I tried to call a relative of mine many times, who later told me he screens calls by letting it go to an answering machine. Only it never did. So I wrote to him via snail mail. When he finally called me, my phone hung up after only one ring. When I returned his call, I reached a "Funeral Scheduling" service.

Also, several text messages I sent and received while on a road trip were not received until three days later.

Have things like this happened to anyone else? What might explain it?

I know a business owner with business service lines and for almost a month no calls are delivered to any of his lines. They all go to voice mail, and he's not notified of voice mail until 1-2 days later. He's reached out to his carrier and no one will fix or give him an answer as to what's causing it.

We've had calls not ring our phones and go to voice mail, as well. Service is shit everywhere.

That truly sucks. Was it Verizon?

Verizon for the businessman. A different but equally large provider for us. Everyone shares all the same networks, so it's really a matter of just figuring out which will be the smaller bill these days. Ting was great, but had a lot of dead zones in my neck of the woods, or I'd still be with them. Some months my bills were barely $10.
