I've recently been having issues when calling certain numbers that my phone either starts ringing a few times then I get a busy signal or sometimes just a busy signl right away.
I know I'm not blocked from these numbers because one of the numbers is my gf and the other one of my close friends.
Now both my gf and friend have Sprint as well as myself. However, I can use my gf's phone to calll my number and she doesn't get a busy signal. And, if I call her phone from say a Verizon phone it rings normally.
This started happening very recently right before I upgraded to JB. I'm stock rooted.
Any ideas? I am thinking of calling Sprint to see if something is going on on there end.

Have you made any progress on this?
I have an EVO 4G LTE,, my wife has an EVO 3D - both stock and unrooted.
I can call anybody but her - I get a busy signal. -= maybe for the last 4 days, (Hurricane Sandy related?)
Anyone else can call her without a problem
I can call anyone else without a problem.
I can text her just fine.
On her phone, I blocked my number from calling her - when I did that, I went straight to her voicemail. When I unblocked it, back to the busy signal.
I deleted my contact from her phone and Google account - no change
I spent 20 min on phone with Sprint Tech support- we restarted both phones, reset voice services on both phones, pulled her battery - none of this did anything.
The rep told me to either hard reset her phone, or to go to a store with both phones.
So, I hard reset her phone. I logged into her google account and did nothing else.
I called her from my home phone - call went through. I called her from my EVO - call went through!!!
So, feeling cocky, I saved my number to her phone as a new contact. I called her again - BUSY SIGNAL.
I deleted myself from her contacts again - no change
I have hard reset her phone twice more tonight - both times I just got the busy signal.
Anybody else have any thoughts?

Im having the same issues when I call my wife's phone. I have Google Voice. Is that the problem?
Yes, had the exact same issue on my sgs2. Thought it was sprint, but after disabling Google voice the issue was resolved. I added it back about a month later with no issues.

Had this problem as well. Originally had evolte, sprint kept telling me it was network related. After two weeks I finally went to a corporate store and they ported my number to a different phone and called the numbers that where getting busy signals, and it worked. So they said it was my phone not the network. Sprint wanted to give me another evo, this would be my fourth evo, I decli ed and said I wanted a different phone, after much arguing sprint agreed to let me switch to the gs3. Came back two days later to pick up phone, after activating the phone I called the same numbers and STILL COULD NOT CALL THEM. Wtf. So they blamed google voice and said to try deleting it, if that did not work then call cust. Service. Deleting google voice did not work. So I called cust. Service they said after explaning what was going on cust.u Service said this was a known issue and did not know what was causing it and had no estimate when it would be fixed. She asked for the numbers that I got busy signals on and then offered a fourty dollar credit a month for four months. Wierd. Today I could call one of the numbers and it went thru. Havent checked the rest yet.

It is not google voice. Sprints network is the problem. They are aware of this. If you have problems call them and give them the numbers you cant call. My problem seemed to be fixed on sunday.

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't see much going on with this thread for a while so I thought I was just having a isolated issue.
Turns out the issue is a common Google Voice issue atleast if you have integrated your Sprint and Google Voice number into one.
I got rid of my Google Voice integration and am now back to the "lite" version where you have your regular Sprint number and a separate Google Voice number and the problem has totally stopped.
The reason I say it's a common issue is because people are posting about this in the official Google Voice support forums.
I wish I would have checked there first because it would have saved me a lot aggravation.
Anyway, try un-integrating Google Voice and see if that helps.

Using Google light and separating the numbers did not work for me I even uninstalled Google Voice completely and it did not work it may be true that Google Voice is having issues as well but the current issue is a network issue at least it was for me as a previous poster said mine started working on Sunday at least I got a Samsung Galaxy 3 and a 40 dollar credit a month for 4 months out of the deal

okay so I just performed the OTA update for my note 2 to version 4.1.2 and now I have absolutely NO cell phone reception whatsoever and gives me a "no network" label and says emergency calls only. I have downloaded the stock rogers 4.1.1 rom as well as the stock 4.1.2 rom and reflashed my note 2 with odin multiple times to no avail. during the update to 4.1.2 via OTA was flawless, no errors or anything, but after the update, my phone became completely useless!! Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? I am in desperate need of help as I currently do not have a phone to use

It's funny because my phone, AT&T, has recently been doing the same thing. It jumps from 4G to G then 3G then completely no signal. I'll wake my phone and there are no bars but if I keep it awake and use it for a bit then the signal comes back but very very faint.
Check your apn settings. If they're non existent then jet Google them. Should take 30 seconds to find

