Hello,
I'm a portuguese vodafone user and i'm using a pre-paid sim card.
My main trouble is that every time i make a call and my balance is under 1€ i get a text message from my network operator saying that my balance is almost over. That wouldn't be a problem if every time i got that message my phone wouldn't switch back to home screen to show a popup. As my phone doesn't have an end call button, i often have to go to the notification bar, select the call from the list of things i have there and end the call. It can be a little messy.
I had this happening in all roms i used and all android phones i used. Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone using, or planning to use, the HTC Touch Cruise on the UK T-Mobile network will very probably need to do a special setup on their device to get voicemail access working properly.
The symptom is that your callers will be able to leave you voicemail messages but you will not be able to pick them up from your phone. When you get a voicemail message you will get the notification but when you press the soft key to access voicemail it will dial the number but you will then get an error message saying "access to this number is barred" and the system will hang up on you.
If you try accessing voicemail by holding down the "1" key or by explicitly dialing the voicemail access number retrieved from the network (probably of the form "+44050<your mobile number minus the leading zero>" or ""+44068<your mobile number minus the leading zero>") you will get the same message. Dialing 222 will work but will also initiate a voicemail setup message each time and however many times you switch your phone on and off to reload the voicemail settings from the network it still won't work.
I just spent 2 days with the very helpful T-Mobile support to sort this out, ultimately getting escalated up two levels in the technical support group, until I got someone who recognised the problem.
The issue is simple to resolve. The problem is that the format of the voicemail access number that the T-Mobile UK network pushes down to the handset is incompatible with the HTC software on the Touch Cruise (and maybe other devices too). The thing the software doesn't like is the "+" at the beginning.
To fix it go to the Settings/Personal/Phone application and click the second tab ("Services"). Now select "Voice Mail and Text Messages" and click "Get Settings...". You should now see a screen with two access numbers populated, one for voicemail and the other for text messages. Both will probably start with "+44". The text message access number is OK so don't mess with that but the voicemail access number won't work with the UK network. Simply replace the "+" with "00" and click OK and then your voicemail should work as you expect.
I haven't tried accessing voicemail outside the UK so it is possible that the above might break your access when roaming and you might need to edit back the "+" when travelling. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with non-UK access and a "0044..." setting rather than the default "+44...", does it dial the UK access number OK?
(Actually, I never looked at the mechanics of accessing voicemail outside the UK, does it still dial the UK number or does the host network automatically push an alternate local access number to your phone when you register with the network?)

Nice on Julian. I bought an Orbit 2 on O2, but my number doesn't transfer to O2 for few days yet, so have been using my T-Mobile SIM, and also experiencing this problem.
Thanks for sharing the tip!
I'm on UK T-Mob Web&Walk. Switched the +44 entry to 0044...but my TC then coundn't send texts. Switched it back and fortunately can still access voicemail as well as send texts. Strange.
I'm with T-mobile running an old T-mobile sim card on my new TC, when first called voice mail it gave me a long introduction then said "turn of your mobile off and on again to not get this messages again", I turned TC to "air plain mode" back to on mode and everything was cool from there on.
It seems that not everyone have that problem OR T-mobile has sort out that problem after Julian told them about the problem. In any case, thanks Julian to share this with us.
PS (today after reading this post is the first time that I use voice mail with my new TC)
Similar problem on WM 6.5 Asus Crystal
I had exactly this problem with T-Mobile and WM 6.5.
T-Mobile technical support was excellent, ringing back on several occasions to ensure that the problem was fixed, even though my handset is not a supported model. Once I was put through to 2nd layer support they fixed it in seconds.
In a nutshell, if you text and voice service centre numbers begin with a +44......, change them to 0044......
This did not happen on my XDA Exec WM5.0, so appears to be a new thing in WM6.5?
Hi I have a problem of the HD2 of outgoing calls when I call someone and when you receive a call, hang up immediately when another call is already so good. I've tried everything I returned the phone to its original state, the operator has examined me several times a SIM card and confirmed to me that everything is correct this error occur with a prepaid SIM cards for lump nikoliv.Při the unsuccessful telephone call to report, beyond the limit of ACM, you do not know where it could be a mistake of which I am unhappy, thanks for any advice.: Mad:
i had this problem. im not sure if this is your case, but when your call automatically hangs up, it means that you're on the other person's blacklist (at least for android). check with that other person and see if thats true
Hi I am from Czech republic your contribution I have translated the translator over because I can not English, but I do not understand could you closer to me I'd be grateful. They thank in advance

Hi, this is not a problem (Blacklist). Suspension call is executed only once after the second attempt, everything ok then it repeats from a certain time delay when ever call. The flat SIM card, this problem does not occur other vůbec.Zkoušel I GO (rechargeable) SIM is still the same.
