Verizon G900V with Straight Talk cannot reply calls??? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I've been using my GS5 with straight talk for a while now and everything works but replying calls.
And by that I mean if you call me now the phone call under "recent calls" gets to me with +1 800...
If i go and tap there to place a call from recent I get an error from verizon about a supposed "international call"
My phone is also working on H+ but that is just because of the bands I have the not verizon sim card error but that cuz I'm lazy
Other thing is I receive MMS through a group message which is really weird but I think someone talked about that already.
I've tried 2 phones like this already with the same results so if someone knows something plz share
I've tried dealing with assisted dialing but does not make any difference btw.

Cannot send SMS but can recieve

Hi there from the title its pretty self explanatory
im from melb, aus
got a "Telstra" Touch HD but im using another different companies Sim card in it
i can make and recieve calls
i did a "Clear storage" but nothing helped there
i read about something referring to "At commands" or "at commanders"
but nothing found doing a search
thanks
same problem with me.. i send a message and after some time it says message could not be sent.. sometime i receive the message with a delay too.. i checked my sim in other phone, there it is fine.. the problem is only in touch
Similar problems connecting to internet and making phone calls
I occasionally have the problem sending texts but more frequently cannot make a phone call or data connection. I have found that if I go into the Comm Manager and set the phone to Airplane Mode and then back to Phone mode that this works 9 times out of 10. However, this is not a very satisfactory or permanent fix. If anyone has a more permanent solution I would be interested in hearing it. I live in the UK and am on the the 3 network. I have a feeling it may be an issue with my provider and not the phone but the help staff at 3 are useless. Thanks!
hey there
sorry for late reply
but i had my service provider reset my messaging service and it worked by the end of the day.
not sure why it was the case. too complicated for me to try and explain probably.
peace

conditional call forwarding active

I've had my root SGS a few weeks ago, suddenly one day it could not ring more or receive calls.
This has worked before and after the root, but suddenly my phone just says: "conditional call forwarding active" when I try rings.
anyone know what happened? or how I can change it?
it must be said that my sim is fully functional on other phones, and when others have the SIM card into my phone gets the same error
Hope you can help

Hi mate, have you had any luck with this, I get exactly the same problem, though I can get through on calls. I also get an error message concerning MMI as well whenever entering # codes into the dialer.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Should be able to turn of in Call Settings/All Calls/Voice Calls....

Need help with call forwarding ... not able to make outgoing calls anymore

Hi All,
a few dasy ago i played around with activting call forwording with GSM codes. I didnt get this to work but something happend.
Now when i try to make an outgoing call there is a message "diverted to xxxxxxx by pattern" and its dialing the number i tried to get working with the GSM codes.
First i thought this must be a SIM or provider problem but i tried the SIM in two other phones and there a no problems at all.
Next i completely reinstalled the P9 Lite from scrath but that doenst help either.
So something must be wrong with the P9 Lite. Maybe some leftover anywhere ?
Does anybody have an idea how the fix that problem ? Otherwise i can throw this phone away because i need to make outgoing calls.
Hopefully someone can help me......

Heyho,
that sounds really bad... But it also sounds like u activated maybe the "Call barring" not the "Call forwarding"?
-
Have a look at this site, specially under "Call barring" and check if u entered such an GSM code. If so, i hope the codes provided on the site, will help u to disable the "Call barring" again.
Regards,
Sebastian
I just found the cause of this problem and now I feel like a total noob
While playing around with the GSM codes i also tried Tasker internal function "call divert". But this function is only for outgoing calls. I totally forget about that

Using Red Pocket CDMA

Is anyone using Red Pocket CDMA? Will I have to contact Red Pocket for CDMA_LESS to have text messaging working? My 6t arrives today and I am beginning to wonder if it will even work with Red Pocket CDMA. I was going to put my activated sim from my axon7 into the 6twhen I get it and hope it works.
So I got the phone today. Data works but can't make or recevive calls/text. Waiting to see if Red Pocket can do anything.

