    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Lumia 950 is HD Voice compatible and on the ATT whitelist of supported phones. Unfortunately Cricket (owned by ATT) chose not to provision the HD voice. The Lumia 650 also supports HD Voice but Cricket response was it did not support enough of the LTE bands to warrant keeping them alive even...

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    My Lumia 950 still works on Cricket for data and sms but no voice. They refuse to provision it. My Lumia 650's do not work. I put my sim in for kicks and it came up with LTE data but got a text saying to reboot phone to finish setting up. As soon as phone rebooted I got a nasty text saying my...

Text and Data work fine, HD Voice is turned on, but all incoming calls go straight to voicemail, and I cannot make an outgoing call. After much time on phone...

    I have contacted Cricket, they act confused. I have two Lumia 950's and both are doing the same. So you are saying that IMS "Unregistered " doesn't matter? On my daughter iPhone SE IMS shows registered. I will try calling them again.

    cricket hd voice

    Thank you. My phone is an ATT phone that has been unlocked to work on Cricket (who is owned by ATT but sep. company) HD voice is on although IMS status is "Unregistered" I believe that is reason for problem. ATT has this Lumia 950 on white list.

ATT has a list with the 950 on it saying good to go, oddly don't recall specific listing for 950XL. The Lumia 830 is on good list and so is the 640XL, this is why I am trying...

    How do we confirm if the Cricket branded Lumia 650 supports Cricket and ATT after February 2022? My daughter got the text message saying it will be shut off. My other daughter also got the message for her Alcatel Idol 4S Windows phone. My Lumia 950 is safe.

    Windows Phones in 2020

    I am not concerned with "apps" just the ability to do a clean install and set up the Microsoft account. I found out the hard way last year when I hard reset my mothers win 8 phone and couldn't set up her account. Thanks Dan

    Windows Phones in 2020

    Can we still do a clean install and set up our Microsoft account? Cricket is trying to kill off my two daughters phones. A cricket branded Lumia 650 and a unlocked Alcatel idol 4s. I know the Alcatel is supported if they will provision, not sure on the 650. I have a spare Lumia 950 but don't...

    I'm standing my ground, and sticking with Windows Mobile.

    Hate to say it, but you may need to do a hard reset. All of your contacts, calendar and outlook email is saved in cloud. They can be accessed through outlook.com. Settings app is part of the rom image and should be restored upon a hard reset. you should be able to restore apps from a backup...
