Hi everyone,

A family member tried to call from overseas multiple times, and I never got a ring or missed call or anything from my N900. I was told it rung through all its rings, on their side, and then went to voice mail at which point they hung up, still nothing on my end.

Alarmed, I grabbed my housemates phone and tried calling myself. I have internet connection (as if it matters?) and decent-full reception, and experience the same thing! It's ringing on their end, and evetually going to my voice mail, but no call, no missed call notification, no nothing on my phone. I even restarted my N900 and still have the same issue afterwards.

What do I do?! H4lp!

P.S. Please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place. I'm not sure about the "BUG" procedures, and if this would even be considered one.

Try to restart the device. It's really common for me to get 'call errors' when making calls, and I frequently do not receive SMS/phone calls/voicemail if the device has been on for more than a day. A restart usually fixes it temporarily..

I am indeed on AT$T, it says 2.5 under my reception (what exactly is the 2.5? Is that opposed to 3 or 3.5g speed connection that I'll get on T-mobile?). Right now I'm connected to our houses wireless router. I have connection set to "Dual" (I don't completely understand what the difference between GSM or 3G is :P )

Hmmm, I had the same problem before I switched to T-Mobile. 2.5 is not 3G and there is a big speed difference between those. Most importantly with 3G you can use the connection for internet and still get the phone calls/sms at the same time. I guess this is the issue you're having right now. But you said that you're connected wireless router. That's interesting. Most of the time I was listening to online radio and missing those all calls.

That's disgusting. Didn't the Iphone have this problem initially?!

Anyway, is this supposed to be expected even if i WAS on the interwebz?

This has to be handled on the carrier's side. The N900 can't see incoming calls while online to know it has to disable internet.