You may need to program in the APN settings for texting and calls. I am unfamiliar with Red Pocket, but searched the APN settings for them:

Hopefully this helps
Edit: I believe CDMA APN settngs are at the bottom of that link.

Thanks. The sim card needed to be replaced. Something about it locked to 3g or a 3g only card. It's all working now except for receiving sms messages. Redpocket has a ticket open to see if they can find a way to add CDMA_less provisioning.

Does Red Pocket use Verizon towers? If so theres been a few articles about a temp fix:
https://piunikaweb.com/2018/11/06/o...ng-issues-receiving-sms-mms-but-theres-a-fix/
Were you able to get the 6T to work completely with red pocket?
I'm attempting to use redpocket (CDMA/Verizon) as well. Sim card is activated and I get data service, but no voice or text. It won't let me change my APN settings. I guess I'll need to call them and get a new sim card like was mentioned earlier in the thread.
The op has the correct CDMA bands for VZW, but unfortunately they are not active. This is a shame as where I work sometimes, CDMA is only available. Not sure why the f CDMA is not active.
So I had the issue with no calls/texts, but data was working on redpocket (verizon version). I called their customer service and told them my symptoms and they got calls and outgoing texts working almost immediately without a new sim card. Apparently we can't update the APN settings because they're automatically fixed on the 6t. Incoming SMS still doesn't work. I asked about CDMA_Less setting, and got a hard "no". Who knows if that's the truth, but the tech I was talking to said it wasn't possible even after consulting his IT guy.
Good news! I was able to get Red Pocket to add the CDMA_LESS feature and now my phone is running smooth as butter! I had some issues so I will explain how I overcame those!
First I couldn't activate my voicemail. By activating this you are activating your phone pretty much. Every time I went to select 1 for English as my language it said I submitted an invalid choice. So I threw my sim in an unlocked iPhone SE and activated the voicemail. I then threw the sim back in my 6t and was able to do everything except receive texts.
So then I contacted Red Pocket. I wasn't expecting much but I let them know clearly that I could do everything except receive texts. I said I just needed the CDMA_LESS feature added. She said my iPhone SE was showing as active so she updated my IMEI on my account and then added the feature. So after restarting my device all is up and running!

Nice! I gave up 5 months ago trying to get the CDMA_LESS added by Red Pocket & switched to their 'AT&T' sim. Not as good as the VZW service, but at least I got texts. Maybe I'll try & switch back...
Thanks for letting us know its possible. Question When you activated the sim on the verison unlocked iphone. Did you enter the activation info again about sim and IMEI of the iphone. Or did you just pop in the sim and made the setup 1st call.
I just tried with a pixel 3 unlocked and I still cant get past activating the sim when I press 1 for English.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer. Failed to activate with a Oneplus 6T after 20 chats with CS. They said they activated cdma less but I still can't press 1 to activate. I also tried with my friend's iphone and it didn't work either. I now wonder if I need the cdma less deactivated to succeed activate with an iphone...

Calls are constantly dropped with Ting on my S5 G900V (locked bootloaders)

I never tested the phone out when I first got it, but I checked to see if it was unlocked by putting in a new sim card. Seemed to be unlocked. I did the "root" method on here to flash back to an older OS which worked for what I needed it to do. But ever since I got the phone, calls are constantly missed (I can use another phone to call this mobile and the mobile won't ring, it'll go to voicemail), my calls are constantly dropped, I rarely can call out, if I am able to call out the other person might not be able to hear me. The only thing that works well is the texting. I use Ting as my provider and have spoken to them many times because the original problem was that I couldn't access my voicemail and it kept giving me a mmi error. They gave me the voicemail number to directly call which I've been doing to get around the error of using the built in voicemail system. They've stated verizon phones aren't the most compatible with their system and they suggested maybe the sim card isn't functioning properly. I've spoken with their customer service at least four times over the last 8 months but these problem never really went away.
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I need a reliable phone now for phone calls. Should I try flashing back to stock 6.0? Or do you think it has nothing to do with what I did to get the "root" on it? This is the guide I followed:
