Hi,
Could someone provide me pointers with how actually a incoming call is routed on the cdma network.
What I want to figure out is issue with cloned phones.
Now when I have my cloned phones connected to the same tower, they both ring when an incoming call comes in?
But when they are connected to different towers only one rings, what determines which one does?
Is it possible to have only one of them ring i.e. the other ignores any incoming calls?
Maybe have the secondary phone not show itself on the network, unless it needs to make a call (voice or data)?
What about call waiting? When another incoming calls comes in when one is in session, would prefrentially go the the phone which is active or could it go to either?
Has anyone any experience of extensive testing of having two (or more) phones on a network?

I am in the USA (NYC), using Cingular. When I let my Tytn use the UMTS bands, I get the following message from Cingular when I call my own cell phone number (or hold down '1' to call voice mail):
"The number you dialed is not a working number."
I can send and recieve other calls, sms, etc... Once I set the band to use GSM only, calling my number correctly brings me to voice mail.
My SIM card is a 64k 3G card.
Any clue what the problem is?
Thanks!

Have you programmed Speed Dialing to 1? In order to call to your voice mail (Cingular) you have to program your phone to dial +1 (806) 252 9009 when you press 1. YOu can program it by opening PhonePad ->Menu->Speeddial. I hope it'll help
caller id doesn't work
I changed the VM as you suggested. Interestingly, it doesn't recognize that I am calling from my cell phone, and asks me for my 10-digit phone number. I have now confirmed this happens either in GSM or UTMS Mode. Is that the normal behaviour? The VM feature works when calling the cell number from the cell phone (in GSM mode).
When I called home from my cell phone the caller ID was properly displayed. IE: that information is properly being sent. but I think the problem is internal to Cingular services.
Thanks,

Morning all,
I'm trying to make international (specifically calls to the US) using VoIP in WM6 but it doesn't appear to be working. I've tried a whole range of numbers but all I get is a few seconds of trying to connect, then possibly a connection for a split second, then it drops.
My provider is VoipCheap and I can make calls to the US fine using my laptop.
I can call UK numbers fine (44) and am using the international dialing codes, etc.
Anyone know what's up?
Thanks
With my older phone, if I have a GPRS data connection, incoming voice calls will be rejected (busy). I was told it is the same with all phones.
Can HD2 make or accept a voice phone call when it has a GRPS connection? Or an HSPA connect? With the My Location, Weather, and Direct Push, I can neve tell when my phone has a data connection. Does it mean I may be missing calls all the time?
I have no problems with my telco. They will "downgrade" my data connection whenever a call is coming thru.
Nope - works fine for me. Will be using MSN and then a phone call will over ride it

what phone would do that? You wouldn't happen to be with Verizon before, would you? My gf has a blackberry on verizon and whenever she's using the net incoming call would be rejected. I don't know any gsm phone would do that. I've had 5-6 GSM phones and they would allow incoming call and suspend your current web until the call ended.
Well, voice calls are made on a certain frequencies and data connections are made on others.
Ex: in my country the data connection is on the 1900/2100 freq, while the voice calls are on the rest.
So it should never be a problem. I believe its also the ability of the phone to use different freq for different tasks.
Thanks. I can now use the data connections without worry
Why not you try yourself. COnnect to data constantly and make a call to your number. What will happen...?
3G and GPRS/Edge won't block calls. But you can still use old fashion data-call. While I doubt any provider would provide data connectivity this way, I can't rule it out.
Conference Call on EVO 4G Sprint:
The only time I'm allowed to connect two calls if I've dialed both the calls from my phone but I don't get an option to merge received calls. Thus, my question is, how do you make a conference call when you are talking with someone and a third person calls you?
Any help on this matter will be appreciated.
Thanks form
You can't: the only way to make it work is exactly as you describe, you must be the caller on both for the conference to work.
Is there a work around this annoyance? Like an app from the app store or rooting my phone? Does this problem exist with every Android phone or only with Evo 4G?
Incomming CDMA and outgoing CDMA are different. You can only conference outgoing CDMA.
Rather sure this is the same with all CDMA phones. But, I have never tested on any other phone I had with verizon or sprint.
Have you tried Google Voice?
I tried to make an outgoing call this morning, only to get a notice that my outgoing calls have been restricted and that my 2g phone will no longer work. It re-directs me to their call center, where my only options seem to be either order a replacement phone or activate the replacement phone.
Here's the catch. I'm using an iPhone 6 with a 2-year old SIM card that has worked flawlessly the whole time (actually, it still works fine, it's Straight Talk's system blocking my outgoing calls). When I question them on this, they blame my phone and say I need to order a new SIM, and the tech was unable to answer my question regarding the ability to call 911 (I can't even check voicemail, but I don't want to test 911).
I can still receive calls and my cellular data works just fine (posting this on LTE), but my outbound calls are being re-directed.
Has anyone run into this issue? Has anyone found a way to get rid of the block? I can't get anywhere with their "support". I should not have to buy a new SIM card for something that shouldn't affect my service.
Straight Talk should just send you a new sim without charging for the sim.
They sent me a replacement sim when I misplaced my phone without any problems. I found the phone and didn't need the sim. They didn't charge me for the sim.
The problem is likely on their end with the provisioning of the sim.
Did they try to send you a new sim ?
I finally was able to get around scripted CS and talk to somebody knowledgeable. They're sending me a new SIM.
Apparently, I got caught by the net because I used this SIM in an old flip phone several months ago.
My biggest concern with the whole thing is the ability to call 911, and why they don't have an escape route so that you can still place calls without ordering or activating a replacement phone. My first few contacts left me with a replacement phone as my only option.
Notice to all providers. In the future, please make these notifications so that they don't block outgoing calls. Play a notice, give a number to call, then allow the call through.
Luckily, I have FaceTime Audio to continue making calls in the meantime (new SIM arrives Tuesday).
