    Phone won't make outbound calls. can't call verizon support. this after being on hold for 17 minutes in an attempt to fix voicemail notification. this is a nightmare and Verizon is unreachable. Any way to get Verizon wireless to fix my service when they can't be called (because their phone service doesn't work)?

    Well 1, I guess it's not that important to you, 2, customer support generally closes at 11pm in the time zone you are in, 3, toll free and local calls are free in hotels, 4 there is limited support after hours.

  • My phone doesn't make sounds in the lock screen and won't take calls

    Hi, for the past 2days my phone no longer plays the alert tone in the lock screen for text messages, calender events, facebook events, voicemail atert etc however does if the phone is unlocked and I am using it. Also, nobody can call me without it going straight to voicemail however if they call a second time then they can get through and it rings.
    I cannot find a thread where anybody else had a similar problem.
    I have turned everything and off a couple of times and have checked that everything is on (i never turned it off) and have done a hard reset. All I can think off is to completely restore my phone to factory setting but I don't want to lose all my stuff!
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks everyone!

    Do you have Do Not Disturb enabled?
    Have you checked the position of the Mute switch on the left side above the volume buttons?

  • Won't make sounds or vibrate. PLEASE HELP

    I unplugged my iphone from my computer and tried to call someone. It wouldn't make any sound; no ringing tone, nothing. So i tried to play a song, it acted like it was playing but no sound came out. i checked all the settings and nothing is turned off or muted. It won't vibrate either. i restored it three times both from the iphone and from the computer. I've restarted it countless times to no avail. i've plugged headphones, computer, and music dock in but nothing makes a sound. PLEASE HELP!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If these steps fail to fix the issue, you'll need to go to Apple for evaluation.

  • My phone won't make/receive calls after porting number over.

    I bought and activated a prepaid phone.  It worked fine until the number I was wanting to keep got ported in.  Now it won't let me make or receive phone calls.  I have been on the phone with them for an hour now and keep getting routed around..........I have removed the SIM card multiple times (per their instructions).  Can anyone provide help with this?

    I have been on the phone numerous times with customer service.  The problem lies with the fact that our phone says Roaming when we make a call.  It then wants us to add funds with a credit card.  But we paid for the one-month unlimited talk/text plan.  It has only been 7 days.  We have been told different things with each phone call. 1)our phone is bad.  2) We need to go to Walmart or similar and buy a verizon sim card (This is a brand new Verizon prepaid phone, why do we have to buy a sim card?)  3) Take it to the local Verizon store (which, by the way, does not handle or even know what to do with prepaid phones).  4)We've been told we have no service here.  (Texts seem to come through fine, as does the 4G.  Also, there have been a few times it does not say roaming when I want to make a call, and it works just fine.  This has happened twice in 4 days.  And only for the 2 phone calls.).  I have a prepaid Verizon Motorola Luge phone.  Phone number from tracfone was ported over on Thursday (3 days ago.)  We are unsure whether the ported number caused the problem, but we made 2 calls before that, and it went through fine for them, so we do have suspicion that the porting caused the problem.  I would guess it has something to do with the cell tower not working with the ported number somehow.

  • My phone won't make or receive calls or send text messages after the iOS 8.1.1 update.

    My phone will no longer make or receive calls and I can't text after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1.  I've tried everything except chucking the phone out the window.  Any ideas?  I have reset it multiple times, turned it off and back on, reset the network settings, reset all settings, toggled the airplane mode switch, and done a complete factory restoration.  What else is there to do?  I can't get a new phone for another year.

    My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

  • Verizon provided me with a defective phone, won't make it right.

