Please help,

 

I have changed my micro sim to a nano sim ready for my iphone 5 delivery today, however since I swapped over the sim card my phone won't connect to the sure signal.

 

My wifes phones is working fine, please help

I've de-registered and re-registered and swiched my SureSignal device off for two weeks but it's still no longer able to connect to the network (keeps going through the lights startup sequence) so I can't test to see if signal output is working again.  Anything else I can try?

@IanM123 - I can see your Sure Signal has now made contact with the network at 3.18am today.

I hope that it’s working for you now. If it isn’t, please post back the below template with your answers:

The issue you’re experiencing:

What light sequence you're seeing:

Hello Gemma,  My SureSignal is still not connecting unfortunately.

 

The light sequence is as follows:

Solid top light for a couple of minutes, followed by solid top light and flashing second light for another two or three minutes.  Then both top and second lights go solid and the fourth light starts flashing for a minute or so. The fourth light never goes solid. Then the 2nd and fourth lights go out, leaving the top light solid for about 30 seconds before all 4 lights illuminate one at a time and the above sequence starts all over again.

 

My speed test results are:

 To me it looks like I'm not connecting to your server but I can't see why.  Can you shed any light?

@IanM123 - Thanks for coming back to us with that information.

The first light sequence you’re getting, indicates your Sure Signal is attempting to register across the internet connection.

Please test your Sure Signal at a different location (using a different internet provider).This will rule out a faulty device.

If it works ok there although not at your address still, please get back to us with the exact coloured lights your getting and if they're stable or flashing.

I've tried the device at my son's address using a different ISP and unfortunately had the same results, i.e. the same light sequence constantly repeating.  I'm guessing that my SureSignal has therefore failed.

It sounds like you need a new Vodafone Sure signal device. 

I've sent you a private message with details on how to get in touch so you can arrange this.

Hello,

 

I have just updated 2 of the iPhones attached to my Sure Signal to iPhone 5s with Nano sims and they have stopped synching.

 

Could I ask you to do a re-synch for me, please?

Hi. I've just swapped sims for my new phone and now my Sure Signal isn't working with me. As the administrator I cannot delete and re add the user to refresh.

Can someone please resync it? 40112513300
