For the last week I've noticed that if I leave my wifi signal, I have no texting or phone. Once it switches to 4G, the signal bars go from full to nothing and back again. I can't make calls or send/receive texts. I do have data/internet, etc. I can't figure if it's on Virgin's end or if it's...

Although not intentionally. I've noticed if I am on wifi and then go outside to 4G, if I had texts sending they get "stuck." Once I lose the wifi signal, jd kicks in on the data connection and outgoing texts get stuck. At first, I couldn't figure out what was causing this. Since I've...

"This is a test of the CMAS text alert system. This is only a test." I've been getting this every hour on the hour today.

This started the other day and after pulling the battery and such, no improvement. Any ideas? It's funny for about 10 secs and then it's confusing and hard to understand callers. Thanks!

But it did on my OV. This is frustrating because I use 41411 to text the Chicago cta for bus and L times. Any ideas on what the deal is?

I hit *86 and noticed when my minute checker popped up it was counting down the minutes I have left til next cycle. Really, a CS call isn't free? I've also noticed that when someone leaves a voicemail, it counts against your minutes, as does calling voice mail (unless I'm somehow mistaken).

So here's the deal: I went to text someone and got a pop up asking me to specify how to send it. I got gosms, google voice, and messaging. I had called this person from GV so I hit gosms. Did it send from GV using gosms? Do you see what I mean? Is there a way to tell?

About twice a day my phone just starts playing this classical ringtone for no reason. It won't stop until I hit the standby button. What causes this? I see no alert or anything on the homescreen.
