Samsung Galaxy S II :: Cannot Make Calls From Abroad
Sep 7, 2011
I have a Bulgarian SIM card (with roaming activated) and everything worked fine in Bulgaria. However, I went to Denmark. I switched the airplane mode on in the plane and when I turned that mode offf, I got the message 'emergency calls only', which prevents me from making any calls. I bought a Danish SIM card but I got the same message. I have another phone with me (some old Alcatel) and both SIM cards work pretty fine there.

I am off to Spain for a couple of weeks. I would like to use my phone abroad but not the internet through the data or anything else that uses the data There is free wifi at the Hotel so I just want to use that. How do I avoid any additional charges other than for phone calls. Are there specific settings that I need to change temporarily

I'm going to Thailand next month and want to know if my SGH-T329 T-Mobile cell phone (without Internet or text features turned on) will work. Will I be able to make and receive calls?

I am currently on holiday in Thailand and some of the trip involves me travelling alone. Since I have been here I have no signal and cannot receive/make texts/calls. I was told by friends to turn off roaming when away in order to stop emails, facebook updates and the like coming through on my phone and therefore resulting in a large bill. I emailed my network provider Vodafone but they have responded by saying in order to receive/make texts/calls I have to have roaming switched on?! Is there any way of enabling texts/calls without having constant emails and facebook updates etc coming through? I don't understand why so many people would use Blackberry if you can't switch off these things and just use phone as standard like you can on all other makes of phone to my knowledge.

I have bought a galaxy S5 model SM-G900T and i have been using it on my VIVO sim card ( BRASIL ) for about 6 months now, last week it has stopped making and receiving calls or sms, but 4G is working fine. I tried to factory reset, downgrade, upgrade, but still can't make calls.

Recently upgraded from HTC Rezound to Galaxy S5. Never had an issue with the Rezound in making/receiving phone calls.
Last week, noticed that I couldn't make a phone call. Spent an hour on the phone with Verizon tech and they sent me to a local Verizon store for a new sim card. I walked in, told the agent why I was there. He immediately took my phone, changed a couple of settings, and voila, my phone worked again.
Today, same thing. I looked at the settings and they hadn't changed from what he set it to. The only new thing on my phone was the addition of Dashlane, a password keeper program.

Brand new here. I recently just went from iPhone to a galaxy s5. I'm with Verizon. For some reason when I try to make a phone call it's says Dialing then it ends the call before it starts to ring. I can get incoming calls fine. As you see in the picture it keeps saying cancelled. It doesn't matter who I try to call, it says cancelled. I've already done a factory reset and I've taken my sim card out n put it back in.

I just came from an Archos 5 Internet Tablet, which means that I'm pretty savvy with android, but several things are different (e.g. orientation, manufacturer's modifications).So, I have a few queries, the most important is about backgrounds.I am a keen photographer, and I was wondering what is the best way to crop a background on photoshop, so that it slides right into the homescreen with no trouble.I am guessing for the background, it would be 800px high, or perhaps less, depending on whether it is overlapped by the status bar or whether it begins underneath. If I wanted a non-moving background I would guess I'd want 480px across, but what about if I want a moving one?

My galaxy s5 got some water damage I think because since then when I go to make a call or accept a call it automatically freezes and restarts. Also the speaker does not work from the damage. Can I not take calls because the speaker doesn't work?

I know the S6 does not support MHL(ridiculous) but I am wondering if it is possible to flash firmware that gives you MHL compatibility?

Does anyone know if Samsung plan to make a proper dock for the SGSII? I like the idea of just having a dock on the side so when I come home I can just sit it in there and it will be connected to my TV/AV system and charging. I know the MHL link will allow this but don't like having cables all over the place!!!

I have this problem since I bought my S6. The thing is that I can't call anyone or text or surf on the internet. It doesnt happen all the time. But when it happens, I need to restart the phone so that I can do these things. It happens when there is no reason. Imagine that I lock my screen. Then I take my phone and want to call or text or surf on the internet, it won't let me. The signal level is ok. I have changed my sim card. There were 2 updates, I installed them but still happens.

I see there are a dozen or so Text Alert Tone options on the S2, but none of them are very loud at full volume. My old Nokia used to make a really loud "dong-dong" whenever a Text arrived, but I'm finding it easy to miss Text arrivals on the S2.

I am relatively new with my Galaxy SII, and noticed that when I receive either a sms or notification, the phone sounds too low. I can't even noticed it has vibrated (since it vibrates only once, comparing with a phone call). I have some programs like skype and viber which also can't listend if someone calls me.
how to make better volume for this type of operations??

When I try to make a call from my Samsung Galaxy 5, I click on the phone icon, it then gives me a message that my contacts have stopped. The message goes away and my phone goes back to home screen. I can't make any calls. I can receive a call and text. When I text the contact list comes up, but not when I try to make a call. Is there a setting I should look for that I may have accidentally overrode or deleted?

Started to get to grips with my S2 after switching over from Blackberry for business. Must admit, i'm quite enjoying it now! I still use an iPhone for personal so it's quite nice to have the comparison..Anyway, sitting at my desk with my headset on I would love to be able to answer my client calls and reply to SMS by using my PC instead of the phone itself. It may sound lazy but it'd be so much quicker to just stick it in a USB dock or something and then not have to worry about it again all day.Is this possible? I've seen something called MOBILedit but the reviews don't seem too clever.

I was wondering where blacklisted calls go to? Do they go to my mailbox or are they just getting cut off? I'm getting slightly spooky phonecalls. Does not hide his number, so I could blacklist him and I think I can sill see in my log when and if he calls, so i was just wondering where his calls end up.

Does everybody else find phone calls too quiet when using a plugged in headset? music can go loud, so the hardware can clearly drive the speakers but phone calls are very quiet even on max volume. I have the current firmware (updated through Kies).