What is showing under settings about device? Is your baseband showing unknown or check if you still have your imei by typing *#06# try flashing Rogers modem.
same thing was happening to me (although not after the update, as I was flashing cleanROM & skynote) Keep in mind though that I was using those ROMs for quite a while before this started happening to me.
I was never able to fix it, so I flashed it back to stock,and took it to an AT&T store. The guy there switched out my sim and the signal came back immediately. However, I walked out of the store, and within 5 minutes, I was getting absolutely no service. I turned around and went back to the store, and they are doing a warranty exchange on the phone for me.
replacement phone should be here tomorrow. I also got a $100 credit on my next bill because it has been like this for a few weeks.
To the op, if your phone is stock I would take it to your carrier and get it sorted out.

sounds like a missing apn to me. You could do a simple search on google or xda to get the correct apn for your phone & carrier. Input the info in and that should do it. Otherwise, bring it to the store and have them do it for you, but make sure you didn't mod your phone.

Same exact thing happened to me. Got a nexus 4 while my note 2 was in repair. Got it back and was having the same problem. I went to the ATT store and they gave me a new sim card..worked in the store...walked out and 5 minutes later no signal. I really don't know what to do at this point. I had flashed with Cleanrom and Paranoid but when this phone came back they replaced the mainboard so everything is stock again. Really weird. I think I might say see you later to ATT.
Any other ideas please comment.
Does anyone know why when I try to open my T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app it just gets stuck on processing then eventually it tells me it can't connect to network? Im on stock unrooted.

Same issue here. I called a tmo rep and they "added the free feature to my account" yet every time I hit next at the voicemail setup menu it sits at processing and errors out with a "no response from server". I am on T-Mobile's LTE network with full signal, so that isn't the issue.
***EDIT***
Some additional info:
-Just bought my Note 3 yesterday.
-Just switched from an iPhone 5 (It was lame) that had functioning voicemail
-I have a postpaid simple choice account.
Hopefully we can get this figured out
Hey guys. A lot of things go wrong on T-Mobile bloatware. Just get YouMail from the market. Trust me it will save you so much more time and frustration. I install it on every android I have.
Just tried youmail and got an error saying that my youmail test call has failed every time. This is weird, I'm blaming the iPhone lol

Has anyone else been having problems with their picture msgs? At least once a day I get a problem with my mms msg when some one sends me a pic it shows up with the grey box and I can't open it. If I save it to storage (phone or sd card) I an see the preview thumb nail but when I open I get the cracked grey box showing is corrupted. It is also happening on my rooted s3 running a custom 4.2 (I believe) it usually happens from 2 ppl. One being on verizon with an s3 stock and the other being on verizon as well but running a stock lg of some sort (new with in the last 2 months. They are the two ppl who send me pics the most so I don't think its a verizon issue just a coincidence. Infact I think I had a problem getting a pic from an ibone4s on att once too. Any ideas or similar issues?

This could be an issue with your carrier, or your actual device. I have heard in the past that turning off the "Power Saver" mode in the settings can fix this issue.
I don't think its the device since its spanning 2 phones that I swap. I have an old lg that I can use see is anything happens with that. I'm skeptical of it being a carrier issue at least on my end because no one in my area with at&t seems to be affected.

