Answer
The cellular system did not process your call. For
example, the cellular system may be overloaded with
call attempts. To redial, press
call attempt, or press
(See "Redialing a Number" on page 32.)
Your call did not reach the cellular system. You may have
dialed the number too soon after turning the phone on.
Wait until the "NS" light stops blinking before placing a
call.
An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone's
signal is blocked. Be sure you're clear of any
obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall
buildings.
You may have turned off the Scratchpad tones. Place
your call, enter the access numbers when prompted by
the recording, then press
problem in the future, follow the directions "Turning
Scratchpad Tones On and Off" on page 82 to turn the
Scratchpad tones on.
Report a stolen phone to the police and to your service
provider (the company that sends you your monthly
cellular service bills).
You may have turned off your Scratchpad tones. Follow
the directions in "Turning Scratchpad Tones On and Off"
on page 82 to turn the Scratchpad tones on.
Check that you stored your calling card information in
the correct order, and make sure the groups of numbers
are separated by pauses. The easiest way to correct the
sequence may be to start from scratch. Follow the
instructions on "Storing Calling Card Information" on
page 56, enter your calling card information again, and
store it in the same memory location as your previous
attempt.
Also keep in mind that when using your calling card, you
must enter the number you are calling with the area
code, but without the initial "1. " Check with your long
distance carrier for details on using your calling card.
