Phones not ringing when called???

Hello. Although my family and I are fairly new to the US Cellular service, we are all experiencing one problem. Sometimes when someone calls us, the phones don't ring. They simply beep once and drop the call. The phones are all V3s (3 V3c's and 1 V3m). Any help on this topic would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Erikas

If you are out of your home area this seems to happen a lot. I don't know why and it happens once in a great while at home to me too.

i have never had that to happen in my area uscc service is pretty solid. uscc has the best service in eastern north Carolina they have a lot of towers in the rural areas and the other carriers just drool.

I just got a new phone (R470) and was sitting right next to the person calling me checking my ascending ringtone problem (another topic). She called my phone and it never rang.

Right before I got the new phone I gave a friend a ride home and when I got home she called and got my voice mail. Phone never rang.

People leave me voice mails asking why I didn't answer. Phone never rang.

It only happens every so often. Not a lot. 10 times in 3 years I guess.

Also when it happens I will have a voice mail and no missed call. These are calls where I know I was not on the phone.

I'm in Joplin Missouri.

This has happened to me a couple of times. I talked to a friend at the local store and he told me it may could be that I my tower list was not up to date. Try doing a *228 roaming list update. It helped me. I do this usually once a month. I haven't had that problem since.
