Why won't my phone roam consistently in Mexico?

My iPhone 5 keeps searching for a signal (in Mexico) after working fine earlier today and yesterday. Have reset network settings and restarted....issue remains.  Help!

Call Verizon and have them straighten it out.  I had a similar problem about 3 years ago and it took Verizon and AT&T network technicians to fix it.  Had something to do with how my number (originally ported from Cingular/AT&T) was provisioned and how Verizon and AT&T handed off text at a certain point/server.  I provided addresses and showed them that the problem did not happen for my son's identical phone.

  • HT1766 Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--it spends hours saying "Backup in progress" and then it just fails?!

    Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?!  I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?

    I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
    Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!)

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • Why won't my phone charge properly

    It will charge to about 10 15% then the little plug icon to show its fully charged pops up instead of the lightening bolt I took it into the store to get it checked and they said there is nothing wrong with it the tech just restored it witch I did at home before taking it into the store to get it checked I was very amazed the he couldn't find anything wrong when I got it home I plugged it in to fully charge the battery and to my amazement it charged ok for a bit then seem to get stuck at 87% for about an hr or so I then unplugged it and plugged it back in to get the plug icon again I then did this several more times and it popped up to say it is fully charged I have ruled out the charger and the cable as I have tried 2 of each .  The service tech said that the restore they do in the shop is different than the one we can do at home I am wondering why this is so too and did he tell me something to make me stop asking questions about the phone that he could not answer . If anyone can help it would be a big help thanks heaps

    If you are charging with your computer switch to the wall charger. It can supply twice the current.
    But the real problem is something on your phone that is using power faster than the charger can replenish it. You need to find what it is and fix it. If you have an MS Exchange email account that is the likely cause. Go into Settings for it and turn off all of the switches, reboot your iPhone and see if the problem is solved. If it is, turn the switches back on.
    If that is not the problem go to Settings/General/Background Apps Refresh and turn it off. Then reboot the phone again. If this solves the problem turn it back on, and turn off individual apps until you find the offender

  • HT4623 Why won't my phone activate?

    I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS7 and my phone won't "activate" over cellular data OR wifi.

    Probably becuase millions of people are trying to update and activate their phones at the same time.
    Try restarting the phone, then try again. I had the error for a while earlier, but after trying over and over, it finally worked.
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why won't my phone send text messages but I can receive them?

    I have the iphone 5 and I updated my phone to the ios7. Within the past few days I have not been able to send text messages as imessages but I can receive them. When I try to send a message it will freeze at 95% and it wont go through. I even have 5 bars and I am connected to wifi when I send them. I reset my network settings but there was no change. Is there a way to fix this? A few of my friends have also expereinced this problem.

    From my original reply, "Why did you change your SIM card?" Did you change carriers, was there a problem with the original SIM, did you change plans?
    The iPhone has no settings for SMS. SMS is a carrier feature, call them back and have them check the provisioning on your account. If this SIM change caused the problem, it has nothing to do with the phone.

  • Why won't 5 networked Emacs consistently appear with userlist?

    Hi,
    I have 5 emacs running 10.4.7 (also occurred on 10.4.6) as a part of 30 networked imacs in a school computer lab. The won't consistently come up with the userlist, except when you delete the cache files.
    The network settings appear to be identical between machines and I even recabelled the lab to try and eliminiate the problem - didn't work - looks nice though! Swapping and replacing the switches didn't help either.
    Can anyone come up with a reliable solution?

    miriammac,
    Are the eMacs on a separate subnode? That the eMacs do show up after deleting cache files suggests this question would get a more intellegaent reply in the Server or the Tiger Networking forums.

  • Why won't my phones won't sync to my itunes?

    I have recetly tried to sync my iphone 4 to my itunes. When I connect it to my computer it won't sync to my itunes. My computer however recognises the camera, but that is all. I have tried absolutley everything to fix the problem. There are no error messages, it just does not work, even when i try file and go to sync it doesn't allow me to do so. This isn't just my phone, it is also my partners old phone and new one, so this makes me believe its my itunes. I have tried updating my itunes, authorising and deauthorising, restarting my phone and computer, changing ports, changing leads, turning off the internet and connecting, but none of these seem to work.
    Can anyone please help me?

  • WHY WON'T MY PHONE WORK?!!?!??:((((

    last night i started the latest update that has been up on my phone for a few weeks now, i figured id start it before i went to sleep since they usually take a while. when i woke up my phone it black and says plug into itunes, so i did, and when it's plugged into itunes it says it detects phone in recovery mode and cant connect unless restored. WHY?! i do not want to have to restore my phone and lose all of my messages, pictures, etc.. i need  my phone fixed ASAP because i use it daily for my business. HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    When you recover your phone you have the option of complete reset or restoring to a previous save if you have been syncing your phone to that computer there should be a recent save including any data that was on it at that time

  • Why won't my phone power up?

    All of a sudden my phone is shutting off by itself.  I was able to eventually turn it back on yesterday and charged it over night thinking that was the problem.  I was out today and left my phone in my vehicle, when I got back to my phone it had shut itself off and will not turn on.  Why is this happening all of a sudden?  This is a problem for me since it's my only phone and I use it for business.  I really don't want a new phone, it took me two years to figure this one out.  HELP!!

    I finally got the phone to power up and expected to see a low battery, but it shows the battery is fully charged.  I don't know if this is due to an update or what, but I'm thinking not since I just checked for updates the other day and the phone said there was none.  I'll keep it plugged into the charger and see if it shuts down again.  It would be nice to know why this is happening all of a sudden and how to fix it for good.

  • Why won't my phone download apps?

    I was trying to download and app and my phone wasnt recognizing that I was trying to do it and it wasnt downloading... HELP?!?!?

    Hi there ghouse_gracie,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Why won't my phone to synch music and apps after ios6 update?

    I have a 3gs and I just updated my phone to ios 6.1.3 - there was an error that happened in the middle of restoring my phone after the update, but all my contacts, photos, email, messages seem to have transfered ok...everything except my music and my apps. However, when I go to sync my phone in itunes, the option to sync is completely greyed out.  I've tried restoring the phone again after itunes prompts me whenever I plug it in, but after selecting "restore from backup" it never gives me an estimated completion time - it's like it's just booting up without actually doing anything. I've tried syncing via wifi but the option to sync is still unavailable. How do I fix this?

    Well you do not have enough space to update to 7.1  You need at least twice as much space as the size of the update file.  You willneed about 3.5Gb  What you could do is make sure youhave a good backup (backup http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766) then transfer any purchases to your computer using itunes.  Connect your phoen to itunes on your computer, select the phone form the left then click on file in the menu bar and then devices and then transfer purchases.  After that you will need to delte more things from your phone.  Looks like it might have to be music and/apps that you have to delet as you have used ablt 5 GB of dat aon your phone.  the apps should be on itunes in your computer and you can sync them back.  camera roll photos will be in the backup. Any other photos that you transferred form the comptuer to your phone should be on your computer and you can sync them back.  Once you have made enough space do the updata  then restore from the backup and then sync /transfer back what you need.

    Open iTunes on you computer plug the phone into it and then try a hard reboot while connecte. To do this hold the power button and the home button down together. The phone will **** down and restart keep holding the buttons until the phone starts back up.
