Unable to connect to dispatch center since end of October 2020

Hi @kefine,

It looks as though you have already gotten in touch with our Support Team but just to make sure, we'll make sure to have someone reach out to you shortly to confirm.

@ kefine I am in the greater Chicagoland area and no connectivity issues. I have SS3 and an newly replaced comm board with a 4G Verizon SIM.  One question: has anyone at SS talked to you about upgrading your comm board yet? The 2G comm board in the base is being phased out and may have already been shut down in your area.

Honestly, I think SS should start sending notices every day regarding the modules, to those they know need them updated - people shouldn't have to ask, that's SS' job, notify your users! (if that's indeed the issue).

I'm having the same issue with the original Simplisafe System, i.e. it cannot connect to the dispatch center.  This is a very recent problem.  I was able to speak to customer support after being on hold for about an hour.  They did send a replacement base station but that too has the issue, so I'm sitting on hold once again.  Very frustrating problem, as is the lack of timely customer support.

@jtk1967,

It sounds like since we've already replaced your Base Station, it should already be updated to the latest cell module, including 4G connectivity. Yours might be more of a cell coverage situation. Do you know if you have good coverage for Verizon in that area? Something might have changed recently in their network.

I do see on your account that you were able to get hold of our Support team yesterday. But if you still need help, we can get you in touch with one of our specialists.

@timothy.maclean Suggest you call Simplisafe at 800-548-9508 (8:00am~Midnight, ET) to talk to one of their representatives.

Yes,it has been happening 90% of the time over the last few months. We have an original system and am guessing it could be a firmware issue. We sent an e-mail today to support ( can't wait an hour + on the phone), no answer yet.