    Okay, here's the scoop.  I purchased my X online, received it on August 9.  Purchased a combo case/holster and screen protectors the next day from a Verizon store.  The day after (Aug 11), I noticed that my camera button was missing, even though I had not taken a single picture (was too busy playing with all of the other doo-dads!).  Went to a Verizon store, and they immediately ordered my a replacement, which arrived the very next day.  Great, right?  Well, almost.
    As soon as I powered up the new replacement phone, I noticed that the backlight on the "home" button wasn't working.  The backlight for the other 3 hard buttons (menu, back, search) worked fine, just not the "home" button.  Now comes the kicker:  According to the paperwork that came with my "new" replacement phone, I am only allowed ONE new replacement during that first 30 day period.
    So let me get this straight...I pay $200 for the latest & greatest phone.  It breaks in less than 2 days.  They replace it quickly (yay!), but the replacement is defective from the very beginning (boo!), and I'm {word filter avoidance}
    ?  So now I can only get it replaced under warranty with a "refurbished" unit?  I actually suspect that the first replacement WAS a refurbished unit, not new.
    Luckily, the phone works and the lack of back-lighting on the "home" button is more of an inconvenience than anything, but I am still not a happy camper.  Especially after being a Verizon Wireless customer for nearly 20 years now with 5 phones total on a family plan!  IMO, I should have a comletely "working" "new" phone in my hands, as that is what I thought I was purchasing less than 30 days ago.

    Yes, but since they already replaced it once, they will only replace it this time with a "refurbished" unit, not new.  And of course, they have nothing in stock, so they would have to ship the "refurbished" one out as well (which doesn't bother me at all...I just feel that I should be getting a new one, not "refurbished").

  • Won't Send Texts and Now Won't Make Calls... Claims No Service

    The other day my phone wasn't sending text messages, I could recieve them and make calls but no one was getting my messages I sent to them.  I've had this problem before and it would usually just correct itself, annoying, but it would.  Well it went on for two full days so I called and did the *228 and reprogrammed my phone.  And yes, I tried taking out the battery also and it didn't work.  It seemed to work after the reprogramming though.  Then the next morning, today, not only did my phone not send messages, after it had been working just fine, but it would not make calls either.  I couldn't even dial *228 without the call being dropped.  A message pops up every few minutes saying messages couldn't be sent and would be sent once service became available.  My phone has no service whatsoever, bars pop up for a second or two and then goes back to absolutely ZERO service.  This is very strange considering I live in a pretty decent service area, have never had issues with it before, and everyone else around here has Verizon as well and haven't had any issues.  On top of this, with my phone constantly searching for service, the battery ran out a lot faster than normal so I turned my phone off, since it was pretty much useless anyways.  Well, good thing I did because while it was one it was sending the text message I sent to my boyfriend this morning, before I'd realized my phone was having issues, over and over.  He recieved well over 100 duplicate messages.  And even when I turn my phone back on it keeps sending the message to him... even though on my end it still says no service and that none of my texts from today have sent and will be sent when service becomes available.  I called Verizon today and the woman I spoke with, while very nice, seemed clueless about my issue and tried to walk me through some troubleshooting she was just reading off of something and she herself didn't even know what she was telling me to do or what the benefit of it was.  When I finally said I was on my break at work and had to get back inside, she informed me she was just going over the basic troubleshooting and I could talk to Tech Support and they could further assist me.  I didn't have any time to stay on the phone then since it had already been 20 minutes that got me nowhere.  My issue now is I don't have a phone to even call Tech Support to try and figure out what's going because I was using a friends at work.  So long story short, my phone claims to not be able to send any messages but has sent over 100 messages to my boyfriend (and God knows who else who just hasn't told me), my phone won't make any calls without dropping them after a second, and my phone has no service even in good service areas... and all of these issues just came out of nowhere and my phone is pretty much unusable at the moment.  What I want to know is if there is anyway to fix this problem... or if I am just going to have to suck it up and get a new phone?  Thank you, I definitely appreciate the help.

    Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
    Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".

  • My phone is on silent but my camera still makes sound how do I turn that off ?

    I have an iPhone 6 and i turned all my phone onto silent and there's no sound what so ever but once I take a picture it makes sound how do i turn it off it won't stop every time I take a picture !

    Hello Taniaaychan,
    If your iPhone is muted using the Ring/Silent switch on the side of your iPhone and you're still hearing the shutter sound, this function may be disabled.
    Adjust the volume of the shutter sound with the Ringer and Alerts settings in Settings > Sounds. Or mute the sound using the Ring/Silent switch. (In some countries, muting is disabled.)

    So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack  allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

    Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.
