Yesterday I received a call from my landlord. I answered the phone and said hi. He said he was a Sprint rep looking for someone named Deborah. I told him my name and looked at my phone to verify who I was talking to again. It showed my landlord. I asked if that was who it was just to make sure. He said no, that he must have a wrong number.
A few minutes later my wife called. It was a guys voice. Not quite as sexy a voice. They said they had a wrong number too.
The weird part is I was expecting a call from both around that time. When I talked to them later they both said they called a few times during that 15 minute stretch.
I got on Sprint.com to chat with a rep. He said he did some basic trouble shooting and reset some things. It works now.

Your post is confusing and you should feel bad.

Um thanks? Anyone with any relevant information? Maybe something that is on topic?
I am sorry to say I have not had any mistaken caller ID's. Are you running stock, or a custom ROM?
I had that happen once, resolved itself, no action taken by me.

For the past hour, I've been trying to make a call and I can't get a dial tone. I got it to go through once, but no it won't. It just makes a blaring "BOOP BOOP BOOP" sound, idk how to explain it xD,
But has anyone else gotten it? Is it a problem with Sprint, or is my modem broken or something? I have no idea why this is happening.
Thanks.
Come on, someone please respond
What modem are you on?

Me too!!! I try to call out and after about 20 - 30 seconds I get a fast busy signal. I can receive calls no problem.
I DO have Google Voice active on my account...
EDIT:
Just disabled GV and now it's all good. Google must be having problems.
Sounds like a network problem with sprint. You could try flashing a dif modem or even odining to stock but imo it sounds like a network issue on sprints end. Try calling customer service.

In my case it is an issue w/ Sprint and GV. I disabled GV on my account and presto, I could make calls again.
Of course, this was after flashing a couple of different modems... sigh.
Normally I try not to feed the trolls and wasn't even thinking when I wrote it but I guess it goes to show you can learn new words when trolling other devices forums. Maybe you should thanks me for increasing your vocabulary. ;-)

Hah, that fixed it for me too! I ended up upgrading my modem to ef10 but deleting Google voice worked perfectly.

I noticed last week some strange things happening with sms and mms with gv so I discontinued it then.

Both my wife's and my phone are doing the same thing. I spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with customer support. Interestingly, I was able to get it to work for about 5 minutes by dialing *740 (but not pressing talk) then rebooting the phone. The CS rep said it had something to do with "call forwarding being enabled" for whatever that's worth. I immediately asked if it was related to the GV integration being setup on both lines and she said no (but in my head I'm thinking, yeah right).
I did notice that my PRL was the "older" one and I just did a PRL update on my phone, but that didn't fix anything.
If you disable GV integration, can I just re-enable it later when they fix this? Is there any delay in switching GV on/off the account?
It worked instantly for me. As for turning it back on, I've done it a few times in the past.

So as the title says I can't receive texts from Tmobile numbers. Don't know exactly when it started, approx. 1 week ago, but I was at one point able to receive them. I'll give you the background info...
Was originally with Tmobile, ported to google voice, then ported to boost, then ported to Sprint when I purchased E4GT. All over the course of about 3 months. I still owe Tmobile my eta, if it matters.
I am currently not rooted, EL29 modem. Was rooted, tried Calkins EL29, Blazer EL29, some ICS roms. Flashed back to stock EL29 unrooted.
Called customer service, they "reprogrammed" my phone, which on my end consisted of dialing ##my MIL number# and reentering my msid. Didn't fix it so now a network ticket was started.
So, any help or causes would be greatly appreciated.

Bump for help. Been on the phone with customer service 4 times, no help.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That happened to me a few weeks back. I was able to get text from ATT and I think Verizon except TMO. I had called them and they opened a ticket. They fixed it a week later as now it works fine. I'm not sure what they did but its something with the network not the phone.
It is call a network ticket you can call advance custumer care and ask them to create one for you or take it to a repair center and ask a technician to get one in for you. Depending where you at it can take up to 72 hours
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Ok you should consider the multiple Ports as the cause of the issue. As for the ticket, all they will do is ask for the t mobile telephone number you cannot receive text from. They will search that number to see if a message from it has hit sprints messaging platform. If they find it they will see where it was lost on the way and correct it. If they cannot find it then they will say that they cannot fix the issue if the message never hit sprints messing platform. Back to the port. Sometimes the port is corrupted and the phone will not work our will not have all of the features. Sprint will need to contact their number porting center tier 3 department and have them to change your KEN. GOOD LUCK.
Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll just have to be patient and let them fix it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Just got off the phone after an hour with customer care. Still no success. Cant get to tier 3. Most of the reps act like they never heard of it. What does Ken stand for? Because they never heard of that either.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta
The problem was with the routing, as suspected. The fix I assume was getting the intercarrier gateway to correct the settings they had for my phone. I called three or four times and they told me it would get fixed. It wasn't until I replied to a post on the Sprint community forum that I got any results. A Sprint employee that monitors those forums pm'd me and got the gems ticket process going. And it still took two tries for them to get it right.

SMSC number is probably changed. Search for it on the forum here. Lots of topics about it.

As was mentioned earlier, if you messed with the *#*#INFO#*#* menu, you probably cleared your SMSC number. Fix it by following this.
it was error 16 couldn't place calls either but i made a call stayed on the line and it switched me to a rep then she did something turned off my phone and updated the profile now its working again
Im so lost right now my situation is for the passed week I been talking to a new girl on the phone and some days we talk for hours and some days we can barely talk for 2 mins without the call dropping. It only happens with this person. I thought it was their phone but she said she only get dropped calls with me. Yesterday I got a new refurb so it couldn't be the old phone . How can I narrow the issue down to see who service keep failing. Sprints or T-Mobile?

I brought a AT&T Note 2 from a friend and I'm going to unlock for use on T-Mobile because that's what I currently use now my friend brought that note 2 from someone else and that person said it was lost. If I unlock it for T-Mobile will I be able to use it with no problems ?

Only if the device has not been black listed. ..
If it has been listed. ..you have a problem. ..as you may run into trouble if the IMEI is shared between TMO and ATT....g
It was reported lost so I can't use it ? So u telling me if it was reported lost to AT&T they blacklist it ? I thought it can't be used on AT&T again but can be used on any other gsm carrier like T-Mobile

They blacklist the imei. So if someone steals the phone the owner can report it and that phone is now just a media player lol.

Carriers are starting to share blacklists. Hence the imei of the phone will be nullified and cannot be accessed anywhere here in the states.

If it is your friend's phone and there is no insurance fraud involved... he can have it unblacklisted by calling at&t

U need to read before posting I didn't say I brought it from a friend of a friend. I said my friend brought it from someone else on Craigslist. How's that exactly a friend of a friend when he don't even know him all he is was a seller.

Well like I said I was making sure that's why I asked and there was no way I can go to AT&T to ask because they was closed. Btw the phone was brought in to the store prior before my friend brought it cause he was with the guy and AT&T checked they only said it was reported lost they didn't said it was reported stolen.

Some of the people here are going to draw there own conclusions. (B Rude) No matter what your online!! Some are rude, and some are not!!! Just remember this one thing if you know your telling the truth, then why worry about what others have to say. That's just they're opinion!! :what:

At&t do not blacklist a lost phone. It has to be reported stolen.
On that note, AT&T will reactivate a blacklisted phone as long as the original account holder/purchaser calls it in.
I don't know the facts of your story but the above statements are from true.
