VZW customer of 14 years. Samsung S20+ purchased from a reseller brand new sealed, clean IMEI. No issues activating, paid in full, account in good standing, no fraud reports, no back payments owed, nothing - active for 4 solid years. You couldn't ask for a more angelic and quiet customer.

Sim Card and Phone Hacked twice in 3 months!
My passwords kept telling me they were wrong, 2 step factor not working either. Not getting emails, calls or texts. It got worse and worse. I had to write down my accounts and passwords. It could take 20 minutes or more just to long into one email account. More and more it got worse. Apps and email accounts would just be…

Receiving blurry photos all of a sudden in May 2024
All of a sudden the photos I receive via text are blurry on my S21. The word on Reddit is it's a Verizon issue. Perhaps a Verizon/Samsung issue. It's happening across Android devices - regardless of age - on old and new phones, fancy and less fancy. What can we do?
S23 will not connect to both of my Signia hearing aids at the same time.
I have TruHearing hearing aids that are manufactured by Signia. I have tried every suggestion found in an attempt to get both hearing aids connected via bluetooth at the same time. I can only get one connected or the other. I have cleared the cache in network settings, I have tried the app from both TruHearing and Signia.…
Volume turns down on it's own randomly
The volume on my phone will turn itself down when watching videos, listening to music and (specifically) when I get a notification from TikTok. It is the equivalent of pressing the volume down button twice. This only happens when the phone is at full volume. It doesn't do this when connected to Bluetooth or another device.…
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Known Issue
I have had a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra for 2+ years now. The phone has no damage and until a week ago had no issues. Then suddenly, I have NO service.

Can't Complete Calls to AT&T Customers
Recently I cannot complete phone calls to any of my contacts who's carrier is AT&T AND have a 215 area code. When I attempt to call them the phone goes from dialing to call ended.

One UI 6.1 Update for the Verizon Galaxy S21 Ultra
Hello, I am wondering if System Update 46 for the Verizon Galaxy S21 Ultra will bring One UI 6.1, and whether it'll come out in late March or in April. It will not receive Galaxy AI with One UI 6.1, and S22 won't either.
S20FE no longer connects to 5G network
I have an S20FE phone that worked on 5G until this past week. Two days ago I noticed my indicator was for 4G LTE, and the area I was in has a Verizon tower within a couple hundred of feet from where I was. I reached out to the local store, a 5G tower is nearby, could only connect at a 4G LTE level. It is seeing something,…
Samsung S20 FE 5G UW software update killed Voicemail app.
I need to report a software issue. My Samsung S20 FE 5G UW received a Verizon update to software version G781VSQU2DUB5 last night (March 1st), and it seems to have killed my Voicemail app. The voicemail now just crashes every time I open it, and occasionally shows the error "Voicemail stopped working." I do not see a way…
Samsung S23 Ultra Voicemail Issue
Voicemail app on my Samsung S23 Ultra is not working properly. It does not give me notifications of new voicemails, unless I manually refresh it, but that doesn't always work either. I have to call *86 to hear if I have any new messages. I do not have subscription to the Premium Visual Voicemail, as I don't care for it.…

Trying to open a mobile hotspot and getting error "To use Mobile Hotspot, you'll need to subscribe to the Mobile Hotspot service."

s24+ MMS messages not sending or taking forever to send
MMS Messages on my s24+ either wont send or take forever to send. My wife and I have been having this issue for a few months. Every few MMS messages will result in the message either not being sent or take forever (40-80 minutes) to send. The errors happen randomly (some from just a simple text, some from a photo, some…
Add Contact or Block from Recent Call List
I'm almost certain that I used to be able to long-press on a recent caller and get a menu to "add to contacts", "Block Caller" etc. Today a long-press on a recent call produces a check mark (Selected) and the trash can icon. I really need to add a recent caller to my contacts and block another one. I hope it's not the…
Can't use Verizon features (video calling/RCS) with Unlocked S24 Ultra
Has anyone gotten any useful feedback? I recently purchased a 1 TB S24 Ultra, and I am unable to use the video chat feature, can't see read receipts or if messages were delivered. I am super annoyed!! I was told by a rep a local Verizon store during the pre-order promotion I would have to purchase my phone from Samsung to…
MMS Texting Issues
I am so very very tired of this problem and waiting for Verizon to fix it. This has been an ongoing problem for many many years, and its ridiculous. This has occurred in the last 3-4 phones I have had, I believe S7 though, now, brand new S10e If too many MMS messages get sent (and received??), either group or picture, in…
No message log available for this line.
Up until today I could login to my verizon account and check to see who my son has been texting. He had quite a few texts this month, so I wanted to double check the numbers he is texting with. Today when I go to Account -> Usage -> Usage Overview it says You've used 0 minutes and 0 messages. The billing cycle does not end…
Calling from Cruise Port
We are taking a 7 day Caribbean Cruise, including stops in Puerto Rico and St Thomas, which are included in my US calling plan. How can I be sure that I am connecting to a cell tower at the port and not to the cruise ship, so I can avoid the Pay-As-You-Go rates of $2.99/minute on the ship? Do I need to be off the ship and…

I changed my number last week to be effective today. I am pretty sure I have done all the resets, etc I was supposed to do but I am not receiving OTP verification texts for Amazon and other apps when trying to update my number.
Not receiving mms "Network error occured"
Today, I started having issues receiving media text messages on my Samsung 21FE. Messages require download and fail on the download. I've also had to retry multiple times to send media messages.

Galaxy s21 ultra suddenly doesn't support hotspot?! Really?!
A few months ago I used my unlocked galaxy s21 ultra. It suddenly stopped working, stating I had to upgrade my plan. I proceeded to do so and now pay an extra 15 dollars a month for this privilege. Now it is no longer working, and this time verizon help assistants are simply saying my phone doesn't support mobile hot spot…
Call Filter not working
I purchased an unlocked note 20 and after setting everything up my call filter doesn't want to work. When I go into the app it tells me to subscribe and when I press the button it says "Can't connect to the server". I tried reinstalling the app and reset my phone. Every other verizon app works except call filter. It says…
