Poor Audio
􀂄 Is the customer experiencing this on every call?
􀂄 Does the customer have a headset plugged into phone?
􀂄 Check phone settings for Mute.
􀂄 Does this happen in every location the customer has attempted to use the phone?
􀂄 If yes, this is an equipment issue.
􀂄 Place a test call to the customer.
􀂄 If the call connects and they still can’t be heard, there could possibly be a problem with the equipment.
􀂄 If the calling party is getting dead air when dialing the customer, verify that auto answer is turned off.
􀂄 When did the problem begin?
􀂄 Is the customer picking up a 1X or EVDO signal on the handset?
􀂄 Check signal strength.
􀂄 If a poor signal is being received, educate the customer on limitations of wireless service. The customer may need to try the phone in a different location.

Keypad Problem
􀂄 If it is the Keypad sound, check phone settings for Keypad Volume.
􀂄 If customer is stating that Keypad will not light up, check phones settings for Backlight.
􀂄 If one or more keys do not function, it is an equipment issue.

No Ringer
􀂄 If it is a ringing volume issue, check phone settings for ringing volume.
􀂄 If it is not ringing at all, check phone for ringer settings. (i.e. Is it on Silence or Vibrate only?)
􀂄 Does the customer have a headset connected to the phone? If so, remove headset from phone and check ringer. (Some handsets will only ring in the headset when one is attached.)

Charging Port Problem
􀂄 Are the charger lights lit (if available) or does the Battery meter on the handset scroll (showing charging)?
􀂄 If yes, the issue is probably not the port, but a battery/handset issue, see Battery Charging Problem.
􀂄 If no, check connections and try a different wall outlet.
􀂄 Use another charger (or VPC) to test with? Does the phone charge with the second one?
􀂄 If the problem occurs with more than one power source, then the problem will probably be with the handset.
􀂄 If the phone charges with a different charger, the original charger is defective, not the handset.
􀂄 Wiggle the charger connection in the handset port with a known working charger.
􀂄 If the Handset intermittently starts and stops charging, it is probably a defective charging port on the handset.

Battery Charging Problem
􀂄 Are the charger lights lit (if available) or does the Battery meter on the handset scroll (showing charging)?
􀂄 Check connections and try a different wall outlet.
􀂄 Are the connections between the phone and the battery clean?
􀂄 Is there contact between the phone and battery ports? 􀂄 Are you having a problem with more than one battery? Does the phone work with the VPC or other charger?
􀂄 If the problem occurs with more than one battery/power source, then the problem will probably be with the handset.
􀂄 How old is the battery?
􀂄 Verizon Wireless recommends customers purchase new batteries every year. VZW batteries have a one-year warranty. Any battery has only a limited number of charges in its life.

Data Port Problem
􀂄 Wiggle the Data Cable connection in the handset port.
􀂄 If the Handset intermittently starts and stops connecting, it is probably a defective data port on the handset.
􀂄 Test with another data cable. Does the phone connect with the second one?
􀂄 If the problem occurs with more than one Data cable, then the problem will probably be with the handset. If the phone connects with a different data cable, the original cable is defective, not the handset.

Handset Gets Hot
􀂄 Inform the customer that under certain conditions handsets will become warmer than usual during the following situations, warming is not necessarily a sign of defect.
􀂄 Prolonged Talk time (more than 5 minutes)
􀂄 During charging (home charger or car charger)
􀂄 In very weak Signal areas (more power is needed to stay connected)
􀂄 Older or Aftermarket battery being used
􀂄 It is very rare for a handset to be the cause of excessive heat conditions, but if the customer is adamant that there has been a significant change in the handset temperature, then the handset could be at fault.
􀂄 Note: Extreme and significant overheating! If the customer complains of extreme overheating (using words such as: "fire," "smoke," "swelling of the battery," "explosion," “property damage” or “personal injury”), have the customer contact Verizon Wireless directly.

