Phone won't dial out. Old phone received missed calls yesterday instead of my new phone.

Current phone suddenly won't dial out. Yesterday my old phone (which I use for WiFi only and which has not been activated for about 1 year) started receiving calls instead of my current phone. I was not around to answer them, but they only registered as missed calls on my old phone.
Today I tried making a call and my current phone won't dial out--trying to dial any number just gives me silence and then it disconnects after 30 seconds or so. I tried dialing out on the old phone, but it gives me a roaming message and wants me to either buy a calling PIN or call collect to dial out. On my current phone I can still use data/internet fine and I think texting still works (tested by texting my own number and I received the text).
I've tried powering off the old phone for a while and then restarting the new phone, but it didn't help... I can't call verizon since I can't dial out and its saturday night so it looks like their chat is offline..
How can I fix this? Help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately *611 does not work -- like all numbers I try to dial, it goes to the "dialing" screen then does nothing for about 30 seconds, then it disconnects.
*228 Brings up a message box that says "a verizon wireless sim card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities. Your phone number is [my number]" The problem is not fixed however.
I should also clarify that I have been using my old phone for wifi/mp3 playing just fine for the past 1 year without experiencing this problem ever before. My current/newer phone has been working fine right next to it all that time. I did just pull my old SIM card out of my old phone just now in case that might help (should have done that a long time ago). I also removed the battery. That was several hours ago, still having the problem after rebooting the new phone and testing many times.
Using another person's phone I have now verified that I can't make or receive any calls on my new phone, but I can send and receive text messages as well as use mobile data/internet. The newer phone is an LG G2 and the old phone is a Galaxy Nexus if that matters.
Thanks for the help so far

    Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

    What phones do you have (old and new?)  If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
    Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

  • Fax won't dial out

    Fax on my eMac won't dial out. The dial tone keeps sounding till the operator requests that I hang up & try the call again

    One other thought...
    Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    And drag Internal Modem to the bottom.

  • I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

    I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

  • Why I am being charged for receiving missed calls in Argentina?

    I have received charges for receiving missed calls which doesn't seem right as I am not answering them, knowing I will get charged. Not happy about this as my bill is much higher than expected. And my bill states I have called my Voicemail on 3 occasions which again is not correct. Can any one help? I cannot call EE as I will be charged as well. 

    If you leave your voicemail turned on when you roam abroad outside the EU, any missed calls you may get, the caller will be diverted to your voicemail as normal.  However, as the voicemail platform is located in the UK, when roaming with your handset outside the EU, this in turn will always generate an international call back to the UK.
    Those calls to voicemail you are seeing on your bill are these automatic diverts.
    It's always advisable to turn off your voicemail when roaming to stop this from happening.
    Details here with instructions on how to turn off your voicemail diverts.

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • My new phone will not register my new apple id.. it will only pick up my old id, and I cant do anything to my new phone cause it keeps asking for the password to the old id!

    how do get my new phone to register my new apple id when it keeps coming up with old id, but i can reset anything off the old id, cant even restore the phone cause it keeps using the old id!

    All content bought using an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    If you want only to use the new Apple ID, you need to delete all apps, music & books with the old Apple ID and repurchase with the new Apple ID.

  • I backed up my old phone to my computer, but how do i get all the info onto the new phone

    i got my new phone.  i backed up the old phone onto the competer.  everything is in itunes.  but when i plugged the new phone and did the sync it didnt back up any newer stuff.  just older stuff.  i dont wanna lose any pics or info.  its acting as if there two different phones and not syncing the old phones info from the computerto the new iphone

    iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone.  Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save?  Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone.  If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first.  After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.

  • HT201269 I accidently used the old iPhone 4s, and did not set as a new phone for my 5, now I dont know how to fix it

    I got a new phone last month. I just tried to sync it to my computer and I forgot to click on new account,, it synced with my old phone now I dont know how to get my new phone info in here

    Hey philly rose,
    It sounds like you accidentally restored your new iPhone 5 with the backup of your iPhone 4S. If you want to return the iPhone 5 to factory settings, and have the option to setup as new, you'll want to restore it with iTunes (omitting the steps about backing up and restoring from backup):

  • TS2755 I am having a problem with getting notified when I receive a call or a text.  My phone will not ring or vibrate.

    I am having a problem with getting notified when I receive a call or a text.

    Hi BigBroMAC,
    The first thing I would check is Do Not Disturb mode, as this will cause that behavior:
    iOS 6: Using Do Not Disturb
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
    If that isn't the issue, this article has slightly different symptoms but the troubleshooting would be the same:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Before you do step 10, however, I recommend resetting all settings to see if that helps.  To do that, choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    I hope this helps!

  • Recently upgraded to iOS7.0 on my iPhone 4s. The Phone app is not showing any 'all' or 'missed' calls under the Recents icon.

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7. I noticed that when I place calls or receive calls there Phone app - under Recents does not show any calls under 'all' or 'missed' calls.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • TS4036 i got replacement phone for faulty i-phone 5... new phone would not use wizard as i cloud back-up was  ios-7 and new phone needed upgrade first.  now what.  I've been using phone over christmas and have a few christmas pics, etc. that I don't want

    Hi, 
    New here, trying to restore my i phone 5 to newly refurbished i phone 5 and couldn't do it w/ wizard.  old phone had OS-7  new  came with OS-6... wouldn't let me restore from cloud without same operating system.
    Installed os-7 only option then was "new device"  which closed wizard and welcomed me to new phone.
    on settings I see my old i phone in cloud
    since I've added new contacts, pics.... (got it Christmas eve)
    I'm guessing somehow I need to save pics to computer;
    backup contacts etc to new device
    restore old i phone back up then somehow get contacts and pics only back on new device...
    am i on right track or is there an easier/better way?
    don't know how to do last step - w/o replacing majority of contacts
    Thank you,
    Maid Marian, II

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck
