than one I'm finding I have to be careful about how much I use it just so I don't have to charge it twice in one day. It's more desirable to me to be able to use my phone for a longer period of time than to have a fast data connection. Besides, WiFi isn't as big of a battery drainer as the 3G connection is so I'm perfectly content with switching that on if I need fast web access. Also, there's nothing stopping me from turning 3G back on when I'm in a good coverage area (basically anywhere outside around here... I'm in Orange County, too) at which point the battery performance is better anyway.

  • Coverage

    I'm very upset lately with the coverage that I'm receiving from Verizon.  For this company to be the #1 covered area in the US you would figure we wouldn't have so many dropped calls.  Recently my husband and I had to buy a booster for our home just to use our phones in our house.  This is nuts. Seeing that 95% of American's use cell phones as their main source of communications you would think we wouldn't drop so many calls.  I'm so frustrated with this company right due to this lack of coverage.  I feel that Verizon should reimburse us for this booster. 

    Coverage isn't guaranteed inside of buildings. Can you make calls outside of your home?

  • How do I make my phone reconnect to the data network?

    I'm in an area that's allegedly full 3G coverage (40324 zip code), plenty of red on the map. But inside the office, I barely see one bar of phone coverage, and if I'm lucky I get 1x data connectivity.
    I'd be fine with this if the data connection stayed stable throughout the workday. It doesn't, and I have to fully power my LG Vortex off and back on to get it to try and reconnect. There doesn't seem to be any other way of making the phone try and pick up the data connection again. I'm doing this multiple times a day.
    If I go outdoors, the phone won't automatically reconnect then either, even though it gets a 3G connection when I power cycle it. Is there any way other than shutting down and restarting to force the phone to try and make a data connection again?

    I'm the OP and I never marked this as solved. There is no option under Options to select "Not the solution" that I can see.
    Anyway, as I noted above, enabling global roaming for all trips seems to have corrected the issue where the data connection drops and could only be reestablished by power cycling the phone. That solution came from a separate thread. I appreciate everyone's feedback.

  • FiOS Phone and Internet down for 2 weeks

    Inbound calls: system answers with loud crackling noise, phones ring once. Sometimes the calls get sent directly to voicemail
    Outbound calls: fast busy on off-hook, sometimes you can't break dialtone
    Internet service: slows down significantly
    The ONT has been replaced at least 5 or 6 times, the router 3 times, and the office equipment once. The problem still recurs even if all the phones in the house have been disconnected.
    I believe the problems are  consistent with a high data error rate. This would also explain why Internet is currently working while the phone is offline.Voice traffic is less tolerant of high data error rates, while Internet traffic can tolarate a few dropped packets.This high error rate could be caused by problems with the fibre drop: too small bending radus, contamination, etc.
    We thought that there may be a problem with rain getting into some of the fibre splices but the last tech checked and found that all connections were dry.
    There have been at least 10 different techs here and they've all come to the same conclusion: that there is a problem with the fibre drop to the house.
    Any ideas (before we switch to Comcast)?

    I would have to agree the problem lies in the fiber connection.  Since various VZ folks agree do they plan to replace the fiber connection from the pole to the house?  Seems like the next logical step.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (All-in-One) - Incoming Fax but mistakenly answer phone

    I have landline phone service.  On this line, I have multiple phones, an answering machine, internet service via wireless Uverse setup, and the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus as a fax.  It's also a printer/scanner - but that uses the wireless Uverse service.
    The unit works as a phone, if I answer in fewer than 4 rings.  The answer machine picks up after 4 rings.  If a fax, the fax connects after 6 rings.  (Auto answer function is turned on.)  This works.
    If I mistakenly answer a fax call with the phone that the HP 8600 is connected through, I can press: 1,2,3 and the fax will answer.  This works.
    Problem: If I mistakenly answer a fax call from one of the other phones in the house (same phone line is ringing as before - but the phone is NOT the one through which the HP 8600 is connected) - 1,2,3, does NOT work.  If I rush to the HP 8600: pressing the "fax" button on the unit does not connect the fax call; nor does the HP 8600 give me the option to "Accept" the call, when the phone as been answered. 
    Does anyone know what buttons to push to get the fax to connect when the phone line is answered at a phone?  Either at the answered phone OR if I can get to the HP 8600 when I hear the fax tone - buttons I can push on the HP 8600 to get it to respond to the fax tones coming in on the line?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    I see that you have some concerns when it comes to answering a fax call by accident from another phone.  Pressing the 1.2.3 on the fax is the proper way to remedy the issue when you answer from the fax, however this feature will not work from another phone.
    I do realize that this is an inconvenience.  The only resolution would be to contact the sender of the fax and have them resend.
    Thank you for your time.
