What happens if you call someone who has no service?
Often when a phone is turned off or a cellphone network is unable to reach it for some other reason, like remote location with no reception, the phone will ring only briefly. In some cases, a phone may go directly to voicemail if someone else is in the process of calling it.
Will someone’s phone ring if they don’t have service?
No it wouldn’t. Since the phone is not able to connect to the carrier network it wouldn’t ring. Callers would get the voicemail message or the cannot reach the person/out of network range message will be played depending on the region of the world.
How many times does phone ring if no service?
Depending on your cell carrier, calls are directed to voicemail after four or five rings, or after 25-30 seconds. There are going to be other factors that can affect how many times the phone rings, but assuming the phone is on and the person is just unavailable, four or five rings is what to expect.
How do you know if someone phone is disconnected?
In any case, it is relatively easy to check to see whether the phone you are holding has been disconnected.
- Charge the phone completely.
- Turn the phone on and look at its number.
- Try to dial a number that you know works, such as a landline or another cell phone in your house.
How do you know if someone doesn’t have service?
If the phone rings numerous times, but goes to voicemail, that may mean the phone number is still in service. If the number is not in service, when you call it may ring once or twice but you will then get an automated message. This message will state that the number is no longer in service, or something similar.
