I set up a new Sure Signal last night. It took a long to set up, but then was working on 2 iPhones for a a few hours. However, this morning there is no service again on both phones. 

 

What do I need to do to get this working please?

Did you try switching everything off, leaving them for a while, then switching them back on? Always worth a try.

 

It nice to know the Sure Signal can work. Which Internet Provider are you using?

Just trying that now thanks waiting for it to restart. We are with Spectrum Internet

Please take a look through these Sure Signal Trouble Shooting threads :

Look to turning off 4G in the iPhones settings to force it onto 3G. 

Current Phone  >

Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra 512gb.

 

 

I've switched everything off & after a few hours the Sure Signal device is now showing as working, I have reset it to 3G, but my phone is still not showing a signal.

 

I have contacted LiveChat, they said they had reset something & to restart after an hour & it would work, which I have done. The device is showing as working, but I still can't use our phones.

@BonitaB - Your results look fine, I've checked your Sure Signal and the last contact on our servers was at 10.18pm last night.

 

If your phones aren't connecting, please turn your phones off and on again to see if they connect.
