You may want to send an email then, unless you can wait until Monday when the HughesNet reps on this site will be back. To send an email, click on CONTACT US at the top of these pages, then click Email Us.   You can also use the chat feature.

If you haven't already tried, and the reps didn't do so remotely, you may want to power cycle your HughesNet equipment.  To do so...

 

1.  Unplug the HughesNet modem and the ATA (the Voice box).

2.  After waiting at least 60 seconds, plug the HughesNet modem back in.

3.  After waiting at least five minutes, plug the ATA back in.

4.  After waiting for a couple of minutes in order to ensure that the ATA is fully back up and ready, try the service again. 

 

If the equipment has had some sort of "glitch", this procedure can sometimes get it working properly again.

Good morning Vicki,

 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community! I ran diagnostics on your site to make sure the internet service supporting your Voice service was working normally, and good news it's all fine on that front.

 

Did Gabe's suggestion above make any difference?

 

Do you have a dial tone currently?

 

Please look for the MAC address on the ATA (the phone box we provided) and let me know what it is so I can confirm it's the same in our system. 

 

Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Liz
