Does anyones blackbery constantly drop calls?
- My 8830 from Verizon constantly goes silent after about 2 minutes of talking. I have to hang up and call back whomever I am talking to and make the call again. It sucks and it happens at my house and at work. When this goes on, my signal strength is good and I dont know what to do but I cant hold a conversation on this thing. And by the way it's my FOURTH NEW one from VZW and the keep saying its the handset. Anyone else wit this problem???08-21-08 08:41 AMLike 0

- Yes! I have been dropping calls constantly! I am on my third curve in a 30 day period. I am returning it today - no more. I'll wait til the "bugs" are fixed. It's unacceptable that you pay this kind of money and monthly charges for a Blackberry that cannot funtion properly. I drop calls multiple times a day and it doesn't matter where I am. I also have text messages failing on a regular basis. Never dropped calls with my old 8703e or any of my LG phones. This is apparently a known issue since there were several people in the Verizon store with the same problem the other day. I have worked with the Blackberry techs all month long to no avail. I also tried the *22899 and all that does is reactivate your phone and when you call tech support because you have a problem you get your hand slapped for using *22899. Well that's my two cents.08-21-08 10:28 AMLike 0
- Mine does this all the time but has not done it since I upgraded to 4.5 I'll be talking to someone and then all of a sudden silence; they can hear me talking but I cannot hear them. Very annoying and Verizon denies that its their service and wants to send me a new phone instead. I'm on my 4th 8830WE and they said if it keeps happening they'll give me a Curve but I may hold out until the Thunder comes out and then try and get it.08-21-08 01:30 PMLike 0
- It's not just the 8830 - see my post above - it's the 8330 curve as well. I have been having all the same problems. The techs told me that the new OS upgrade would not fix the problem. They said that BB's have a lower signal because they are accessing two networks. Not sure how much I believe that because my 8703e NEVER dropped a call or had any of the other problems.08-21-08 02:55 PMLike 0

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-21-08 08:52 PMLike 0 - It's not really fair to pigenhole backend network services at Verizon for the issue. There are dozens of things that could be causing the issue. A Verizon Service & Repair Center I would assume would be able to run the phone through a network diagnostics test to try and isolate a handet vs. network issue.08-21-08 09:08 PMLike 0
- Howdy folks,
I've been having this problem too with my VZW Curve. However, it just started happening about a month ago. I got my Curve in May and the dropped calls started in late June/early July. It used to be that I would not drop a call unless it was in a known dead zone. Now, it will just drop calls on GP. Glad to see that I wasn't crazy. Im going to take it by Verizon this weekend to see if they can troubleshoot it for me.08-21-08 11:15 PMLike 0 -

- I didn't have this issue when using 4.2.xxx However, with 4.5.33, I had this exact same issue. After upgrading to .51, this issue is now *knock on wood* gone....so I would really try and make sure you have the latest OS, enough memory before bashing verizon. I'm in no way a fan, but I have seen my wife's AT&T 8800 drop calls left right and center....with VZW, I have had dropped calls where I can count the instances on one hand...i.e. very rarely.08-26-08 02:03 PMLike 0
- U dont't understand this happens every day at least three times, I have 3 or 4 bars of signal and after about a minute into a conversation, the call goes silent. They can hear me, but I can't hear them. It's been a year now that I have been going through this. VZW replaced my handset FOUR times to try and correct this and no luck.08-27-08 08:08 AMLike 0
- While were on the subject of Verizon...Has anybody had an issue with not being able to make calls but can recieve them and email, etc works? I was unable to make calls for about an hour yesterday. I pulled the battery etc and was still down. I'm hoping it was Verizon and not my phone.08-27-08 08:17 AMLike 0
