Most phones have an specific amount of maximum text messages it can hold. Make sure your Inbox has no more than 100 messages in it. If there are 100+ messages, remove some, and you should be able to get your new messages.

If you can switch to nam1, that is your active phone number. If its asking for the code first the code will be 000000 or 0000

Try reprogramming it back onto the network by pressing *228 and selecting option two. If it doesn't make a phone call at all, check around with friends in the area to see if they're having a simliar issue. If not, then call Verizon and they'll walk you through troubleshooting the phone.
It sounds like the transiever in the phone may be burnt out, so if troubleshooting doesnt help, then you'll need a service center. Visit verizonwireless.com for repair centers, and then call to confirm they'll repair the phone onsite rather than sending it out.

Tough situation. It sounds like your phone was set to lock on power up and your NAM was accidentally switch to the secondary one (this causes the phone to reboot.)

You can try for 0000 but usually Verizon has the default number set to something other than 000-000-0000. Give 2805 a shot if 0000 doesn't work.

Is there any instance that you dropped the phone or exposed it to any type of liquid?
I think you need to have a replacement LCD for the phone.

have it replaced, it's defective.

Verizon told me that maybe at the store they could possibly download the software back on to my phone......that's a big maybe. The tech told me that once it gets to this point, a lot of time it's too late. If they can it will happen, if they can't oh well, I'll get another phone and go on. I really like this phone and the version 2 from what I was told, won't do this. But I also know to back everything up.

it may be due to no some space in card,,,
or reinstall the software (flash);;;;;;;
and when you connt with pc in the mobile screen select mass storage mode ........try

Back up any saved music/sms/contacts/pictures/videos onto a pc
(you shouldnt lose them but just incase)

1. Phone Settings.
2. Security
3. Code is the last four digits of your phone number (unless you have changed it personally)
4. reset settings

Call T mobile they are the only ones who provide that information it's different for every phone. When you call you'll need your IMEI or MEI number or Serial Number for them to do it. Hope i've helped you out, sorry your having trouble.

If its not the battery, it sounds like a defect. I would trade it in for another model and be done with the alias.

try with another battery. if it charge you have battery problem. if it doesnt you have motherboard problem with phone

if your settings are ok sounds like you have a short or defective phone i encountered this before and i had to take it back to the store and get another one.goo luck.

I would recommend a hard-reset of the device. Keep in mind that this will delete all of your contact information and customized settings.

On a side note, be careful not to accidentally press the speaker-phone button on the right side of the phone during a call. I used to have this phone and I would sometimes do it without even realizing it.
