New iphone 5 not working with Sure Signal

My phone has been upgraded to an iphone 5 with a new SIM.  That happened yesterday afternoon.  After reading these forums I have tried a full reset of the sure signal and also removed and replaced the micro sim.   I'm still unable to use the sure signal and so I have no mobile coverage.  My sure signal serial number is 40110918030

 

I can't change sure signal owner because I do not have another VF account holder to transfer it to.

 

thanks

Ian

Hello imillard,

 

Thanks for your post.

 

A SIM change can take anything between 2 hours and 24 hours to be registered on the network.

 

I've forced the requested resync for you. Please factory reset the device to complete the process.

 

Cheers,

 

LeeH

Hi the same thing has happened to my sure signal but with my Samsung Galaxy S3.

Cannot get it to work and have tried everything even had a new sim!

This has been going on for months now and having stumbled upon this thread today made me wonder if you could help?

Hi markantonyw,

 

We'll be happy to take a look for you to see what's causing this for you.

 

So we can see what's happening, can you confirm the following information?

 

Your Sure Signal serial number.

Your speed test results from here.

Your ping test results from here.

Your external IP address from here.

The results of a traceroute.

VSS Traceroute command

On a PC:

Click on Start and select Run

Type CMD into the Run box and press enter/click ok

A black box will appear.

In this box type tracert 212.183.133.177 press Enter

Paste the output of this command into your reply.

This will help us get the quickest possible resolution for you.

Thanks

Dave

Sorry, not sure how to get traceroute on Mac?

To do a traceroute on a Mac, open Terminal (Applications, Utilities) and type
traceroute 212.183.133.177 and press Enter

Awesome! Thanks B_e_n!

Hi there markantonyw,

 

Thanks for the requested information.

 

Everything checks out so I've forced a resync for you. Could you factory reset the VSS for me to complete the process?

 

  • Hold the reset button till all the lights come on or flash (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held, remove and re-insert the power lead
  • Once all the lights come on or flash, release the reset button
  • The VSS should come online within the hour

Let me know how you get on.

 

Cheers,

 

LeeH

IT WORKED!!!!

Mark.
