Calls dropping and phones not ringing.

I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for years. I have an Iphone 4 and my husband has an IPhone 5c. We haven't had problems until recently when for both of us calls have frequently started dropping at home, and both our phones also frequently don't ring with calls going directly to voicemail. That happens both at home and away from home. We live in the 07760 zip code.

In addition, I sometimes can't make calls from home. With the connection failing before the phone ever rings.

Something has to have changed for it to be affecting both of us. We've updated our software, updated the network. Done every fix we could think of but nothing helps.

Thanks.

CoachDonna,

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the dropped calls. Do the iPhones have cases on them? If so, does the problem persist with the cases removed? How many bars (or circles) do you see on the iPhones? Try resetting the network settings and let us know if you see any improvement: http://vz.to/1krEcZ6 .

Hello Brian,

Reset the phones. Still only ringing randomly and mostly going straight to

voicemail. Calls still dropping like crazy.

Seems like you are suffering from the same issue many of us have reported. Are you seeing 1x or 3G? It seems the last couple of weeks things have improved for us, but has been bad for over 2 months.

Try this.

Settings-Do No Disturb

Make sure its set to off.

Also make sure receive calls from everyone is selected.

Settings-Cellular

Check that its set for CDMA LTE and not Global.

After all these are checked or adjusted simply hold down the on/off button to restart the phones.

Good Luck

CoachDonna

Trying it now. Fingers crossed.

Didn't work. :smileysad: Googling more. The support site didn't address the issues.

Hi CoachDonna,

Oh no! Sorry to hear that did not work. Do you have cases on the devices? How many bars of signal strength do you have when this issue occurs? Have you tried dialing *228 and selecting option 2?

Thanks,
