3/15 I have Verizon and have been pretty happy with the service till
recently. I no longer have signal in my apartment, and I've verified
this with other Verizon customers in the apartment. I called
them up to fix up the cell/repeater but they said they don't have
any problem in my area. What to do now?
\_ Take your number and run, boy.
\_ What phone do you have? Has there been construction nearby?
\_ I have T720. I verified this with other Verizon Wireless
customers using other phone and they have the same
problem.
\_ OK, that phone's tri-mode, so that's not the problem.
Have you updated the prefered roaming list lately? To do
that, go somewhere with a strong digital signal and dial
*228 and follow the voice prompts to "Update your PRL".
Your phone should reboot when it's done. See if that
improves your signal.
Ooops I mean I have T720i. Not sure what the "i" means but
it must be something significant. Anyways I did update it
while talking to the cust rep and she said try that fro a few
days, and if still no luck I can change the phone for free.
But I seriously doubt it's the phone becuase I can use it
pretty much anywhere, AND I've confirmed with other Verizon
customers in the same building that they don't have service.
So... now sure what to do next.
\_ The T720i? On Verizon? That's a GSM phone. If you have a
GSM phone with Verizon it would go to roam all the time. If
you actually have a CDMA phone and your reception got a lot
worse recently, I'd blame either a new building between you
and the cell site. Or else a bunch of new Verizon customers
in your neighborhood are causing the cell site to 'breathe'. |
