Re: Verizon problem: cannot dial out
What this message means, if I remember the US system correctly, is the phone is unable to receive any signal from your carrier's tower, so it is accessing any available tower. By law, all carrier's towers must transmit emergency calls for free. Therefore, you are being told that you can make an emergency call to 911 if necessary. Otherwise, you do not have cellular coverage at this time.

Re: Verizon problem: cannot dial out

Re: Verizon problem: cannot dial out
The only thing I can think of doing about it is to call your cellular provider using your land line and reporting the lack of signal. This will notify them of the necessity of getting a technician out to fix the tower.

Re: Verizon problem: cannot dial out
Yes, that is right. I used my almost-nver-used landline, which just payed for itself, and called verizon. After some testing and trying, we decided that my phones are a part of a market with tower problems right now. I thought it might be that since both of my phones were having the same problem.
