Using a k750i and T-mobile. I recently switched from Cingular with a v180. Sometimes my phone doesn't ring, it'll just all of a sudden notify me that I have a voicemail. Not record of receiving a call at all. Just now, someone tried to call, phone sitting on my desk w/ 5 bars reception, and I got nothing.

What's the deal?

K750i does not have 850mhz, what kind of towers do you have around your area?

The other thing to try is flashing your firmware to the latest, see if that helps

Problem is with the k750i. More likely with tmobile though.

try getting the newest firmware off the UK site?

I updated the firmware shortly after receiving the phone. I think the only firmware in english is from the UK, as this phone wasn't sold in America, right?

correct.

I have done a lot of homework on the k750i, I have gone through 3 ebay'd phones before they sent me a 'brand new' one. so now im looking for one for my girl :D. I have games, proggys, and everything that a phone could want!

Looks like i have version 1.2.0.400. Does that sound right?

You mean you went through 3 k750i phones on ebay before you found one that worked right?

Mine was brand new when I recieved it from ebay.

just run the firmware upgrade program again, no harm.

I went through 3 different k750is because they all claimed to be 'new' and one ended up having the camera not work and one had so much fuzz under the screen i couldnt even see.

fourth was brand spanking new, made sure 1000% before I even bought, hah thats my ebay horror story.
