Internet and phone problems happen. A quick routine fixes most of them.
INTERNET NOT WORKING
• Restart the router. Unplug it, wait a minute, and plug it back in.
• Check the cables and lights. Red or blinking lights usually mean a line problem.
• Test on a different device to see if the problem is the device or the network.
• Call your provider's support line. Many have English options, or you can ask a Hebrew-speaking roommate to help.
PHONE PROBLEMS
• Restart your phone and check airplane mode.
• Reinsert the SIM or reset the eSIM.
• Check that you have not run out of data or credit.
TIPS
• Note the time and date of each call, and ask for a case number.
• If an issue continues, ask for a technician visit.
• Providers sometimes offer a credit for long outages. You have to ask.
WATCH OUT FOR
Do not give your personal details or passwords to unexpected callers claiming to be from your provider.
