Need advice with S3 dial problem

Postby D music 4 life » March 22nd, 2014, 7:57 pm

Ok tuners bought a unlocked S3 from America two months now & I cut my TSTT sim card to work in it paid $50 in d Mall. Phone was working good all d time now I'm having problems when trying to dial a call. The call keeps ending even if it's a TSTT or Digicel #. You have to keep trying to make a call about 10 times b4 u get tru. I regret not buying a iphone 4S now :| I updated all d software when I got notifications. Any of u guys ever had this problem? Just imagine new phone like this giving trouble it never even fell down :?

The same thing happens to two friends s3 and another friends S4 all on bmobile.
Also when someone is trying to call them it goes straight to voicemail
They same it mainly happens in certain areas....u can see if you notice this yourself.
You can also try a digicel sim and see if u get the same problem if not you can talk to bmobile and see if they can help you.

Thanks if it's really TSTT sim is d problem then I'll switch to Digicel getting tired of bad service & paying tax on phone card $115 for $100 bmoblie when digicel is $100 flat. I go really have to go talk to bmoblie if that's d case. First I thought it was d area but when I'm home it giving problems it never had that trouble b4. I have that voice mail problem also several persons really told me why I does have my phone switched off I was like it on right tru :|

Lol @ tax payin on phonecard. So u rather pay $100 for the same and have all ur credit go down with a couple calls on de red network...then again, its a tradeoff...u want more value for ur money-bmobile or more service for ur money-digi

Javishm signal on full & still get that problem. Sometimes u can make a call. I hate when I'm driving & trying to make a call & keeps ending I does use my headset to talk if I get tru. When I was using my V3i b4 never had that problem I could be in Salybia Bay & it working excellent all these years as sim cut & gone in new phone pressure. If that d case Exodus I rather better service for my $$ red team for it go take a look at d 4G package. Just imagine if I'm trying to call a emergency # & I have to keep dialing like 15 times. I'll visit TSTT tomorrow explain my situation if they can't help me change my # to a digi d hard part is d amount of persons I go have to give my new # to pressure...

That strange had an S3 and have an s4, no problems so far. Google the problem, some people say it might actually be software updates or an app that causing the conflict.

Could be a software problem. Some people reported alot of weird sheit happening when they updated to 4.3 or 4.4. Again I've been lucky so far. *knocks on wood* no problems yet. Still think android is the bomb.

Did you install any Caller ID software where you can see a photo of the person calling?

I check out a dealer in d Mall. Bootmee d guy said that they don't have that problem with their local S3. He said changing my # to a digi won't help d problem. He said once I get d next software update problem should be eliminated. So u could be right Speedist so now I'll have to wait patiently :|

Happened to me once... turned out the sim was cut bad. Maybe that might be the problem. The Android 4.4.2 update is coming soon for the s3. But if u bought the phone in America that means it's a carrier version. If so the update will take a while to reach your phone.

Yes bro I had to Google to find out about custom rom. They probably cut d sim bad d guy did it like in 2 seconds for a whole $50 :| My friend was telling me that my sim could be too old to get a new TSTT. I'm waiting for d update so I'll still have d same problem. What I was thinking is to buy a digi phone that comes with a small sim then try it in d S3 & see what happens. But if it work I won't knw if it was really d sim that cut bad or if it was d network was d problem. Once d problem solve I would be elated. What I like about d phone is u hear properly. After using a phone like this I don't think I could go back to a V3i.

Order a sim tray and get someone to install. Maybe u can do it yourself buy watching a tutorial on YouTube. If you don't want to do this try and sell the s3 and put more money to it and buy an s4. Or trade with cash if someone is willing to.

Serious a lot persons said iphone is d best gives no problems. I find d S4 was to big plus too much features that I'll never use. Don't get me wrong, I like Samsung that's why I bought a S3. Speedist u have me feeling nervous now it's a unlocked from T-mobile so that means I'm in serious pressure now :?

It doesn't give problems...that's true. I'll admit that apple makes good phones but iPhones are too basic. You can't really customize it to your liking in a sense. And you might not use widgets now but you will miss them while using an iPhone.

Lol. It's better that I give my experience though. After that, I avoid any phones unlocked from a carrier.

Can't prove all unlocked carrier phones give trouble but better to avoid the possibility altogether.

Had an international model (no carrier) s3. Never had problems. S4 is the same and has yet to give any trouble. *knocks on wood*
