Thanks Nicci...I think you'll find if you read a few back in the thread that this issue has been resolved as far as I'm concerned.

For the most part the Extender appears to be working OK with the latest firmware installed.  All of my test calls worked fine.  However, I was running errands today and when I came back I did a test call from my landline and it did not work.  I let my phone ring 3-4 times and did not get a “missed call” message.  I looked at my phone and it was cycling between NO SERVICE, then three bars, two bars, one bar, then back to NO SERVICE with my phone sitting on a table about 10 feet from the Extender.  This occurred several times.  Then after about 10 minutes I was automatically reconnected with the Extender and my test call worked fine. 

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I am so sorry to hear that your device took a few minutes to connect to the Network Extender when arriving back home. Lets get this figured out. Are any other devices having an issue with connecting to the Extender After leaving and coming back in range? Did you try dialing #48 when back home?  What make and model phone do you have? -Al

When I woke up this morning, my phone was not connected to the extender.  Upon arriving home last night, I did not check to see if it connected automatically when in reach.  I rebooted the phone after determining that it had not connected and after the reboot, the phone then connected to the extender.  Samsung Galaxy 10 with latest firmware.  This has happened before!

To my knowledge, I am unaware of any missed calls but still testing new firmware.

FYI - Verizon techincal support spoke with the Extender manufacturer, Askey, today and you can not add a Verizon Prepaid customers number to the Extender "closed" or "hybrid" list.  Very disappointing.

If you try to enter a Prepaid number you receive the message "Your changes cannot be saved due to system error. Please try again later."
