I have the same issue. Tried all the troubleshooting tips, phone is fine on 3G when elsewhere. Have even de-registered and re-registered the unit with no luck. Had previously been working for well over a year with no issues.

Hi mrbooth
Thanks for your post. Your tests are fine and your IP is whitelisted.
The Sure Signal does show as connecting our network at 00:34 this morning, so I’ve resynced it for you to push through any updates that you may not have received.
You’ll need to perform a factory reset as follows:
How many phones are you trying to connect? Is it an issue with just one or all numbers?
Thanks
Simon

Hi there mrbooth,
Thanks for posting.
As this hasn't worked, I've forwarded your details to the 3rd line tech team for further help.
When thwey come back to me I'll let you know.
Hey arwenbwilson,
I've checked your VSS and it connected to our network on Friday morning.
How are things today?
If there's no change, please factory reset the VSS again but this time take the cable out for about 5 minutes.
Cheers,
LeeH
