    Default Cell Phone Service Q&A

    I just checked my voicemail on... whim... this evening... and I have over 12 new voicemails. A few of the voicemails were people calling me back after they had left the first or second voicemail. Needless to say -- half my buddies are pissed off! lol

    Now tell me... how come my phone didn't ring... and how come I didn't get the voicemail icon notification on my Motorola V60G like I normally do?!?! I called Rogers, and the kind lady told me to shut my phone off for like a minute, then turn it on again. I did... and my buddies (whom I spoke on MSN) called me to try it, but my fucking phone doesn't ring -- it doesn't even notify me on the screen that there's an incoming call.

    I'm thinking my phone is defunct... or could it be Rogers?! I have a phone sitting in front of me... but I can't receive calls... I can only make them.

    Please help -- I feel like a n00b! lol

    If its bad reception, then you should receive the voice mail notification when you move into an area where there is reception.

    Everything about Rogers blows period..... I phoned and bitched at them today because I have had like 30 dropped calls in the last month and they gave me 50 free minutes on this billing cycle.

    FYI dropped call areas for Rogers..... Mckenzie Lake Blvd between the 2 mountain park entrances, Anderson Rd between bonaventure and acadia dr, and anywhere at the U of C.

    Rogers Sux ASS..... And so do loaner phones..... you should phone around to the different stores and make sure they have decen phones before you go ahead and get one.... I got stuck last month with a phone that had no charger and it did not hold the initial charge in the first place.

    Fido's pretty much the same if not worse then roger's. I wish there were better gsm providers out there.

    While Fido is not up to par with Telus coverage, it is far superior to Rogers GSM network. Fido is really strong with few areas that have crappy coverage. Roger's GSM network is generally weak with tons of coverage holes. Hopefully when Roger's GSM850 network is launched it'll improve GSM coverage in Calgary.

    this happened to a friend from work, but he also wasn't getting reception. the guy said he couldn't test it cause they were to close to a tower, he ended up only having one bar anyways.

    I'm used to calling friends with Roger's now. If I get voicemail, or fast busy, I just hang up and call again. Usually by the 2nd try, their phone will ring and it'll go through.

    The phone has a wicked screen on it but I wasn't impressed with the ringer volume or the earpiece sound. The vibrate was kind of weak as well. I only kept it for a week so IMO
