I have a "Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate" with C-Spire.
I flashed it with the CI500_VZW_EB01_FROYO_REL wich is Verizon and I unlocked it.
The phone still works I can still make calls.
BUT I can no longer send or receive picture messages nor am I able to pick up my internet service.
Is this a tower issue?
Is there a way I can fix this?

I am on the sprint network and have a samsung transform. When i go into roaming where i work, my phone shows that i have full service in roaming. I try to make a phone call it says connecting and then is followed by the screen like i hungup on the person. I try to send a txt and i get error code 97. I had a lg lotus dumb phone and it worked in the exact same area. I contact sprint and they read off the script of basic troubleshooting and then after all of that I got my intercept replaced 3x and then they gave me the transform. I called yesterday and they sent me to the exelations department and told me the phones are designed to do this and that there is nothing they can do for me. Please if anyone knows how to get my phone to work in these areas help... I thought about buying roam control to force my phone into roaming but if i cant call or txt why would i do this? Unless the app would force me on a different tower maybe. It is a very rural area lots of cows and no 3g lol but i should be able to use simple call and txt features right?
I have the T-Mobile Variant and was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I turn on the Wifi calling since my signal is low where I live at. But when I try to send out a Text message, I keep getting an error immediately that it fails to send. So I turned off wifi calling and then the text message goes thru. Weird but was wondering if there is a fix for this? I spoke to a T-Mobile rep and she couldn't figure out the problem either. I do like the Wifi calling feature but if I need to send a text message I have to turn off the wifi calling every time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Based on my research, it comes with the territory. I wish there was a hands off workaround.
I've had the same issue with multiple Samsung phones (Sidekick 4g, s4 and s5), I think it's just one of those little pain in the *ahem* quirks. Super annoying
What's super annoying is it works as it should (text messages through WiFi on sprint) so it has to be something T-mobile did in their implementation.
Hello everyone,
I have this problem since I bought my S6. The thing is that I can't call anyone or text or surf on the internet. It doesnt happen all the time. But when it happens, I need to restart the phone so that I can do these things. It happens when there is no reason. Imagine that I lock my screen. Then I take my phone and want to call or text or surf on the internet, it won't let me. The signal level is ok. I have changed my sim card. There were 2 updates, I installed them but still happens.
Does anyone have this problem?
What are your suggestion? Should I visit Samsung Customer Services?

Sounds like there's something wrong with the phone. I would contact Samsung.
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?
i have a note 5 for sprint (sm-n920p) i have it rooted and unlocked for at&t i flashed the MOAR rom on it. for some reason whenever someone calls me it doesnt recognize who is calling me even if their number is saved and when i try to call back the number that begins with a + sign it doesn't go thru, is this a carrier issue or does anyone know how to fix this?