Hi Blacklist certainly not with repeated calls had everything in order, after a while the error is repeated again. Error occurs only on a prepaid SIM card SIM card to lump everything ok.Myslím think that this is a hardware fault phone when the phone from the Android system playback on Win.Mobile 6.5 and I will bring restoration and lock (SPL), so it's still stejné.Omlouvám behind my lot do not speak English.
Hi people!
So I've had a galaxy s6 for about a month now but recently there has emerged two problems to do with making and receiving calls that have made the phone all but unusable.
1) whenever making calls to an unknown number this (http://imgur.com/DYnZZgF) is the call app that is used, it looks almost CM and I have no idea why is has changed. It doesn't show up in recents or in programs running, if I close it then I can still hear the call through the speaker but I have to restart the phone to get rid of the app.
2) whenever receiving calls from unknown numbers I hear ringing but there is no visual alert (ie nothing comes up on screen) so accepting or declining is impossible and as the call app doesn't exist to get rid of the ringing I have to simply wait until it stops. These calls do appear in the call log which I assume is a different app but the phone app doesn't appear at all.
If anyone can help me with these problems I'd be super grateful, it's making the phone all but unusable..
Thanks in advance!!
Problems Handling Phone Calls (Call Waiting, 3 way, etc.) Verizon S5 on AT&T Network
recently bought a used Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V). It came with the lollipop OS. My service provider is H2O wireless (on the AT&T Network. From the outset, I had problems with phone calls, text messaging.
1. When I'm in a call, I'm not able to dial (Like to enter numbers for automated systems).
*I solved this one by going to:
settings>applications>call>
Scroll down to DTMF tones and change setting to long.
2. When I'm in a call, I'm not able to click over to calls on call waiting. When I do try to click over, I still hear the original call for a few seconds and then both calls drop and I get an error message that says "no sim or invalid sim". If I don't answer the call, both calls drop and I get the same message. The same thing happens if a try to make a 3 way call.
3. If someone calls me and I try to call them back, the call redirects to turn it into an international call and the call doesn't go through.
*I solved this using an app called prefixer
4. If I try to text message someone who called me, I get an error message back saying the phone number is invalid.
I figured I would have to root my phone to be able to make some custom changes. I first had to downgrade to kitkat (android 4.4.2) and root it and then upgrade with root using some very helpful posts and resources found on this site (thanks). When I downgraded, problems 1 and 2 went away (for number 1, I had to change my network mode, but that solution didn't work when I went back to lollipop). After upgrading beack to lollipop, all of these problems were there, though I was able to resolve 2 of them, the other 2 are problematic.
I think theres a problem with the way the phone is handling the AT&T network signal since they have a different type of network from verizon but i don't know.
I'm will in try to install a custom ROM, change settings in service mode, etc. I just haven't come accross any info to point me towards the right instructions. Alternatively, I may trade or sell this phone ant get an AT&T based phone. What do you suggest?
Hi,
I have not been using my OP6 because of a strange issue with it since OOS 10.3.9 (maybe since May 2021)
This issue is: I can not make nor receive normal call with any provider. but my network bar is full and my 4G internet is running smoothly.
If I try to make a call, it just show the call screen, no calling tone and no waiting tone and the other phone doesn't ring.
If I try to call my OP6 from other phones, it just doesn't connect, no call tone no waiting tone... My OP6 also doesn't show any incoming call.
I'm sure my sim cards are OK, I have tried to put them in a different phone and they can make normal call.
If my sim card slots were broken, I would not have any coverage and my 4G wouldn't work...
I can receive SMS just fine.
anybody can help me?
thank you
I had the same issue, at the end oneplus said, bring it to a service center while there plenty or forum posts in their forums from technician saying it's the network chip, i got a new phone but will attempt to replace that chip once i got my replacement.
You could try other stuff, full wipe, other roms etc.