“No Service” Indicator is on
􀂄 Where is the customer located, have they had service there before?
􀂄 Is the System Select set up properly? (ie Not on “Home Only”)
􀂄 Is the phone programmed properly?
􀂄 Determine when and where the problem is occurring.
􀂄 Is the "No Service" indicator on regardless of location? If so, this indicates that there may be a problem with the equipment.
􀂄 Advise customer to power phone off, remove battery, replace and power phone back on. (Power Cycle)
􀂄 Educate the customer on limitations of wireless service. The customer may need to try the phone in a different location.
􀂄 If above does not resolve the problem the handset is probably defective.

􀂄 Trees / Buildings / Basements, etc.
􀂄 Elevation
􀂄 Distance from cell tower
􀂄 Capacity (Number of people on the network at one time)

Can’t Receive Calls
􀂄 Can the customer make outgoing calls?
􀂄 If not refer to Fast Busy / No Service guides.
􀂄 If the customer can make outgoing calls but not receive calls, it is probably not a problem with the handset. See below for other problems.
􀂄 Place a test calls to the customer's phone.
􀂄 Check ESN/MTN match in Billing System. If there has been a recent ESN change, is the old phone turned off (sometimes the old handset still receives calls until the switch request goes through completely)?

􀂄 Check the customer call restrictions in the billing system or handset.

Static
􀂄 Ask the customer for details on how often this happens and in what areas?
If only occasionally or only in some areas or only on some numbers dialed:
􀂄 Check signal strength. If a poor signal is being received, educate the customer on limitations of wireless service. Customer may need to trythe phone in a different location.
􀂄 Check VZMap for coverage.
􀂄 If the static only happens when calling a specific number, the problem is probably with the landline to that number.
If Consistently and Frequently:
􀂄 Frequent Static in known good service areas at various call times, can indicate a defective handset.
Inconsistencies in coverage may be due to any of the following variables:
􀂄 Trees / Buildings / Basements, etc.
􀂄 Elevation

􀂄 Verify customer is in the requested type of coverage area using VZMap.
􀂄 Call VZW to have them check the billing system for needed feature codes or blocks that would affect the requested service.
􀂄 If the handset still does not show the requested coverage, check to insure that the customer has not selected a handset setting blocking the requested coverage on the phone’s settings (i.e. Force Call, etc.)

Messaging Issues
􀂄 Check the customer’s equipment to ensure that they have a Picture Messaging capable handset.
􀂄 If they do not have a Picture Messaging capable handset, educate the customer that they will not be able to send/receive pictures from their handset. Advise the customer that if they are sent a Pix Message they will receive a text message advising them that they can go to www.vzwpix.com to view the picture.

􀂄 Contact VZW to see if there is a possible PIX/FLIX outage.
􀂄 If yes, advise the customer of the known issue.
􀂄 If the issue is still unresolved, continue basic troubleshooting.
􀂄 Ask VZW to check to make sure the customer has the correct feature codes on the account.
􀂄 If that was the issue, once the codes are corrected, have the customer power off the phone; make a test call to #832. The customer should be able to send/receive video messages.
􀂄 Ask VZW to check to make sure that TXT Message Blocking (VBLOC/TXT MSG SERVICE BLOCKED) feature code is not on the customer’s account.
􀂄 If the customer has a TXT Message Blocking feature code on the account, have them remove the feature code from the account and then power cycle the device.

􀂄 If the issue is still unresolved, continue basic troubleshooting.
􀂄 Find out if the customer is located in the National Enhanced Services Area? Does customer show 1X or EV on the phone?
􀂄 You may Use VZW Map Tool to search by zip code, city, etc.
􀂄 If not, customer will not be unable to receive picture messages on their camera phone if they are not in the National Enhanced Service Area.
􀂄 If the issue is still unresolved, continue basic troubleshooting.
􀂄 Is it happening when they are roaming?
􀂄 If yes, make sure the customer is within the VZW National Enhanced Services Area.
􀂄 If the issue is still unresolved, continue basic troubleshooting.
􀂄 Ask the customer what is the message origin. (E-mail, handset, Web site, etc).
