Dropped Calls and Messages Not Being Indicated

I recently moved into a new building.

I've noticed that all my calls are suddenly dropped after a few minutes even though I seem to have a strong signal initially. It doesn't matter which room I am in when on the call.

 

Also, I have discovered I haven't been receiving my voicemails for the last 5 days. People have left them and the only reason I checked was because people told me. Otherwise my phone is not indicating that I have voicemail anymore.


Is this a tower signal issue in my new area or could it be my phone that is causing the issues?

 

I don't use my phone much during the day to be able to compare.

 

Thanks!
T

Hi Tatijana,

 

Can you let us know which phone you have?

How old is your sim card?

I have a Nokia  - not sure of model. It's about 2 years old.

The sim card is much, much older. I couldn't even say how old.

 

I have confirmed calls are dropping outside of my new place also, that I am not being alerted of voicemail messages outside of the new place as well.

If this has been going on for a bit then it is most likely due to the sim card or the device itself.

 

Without the device model I cannot give you the instructions for a reset to factory settings. You can try going to a Fido store and testing another sim card or use a friends sim card to isolate the problem to the device or the sim card