I have gone thru 2 sim cards, 2 SM-N910A with similar results.
In settings, call, additional settings, it comes up with Network or SIM card error. AT&T has replaced two sim card, one a micro sim, one a nano sim with adapter.
From the keypad, **21*808551999# the error message as attach
The AT&T associate spent an hour with the advanced tech support to no avail.
I have a Nexus 6 and I can access all the above function, so my account is provisioned properly and I'm post paid
Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem.
It's something to do with the phone, as you seem to be aware of, I had a customer come in who wanted to forward his note 4 to his gear s, the same issue happened, from what I can gather it seems to just be an issue with the call app itself, a fix I read but never go to try was taking a sim card from a known working phone that has call forwarding on and inserting it into the unworking phone.
Try stopping the phone app and clear all data. I got a new sim card and then did that and my call forwarding worked. YMMV
I have the same problem. I called tech support today and the lady I talked to didn't even know that the gear app could auto forward you calls. She said she would set it up for me on her end. Not what I wanted. I want this 2 high end devices to perform the way they are suppose to before att got there hands on it.
So what I did was, I pulled out my Note 3. Updated to latest FireKat Rom and problem solved.
My note 4 and gear s worked perfectly when I first got them. THEN WE GOT AN UPDATE--------THE ONLY UPDATE.
That's when I first started having this problem.
Not only do we not have root, but now it isn't doing the cool things it should. I'm sorry for the long winded ***** but I shouldn't have to wait for the chance of a possible maybe sometime in the future if everything goes right update that may or may not correct this problem and could possibly inject more issues. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I came across this post:
This is a problem with AT&T. I'm running 4.4.4 Android on a new Note 4 and discovered that Google Voice wouldn't run on the phone. I suspect the issue is tied to AT&T's implementation of their Visual Voicemail.
After spending a few calls with AT&T Tech Support, I was able to get my Google Voice to work by using the Call Forwarding Settings of "Forward When Busy", "Forward When Unavailable", and "Forward When Unreachable" to be set to my Google Voice number. The problem is that the Note 4 has the bug you mention. It's not possible for the user to access the settings on the phone without getting the "Network or SIM card error" message.
AT&T Tech Support can manually configure these settings, but this will only help if you don't change the settings often because a call to AT&T is required. I'm hoping they fix this bug in the Lollipop build.
Be careful when calling AT&T Tech Support, the first two times I called, the Tech Support Agent had no idea that this type of Call Forwarding Settings were configurable.
For the 3rd try at calling them, I got someone more knowledgeable who first reset my voicemail to "Basic Voicemail". This is done in the AT&T system, not on the individual phone. Once that had been done, I then had to "activate" the Basic Voicemail by configuring my box. As soon as that was done, the AT&T rep was able to go into the AT&T system and manually configure the three Call Forwarding options that I wanted.
It was a huge pain to go through, especially because all I wanted to do was use Google Voice which has worked on AT&T Samsung phones going back to my first Galaxy SII.
My phone still shows the "Network or SIM card Error" whenever I try to access the Call Forwarding Settings, but at least I was able to get the Call Forwarding configured for my Google Voice to work again.
I don't know if this info helps you out, but I wanted to pass it along.
Went back to AT&T yesterday, this time armed with my Nexus 6. Got a nano sim. Nexus 6 call forwarding function work. Working sim into Note 4. same crap happens.
I just check again this morning, and my Note 3 is working flawlessly. Gear app autofowards my calls as it should and advanced call settings does not show error message. I believe it's a problem with the Note 4 not able to register it's self with the network. If I use another phone it registers fine, call forwarding work as does tethering hot spot. If I try my Note 4 neither wants to work. When I call att they can fix my tethering hot spot but can't fix forwarding. My Note 3 just works by its self without having to do anything such as clear app data or anything with I have tried along with phone reset multiple times. I'm going to use my Note 3 for a while.

Used my Note 3 all day today. Everything worked flawlessly. Got home and started my tethering hotspot and no problems. I'm thinking that I'm getting tired of my Note 4. My Note 3 running Firekat is just as fast. The only thing is the camera and the screen is so good. I wish my Note 4 was as, we'll I'll stop there. Thinking about trading Note 4 in for the iPhone 6 plus. I'll still have my Note 3 that everything works perfectly on. I get bored and like to be able to switch up the experience so if I have android, Note 3 would be note 4 but, and the hated ios witch just works and that can be jailbroken with a lot more help because they are all the same device and dose not have individually locked boot loaders. ????? What to do???

Tethering should work unless you have unlimited data, all mobile share plans from att include thethering, also you can pre-order the s6 on Friday, if I remember what our new Sammy rep was talking to me about, got to play with it for 30 seconds before a customer walked in, the ui is nice and smooth and the new octa exynos chip is suppose to run cooler and it seemed, just for ui scrolling, to sail through it all. I like the look and feel, I want it......
Edit: keep in mind that you'll be in the same position you are now as far as root and unlocked bootloader, if you want these things wait to see who sells the phone unlocked then buy it at full retail and use it on your account. I work for att, I know even the nexus 6, the most close to stock phone we sell has bloat ware and is locked down tight. If I get the s6 it's out right and unlocked.
Yes I agree. It should work. If I switch my sim to another phone it works just fine. Everything works as it should, but if I put my sim back in my Note 4 in phone settings advanced settings I get an simcard or network error and call forwarding does not work. Also tethering will fail telling me to call 611 or visit website to register device for tethering. Gear app will fail to forward calls also and I have had problems with network data. If you Google this problem it is a problem with note 4. Some people on the att forums are just hoping for an update soon. That's is not acceptable to me. It worked when I bought the phone then there was an update that was pushed to my phone and now my phone is turned off and I'm using my Note 3. So by the time this gets resolved and I can enjoy my phone it will be old in the world of phone technology. So why should I keep it, hoping it will be updated sometime in the near future which keeps getting pushed back for some unknown to me reason. Don't get me wrong. I love my Note 4 but I want it to work now.

There's definitely something wrong with how AT&T network supporting this phone. I have no problem with my Nexus 6. It's very frustrating but it's something I have to live with if I want to keep using this phone.
Anyways, thanks for trying to help.

I did the "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery and its still the same. You maybe right that the device is defective and since its more than 30 days, either I'll call Samsung for a replacement or claim insurance, however, by looking at AT&T community forum thread, I read that it all worked with N910AUCU1ANIE firmware, when AT&T updated that firmware, all hell broke loose. I'll see if I can have Samsung replace it.
