It's an issue with the Sure Signal, when I switch off and disconnect from the router, i can call out....I've done all the resets as advised on the website...this is my last option.....I've got to say I feel very undervalued as a long standing Vodafone customer at the lazy, and lack of, response I've had from you both on here and from Twitter, you both seem to be passing the buck.

Although your website may say that there is is great signal cover for my area, G71 7JB, there are certain areas with my house where the sugnal is not great, which is why I have Sure Signal.

I would appreciate a more prompt reply and resolution to this issue,

 

many thanks

Hi iainsymac,

 

We need this information to verify whether the connection is working correctly. 

 

I've noticed your on Virgin Media, please ensure that the IPSEC is ticked on your router settings. You can find out how to do this by speaking with Virgin if required.

 

Please also let us know your Sure Signal serial number.

 

Thanks, 

Matt B

Hi Matt, I will check the IPSEC setting when I get home. If you had read my last but one post properly you would have seen my Sure Signal serial number.....21224331427

IPSEC is ticked but the issue still remains, I can't call out with the Sure Signal switched on.

Hi iainsymac,

 

Apologies that Matt missed the serial number in your results.

I can see your Sure Signal is on the latest firmware and contacted our servers around 10:30pm last night. 

If you're still not seeing outgoing service, please test another Ethernet cable. Failing this, please try the unit at a friend or relatives house for an hour.

 

This will help us to rule out any hardware failure and avoid you arranging and paying for a repair/replacement unnecessarily. 

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

 

I tried what you suggested, but the problem remains, I can't call out when Sure Signal is on.

 

Everything else is ok

 

I'm using a BB Z10 os10.2.1.2977, the last software upgrade was over 3 months ago.

Hi iainsymac,

 

Are the other users registered to your Sure Signal, able to make calls?

 

It’s not showing a location change.

 

Please test your Sure Signal using a different internet connection (at a friends or family’s address).

 

Thanks,

 

Gemma
