I just bought a new Android Mini last night. Did all the updates, charged it back up and thought I was good to go. I'm having the same problem described here (calls going straight to VM without ringing). Verified it myself with Skype. Was looking at my phone at the time, had three bars the whole time (though the bars are going from 1-3 even though I'm supposed to be in a main coverage area - 80033 zip code). I tried the *228, *73 and making an outgoing call, as advised when reading through this forum. Still no incoming calls. It looks like those are the only answers offered by Verizon on this and numerous forums when you google the topic. Lots of concern, no real solutions. I tried going into live chat and all agents are busy. I'm in the middle of my work day and can't receive calls and don't receive missed call notifications. I doubt this will be resolved by tonight, and I've already spent way more time on forums than I should have to with a Brand New Phone, so it's back to Best Buy tonight to switch out for a different phone / different provider. I had Verizon for years without a problem, so it's disappointing to encounter this - I was wiling to pay more money than I was for "good coverage".
