[Q] Why does a disconnected phone still make outgoing calls? - General Questions and Answers

I have a Verizon Blackberry that has been sitting in a drawer for 4 years. It was given to me when I was helping someone out with their computer. I am not sure where the phone comes from originally. It was wiped when I received it. The other day, I gave it to my little sister so she could play with it, and she immediately tried calling my phone. The call went through. I haven't ever activated this phone, but it can make outgoing phone calls. All outgoing calls show up as restricted. It can't receive or send text messages. When I try to call the number that the phone says it has, I get a generic voicemail and the phone does not ring. Noone ever answers the number, or calls me back if I leave a message. On outgoing calls the 1 and the area code have to be dialed, otherwise I get an error message saying that this phone is not active at this time. Does anyone have any idea what this phone is or why it still makes outgoing calls?

Bump... any ideas?

[Q] GV call back doesn't ring on outgoing calls.

Using sipgate, gvoice call back and sipdroid with PBXes. Followed guides on the web, but my phone never calls back when I place a outgoing call. The box which asks me to wait 15-20 seconds never goes away. The other phone does sometimes call though, but talking is useless since I never picked up the call.
Anyone else has this problem with NS?

[Q] Help! Stock HTC Inspire not receiving incoming calls or texts

So about 3 days ago my Inspire randomly stopped receiving incoming calls/texts, callers ring out to voicemail and I have no idea anyone has called. Talked with AT&T tech support and found out there are no problems on their end. Also, incoming calls/texts will be received during outgoing calls I make (apparently the calls are routed differently for call waiting). I've tried deleting apps i've downloaded recently and even a factory data reset, still with no luck. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this problem, I would really appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks!

take out SIM
put back in
try SIM swapping with other phone
I am having same problem, randomly not receiving calls if the caller leaves a VM I generally get it later. sometimes my wife will call me on home phone and tell me my cell is not ringing and if I try to call myself it works about half the time, no idea what is causing this.

[Q] Called From My Own Number After Voicemail?

Two or three times now its happened where if someone calls my phone and I miss the call, after they leave a voicemail I get notified of the voicemail, but then my phone starts ringing again instantly and the caller ID shows my own number. If I try to answer that "call" I get silence, then some random number dialing, then it disconnects. Any ideas?
The first time it happened I thought whoever had called just called right back but I missed that call as well. When I looked at my call log, it shows my own number as a missed call. It just happened now as I was sitting at my desk, I didnt answer because I was on my office phone, and just as I got the notification, I got another call from my own number. Seems odd to me...
Anyone else getting this ever?

I could only think this is your phone's way of telling you to check your voicemail. usually, on t-mobile anyway, if you dial your own cell phone number it redirects you to your voicemail. It could be an error with your firmware or network though. Have you made any changes to your phone recently (i.e. ROM change/update)? Think of any possible conditions that may have changed with your phone since this started. Have you contacted your provider? Check your online call history through your carrier site and see if the same number appears at the time of call. If it does, the issue could be someone spoofing you. You can do this with spoofcard/spoofapp. It's hard to actually connect with a phone with the same number you're spoofing though, since it redirects to voicemail. As a precaution, i'd add a pin to my voicemail if I were you- in the event that this is the case. I found this out by spoofing one of my buddies once. In an attempt to boggle his mind, I tried using his number as the number of origin and found out that it directed to his voicemail, giving me access to that information.
It happens if I call my own phone from my house and leave a voicemail. I dont think its anyone spoofing my number. As you said, its almost like the phone gets a notification from a remote computer and a call from it at the same time.
I has done it at least once with every version of ARHD I have ran, but not all the time.

Call up your voicemail and go through the main menu to make sure voicemail paging notifications are turned off.
Ha! I bet that was it! Thanks go to you sir.
It was turned on for urgent messages (which explains why not all did it). When I turned it off and left myself a voice mail test it didn't do it. Weird, I wonder how it got turned on...

Can't receive calls, have to cycle airplane mode to activate data

Hello, so I recently went from sprint to t-mobile, ported my number, etc. The plan was to flash U onto my g930p but I'm stuck on sprint's qjp3/series 5 firmware until a compatible U or even T firmware is released. I have had a couple of issues with my device that have sort of popped up over the month or so I have been on tmobile, namely that I cannot receive calls, every time someone calls me they are sent straight to voicemail. I do receive notifications for voicemail and the voice messages themselves, but that's it. I can make outgoing calls, however usually the first attempt at an outgoing call fails, then further attempts actually dial. Also, upon restarting the device I always have to cycle airplane mode in order to get the data to catch and start working. SMS and MMS work fine. If anyone has any insight into solutions to these problems, particularly the not receiving incoming calls, I would greatly appreciate it.

SIM 2 call problem

Has someone had problems with not receiving all phone calls on SIM 2?
My operator supplies an app called Elisa Ring. From this software I get pre-notifications 2-3 seconds before the call starts ringing. Basically it notifies through internet almost immediately when the caller presses the call button.
From this softwares call log I can see that many people have tried to call me but none of those have ringed and are not shown in the phones call log. This means basically that the SIM has not been ready to receive a call.
Today I tested this with my colleague at work. He called 5 times and it went always voice mail. 6th call got through and two test calls after that. Suprising was that on the calls that connected, it took a looong time before the phone started ringing.
Some calls get through but not 100% is not acceptable.
I did not have this problem with OP5 and I have the same apps now installed on my OP7P.
