Hi
Having recently upgraded my phone to an HTC One X it wont connect to my sure signal. I understand that there is a problem with the One X connecting to the sure signal already but i just want to check to see if there are any other underlying problems with my setup. I am on Virgin media 60Mb broadband using their Super Hub. The SS has a static IP address setup on the router and is in a DMZ so has full access to the web.
Here are my answers to the usual questions that seem to be asked:
Your Sure Signal serial number: 21222716868
Your speed test results: Download 51.14Mbps Upload 2.85Mbps (based on a test run on the server hosted by Vodafone UK in London)
Your ping test results: Ping 23ms Jitter 8ms
Your external IP address: 82.15.224.169
The results of a traceroute.

Other devices seems to be working with the SS correctly (iPad and iPhone amoung others).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Solved! Go to best answer.

Hi sbaker106,
Everything you've posted looks OK, so the change of SIM is the most likely cause.
On the link Nabs posted, this is the section which is specific to this:
==========================================
Has Your SIM recently been replaced?
When a SIM change is performed it can take up to 2 hours for the Sure Signal system to recognise the change, during this period you won't be able to pick up any signal from the Sure Signal. If you still experience issues after this time then you'll need to remove the affected number from your Sure Signal and then add it back on, this can be done via My Account.
If the affected number is the owner of the Sure Signal, you'll need to temporarily transfer the ownership to another number in order to remove/re-add the affected number. This can be done by clicking Change Owner on the Sure Signal Dashboard. The new owner will then need to login to their My Account profile and accept the ownership request, before removing and re-adding the number. Once this has been completed then the ownership can be transferred back to the original number.
==========================================
If you still have issues after trying this, please let us know.

HI there
SS resynched and managed to get all 3 phones working on it along with a Samsung Galaxy (swapped SIM cards) and a TEMS phone (swapped SIM Cards). I was just on a call which was going through the SS and surpsrise surprise the call dropped....looked at the SS and it rebooted, now busy resynching. Should have known not to but anything with Alcatel-Lucent on it. I will be returning to the Vodafone store in the morning requesting a refund. Looks like I will have to change carriers as Vodafone signal in my area is attrocious and have reported it monthly since March and nothing gets done.
I am involved closely with Vodafone and have access to KPI's etc and I know this site is heavily congested but nothing gets done so I will be changing carriers
Cheers

Hi Tomt_1
I can't see from your posts where you've provided your Traceroute. Can you provide the following?
Your speed test results from here.
Your ping test results from here.
Your external IP address from here.
The results of a traceroute.
Your Sure Signal serial number:
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
