Can Not Be Called

I am a Verizon customer in Montgomery County Pa. I have a copper land line and DSL and I can not be called from some Verizon FiOS customers (they get a recording to check the number and try again). I have reported this to Verizon and had one of the FiOS customers report the trouble also. I never receiver a answer from Verizon and the trouble ticket was closed out. The FiOS customer was told by Verizon to use her cell phone to call me. Has anyone else had this problem.

Did you post in multiple forums?

If they are using FIOS Digital Voice, they may have forgotten to include the area code in their dialing. For FDV its needed even for local calls.

Yes they are using the area code. Also these are people how originally were Comcast triple play customers and kept their number when they switched to FiOS.

I'm in York county and having the same issue. I can make outgoing calls but my roommate called my cell phone and said he's tried calling our house number, as well as a friend's house who also has Verizon landline. He described it as giving a "weird busy signal"

That's different then what the OP said, or at least implied. He said others couldn't reach him (outgoing) on their fios phones, and it was suggested they use their cell phones instead.

Unclear if the problem is with the others fios Phone, or some sort of interconnect between phone systems in the Verizon network.

Another weak possibility. Do you perhaps have anonymous call blocking active? And do your callers have all call blocking on?

Another weak possibility ??

No I don not have anonymous call blocking active ... in fact I have the problem whether it is on or off. Also I believe anonymous call blocking only effects incoming calls not outgoing calls.
