Why no call quality problems w/ this Verizon Wireless device (used w/ my old landl cordless phone) but my Verizon cell works poorly in same location?

It is not connected over VOIP. This device is basically a cell phone in a box. It is possible that your cellular phone has poor reception or has reception problems. Or just that the home phone device has a better antenna.

I think because it's connected directly over VOIP. We have a cell booster in addition to this product though.

I have a cordless phone and cell phone and have used both in the same location as the speakers. Nothing has happened to either phones reception or sound. Also have not had any issue with sound from the speakers. I mute the speakers when using either phone where the speakers are. When using the phones and not in the chair where speakers are, I do not mute the speakers and have no issues with phone or speaker use. Others use phones in the same room and no issues. Have not noted any issues at my Father-in-law's, who also has the speakers, when cordless and cell phones are used. So no issues and nothing happens as all devices continue to work normally.

I have a feeling it is your network/service provider coverage area and not the phone. I could be wrong, but I had no such issues with the phone.

I had no problem with mine . You just have to make sure the carrier you are going to use has service in that area. I used mine when I was out of State, but the carrier had no service in my home area.

It's a model that was released about 2.5 years ago. I purchased mine used in December and I have found no problems thus far with using the current Verizon network. But suddenly my phone has started moving slowly...not sure what that's about. I'm going to take it in to the Verizon store to see if they have any ideas. I had been having a bit of an issue with the keyboard at first and the guy said he remembered a glitch that came with this model and did a fix on it which worked very well.

I have mine installed at our lake house, and have not had any issue with it dropping signal level. I have used it on a MiFi hot spot and our new Verizon modem without any such issues. Sounds like a malfunction in one of the pieces of equipment. Do you have another device that you could try to see if it is the antenna or your MiFi device?

I have not had a problem with mine - it is full duplex. It sounds like a problem with internal wiring if it happens on all calls.

The "cell tower" connectivity is back hauled over your internet connection. There is an Ethernet connection on the back of the unit that you use to connect to your router. The GPS thing is required for it to work. I'm not sure exactly they require it, but I'm guessing it has to do with their service areas or something. Calls and texts work pretty well, but you are going to have to get the little good receiver near a window. It has a fairly long cable, maybe 12-15 or something like that.

Mine worked fine in the same conditions as yours I have one for sale cheap because I am no longer a Verizon customer $100.00 only used 4 months

Honestly I haven't noticed any issues with the signal, I mean I've only recently been using it but that doesn't seem to have happenes yet. I live in miami maybe its just location strength?

If the base station phone is working, then I'd suggest unplugging the base station and putting it in another phone jack in the house. The only time I've gotten that display was when my FIOS line was accidentally cut. It just sounds like the base station isn't communicating with the handsets. I have two different cordless base stations in my house, and haven't had a problem, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

I live in a remote area where reception is spotty at best (verizon). ATT owns most of the towers and kicked verizon out so no phones work but mine--I can call from impossible places.

Mine is located 3 rooms away on the other side of the house and it seems to be working OK. As the Wireless G/N only works in the 2.4ghz range, you might want to check for other interference sources - primarily cordless phones & microwaves that work on the same frequency. Also you might want to check to make sure the player isn't sitting particular close to a speaker and that you have decent, shielded A/V cables and a good surge protector.

They supplied me with one after months of arguing with them about dropping my phone calls. I did a factory reset, new phone, then new sim card and nothing worked. I should be receiving this from Verizon today and hopefully it solves my issues. I had no issue with my service the first year I had the phone then they believe they lost a contract with a tower which made my signal drop down.

I would recommend contacting Verizon and asking what frequency they are utilizing in your area. If it is within the frequency range for this unit it should work.

I've had no reception problems with my Asha 302. One of the few places it won't pick up a signal is underground in the subway. Perhaps your workplace blocks cellphone usage due to security. Another factor could be that certain providers have coverage in particular places than others.

I'm glad you request this question. This is a terrible product, and worst tech support. The signal drops out quite often. Echoing from time to time Cannot used the product well since I bought it. Finally I revert to my old land line. Iwon't recommend this product. When I terminate my service, Ooma is asking if I want to donate my unit I think for charity...Uh.
