Lost Mobile Phone cannot be removed from system
Lost my Cox purchased mobile flip phone. Went to the retail store with substitute iPhone that was approved. Retail store gave me a new SIM card and told me to wait a few hours. It has been 13 days and no activation on my substitute iphone and Cox flip phone still listed in my account. I have spoken to at least 10 techs on this. Responses varied from "wait a few hours" to "it takes 5 working days" to "I can only escalate this to our highest tech support in Atlanta". I even received another SIM card from Allison who thought that might work. I just can't understand why the lost flip phone cannot be removed from the system by the local retail store. From what I can gather, the deletion of a mobile phone in the system to be replaced by another phone also in the system is not in the script the techs follow so they just come up with their own response to make the customer go away. Now I am waiting for the tech support gurus in Atlanta but have no idea when they might get back to me or even confirmation that they received my ticket. What is it going to take?Call forwarding question
Does anyone know if my phone should ring when I have call forwarding turned on because it never used to ring when it was turned on but now it does and I don't know how to stop it from ringing but the call forwarding is working? I can take it off the hook to stop it from ringing but I never had to do this before.
Landline outgoing call are garbled
This has been going on for a while. I can hear calls, but the caller either cannot hear me or it sounds very distorted. So far I've had 2 Cox techs out to my home. They replaced the phone modem, tested the internal wiring and external connections and it still does not work. I plugged in a known working phone directly into the modem and it still doesn't work. The Cox tech plugged his test set directly into the modem with the same results. I need my home phone. I'm getting ready to drop Cox completely. I need something reliable.Welcome to the Phone Forum

Strange phone number in landline call history log
For several months my landline call log displays (202) 410-8608 as a call originating from my phone along with the number I do call. I also see this phone number when someone calls me as well. I googled the number and see a lot of aggravating comments. Is this something I should be concerned about?
