Hello, Folks,
I am not a telephone professional, but I have a major problem with my
cell phone: the number is 269-692-3692.
I am learning that when businesses with switchboards call me on this
number, all they receive is a busy signal. They are never able to
reach me, and end up calling me on a personal cell phone, which makes
me a tad uncomfortable.
My phone is a Samsung A640, and the carrier is Sprint.
This ONLY happens from LOCAL businesses with more than one telephone
line.
It DOES NOT happen from single-line land-line phones, other cell
phones, LONG-DISTANCE businesses outside of the 269 (SW Michigan) area
code, or local businesses with just one telephone line.
Any ideas from this group of talented professionals?
Many Thanks for your help and consideration.
Sincerely,
Matthew McCormick

If it were me I'd first check with of those problem "business'" who's
switchboard is willing to make a couple of test calls for you.
Then I would go to the largest Sprint service center in your area and have
them explain in person why it happens in front of their eyes. They can call
for 2nd or higher tech support and usually can get a problem like this fixed
in a few minutes. It sounds like the local switch has your number
configured incorrectly.

Try businesses with different carriers. Sounds like a carrier problem.

How long has this number been ported to your cell phone? I'd probably
start with Ameritech and ask them to check translations on the
porting. Since Otsego only has 2 main exchanges owned by Ameritech,
it's possible they missed something on the switch, or the local
business has alternative service too.

And a regular customer, or complainer, is going to reach someone
who knows about translation tables, how, exactly?
Best alternative: Make _one_ call to the original poster's
cellco, and _one_ call to the local ILEC serving those businesses [a].
If, or rather when, that doesn't work (give them, say, 3 business
days), then kick it to... the Public Service Commission
for that state.
