Hi! Sorry to hear your escalation call got disconnected after such a long time. That must be inconvenient. To get us started, could you please tell me a bit more about what issue you were trying to resolve with the Verizon One Talk app? For example, were you having trouble with calls dropping, app connectivity, or something else? Also, have you already tried any troubleshooting on your Mac (running OS X 10.15.7)?

Once I have a clearer picture, I can guide you through some steps to either fix the problem or help you reconnect with an escalation team member more smoothly.

The system went down last week, along with my Fios. Fios changed their equipment. Phone still didn't work when I left at 7 pm. One Talk sent a new phone. The system was up when I came in today. Changed the phone, not working again

Thanks for the detailed info—it helps a lot. So if I understand correctly, your Fios internet had an outage last week, Verizon replaced the Fios equipment, and afterward your One Talk phone still isn't working even after swapping in a replacement One Talk phone. The system is now up, but the new phone still shows no success. Is that right?

Just to clarify a couple of things before I guide you through next steps:
- Is your Mac running the One Talk app, or are you trying to use the physical One Talk phone device at your business/home location?
- When you say "not working," are you unable to make/receive calls, or is the phone not powering on, or something else?
- Did the Fios equipment replacement include a new router or any changes to your network setup?

This info will help tailor the next troubleshooting steps. But based on what you've described so far, here’s a plan:

1. Confirm Network Connectivity
Since Fios replaced your equipment, it's essential your One Talk phone or app is properly connected to the new network.
- If using the One Talk phone device, ensure it’s connected via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi to the new router.
- Check your Mac (with the One Talk app) has internet access promptly—it should be on the same network.

2. Power Cycle All Equipment
Fully power off and unplug the One Talk phone device, your Mac, and new Fios router. Wait about 2 minutes, then power on the router first. Wait for it to stabilize, then power on your One Talk phone or restart the app on Mac.

3. Verify One Talk Account Status
Sometimes the replacement Fios equipment or phone device can cause registration issues with the One Talk service.
- If you have access, log in to your Verizon One Talk Admin portal online and check if the device is registered and active.
- Confirm no service disruptions or account holds.

4. Check One Talk Phone Settings
For physical phones: Confirm the phone has the correct setup information (like network details or provisioning info). You may want to factory reset the One Talk phone to clear any old settings transferred from the previous device.
For Mac app: Ensure you are logged into the One Talk app correctly and app permissions are granted for microphone and notifications.

5. Review Fios Router Settings
Ensure the new Fios router isn’t blocking ports or QoS rules needed for One Talk. Sometimes replacing equipment resets settings that One Talk requires.

If none of this leads to a solution, we may be looking at a back-end provisioning or account-side issue needing Verizon system intervention.

Would you like me to walk you through any of the above steps, or do you want me to check if there are any known widespread outages or service impacts currently affecting your region or One Talk services?

I’m here to help you get this working. Just let me know!

can't get the phone to connect to the internet.

Thanks for clarifying that the phone is not connecting to the internet. Let’s focus on troubleshooting the network connection issue specifically for your One Talk phone on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7.

Here’s a step-by-step approach you can try:

1. Check Mac Network Connection
Ensure your Mac is properly connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Open a browser and verify you can load websites normally.

2. Disable Wi-Fi and Try Ethernet (or vice versa)
Sometimes Wi-Fi networks have restrictions or instability. If you’re on Wi-Fi, try connecting with an Ethernet cable or vice versa to rule out wireless issues.

3. Restart the One Talk App
Quit the One Talk app completely on your Mac and then reopen it. Sometimes the app needs a fresh start to detect the internet connection.

4. Check App Permissions on Mac
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab, then ensure One Talk has permission for Microphone and Network access.

5. Turn off VPN or Proxy
If you use a VPN or proxy on your Mac, temporarily disable it as it can interfere with the app’s ability to connect to Verizon’s servers.

6. Verify Firewall Settings
Check your Mac’s firewall settings (System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall) and make sure One Talk or its ports are not blocked.

7. Try Logging Out and Back In
In the One Talk app, log out from your account, then log back in to refresh network authentication.

8. Use the Verizon One Talk Support Resources
Verizon’s official support site for One Talk has a “First Steps” guide which includes detailed info for connectivity issues that might be helpful: https://www.verizon.com/support/one-talk-first-steps/ 1

9. Check Router Settings
Since Fios equipment was replaced, confirm that your new router is not blocking ports used by One Talk (such as SIP or VoIP related ports). You might also try restarting the router after making changes.

If after these steps your One Talk app still refuses to connect to the internet, please let me know what step you reached and any error messages you saw. That info will help me guide you further.

Are you currently using the One Talk mobile app on your Mac, or is this about the physical One Talk phone device? Knowing this will help me tailor the instructions better.

my computer works just fine

Got it, your Mac’s internet connection is working fine, but the One Talk phone itself can't connect to the internet. Thanks for confirming that.

Since the Mac connectivity is solid, and the One Talk phone (I’m assuming the physical device here) can’t get online, the issue likely revolves around the phone’s connection to your network or its provisioning.

Here’s what I suggest next:

1. Check the Phone’s Network Connection
- If your One Talk phone uses Ethernet: Confirm the Ethernet cable is firmly connected to both the phone and the Fios router or switch. Try swapping the cable with one you know works if possible.
- If it uses Wi-Fi: Ensure the phone is configured with the correct Wi-Fi network and password matching your new Fios router settings.

2. Phone Power and Status Indicators
- Look at the phone’s lights or screen status. Are there any error messages or blinking LEDs indicating network issues? Often, a solid or blinking green light means network connection, while red or no light may mean no connection.

3. Factory Reset the One Talk Phone
- Since you’ve got a replacement phone, it might still have old configurations. Resetting it to factory defaults can clear misconfigurations and allow it to register fresh on your network.
- Usually, the reset method involves holding down a specific button or combination—check your specific model’s manual or Verizon One Talk’s device support pages for instructions: https://www.verizon.com/support/compatible-one-talk-devices/ 2

4. Provisioning and Registration Check
- The phone might fail to register with Verizon’s One Talk servers after your Fios replacement. If you have access, log in to the One Talk Admin portal online to see if the new phone’s MAC address or serial number is registered properly.
- If not registered, you or the Verizon support team may need to manually add or activate the device in the portal.

5. Router Settings Inspection
- Since the Fios gear is new, verify the router doesn’t have active firewalls, MAC filtering, or parental controls blocking the One Talk phone.
- Also, check for QoS settings or VoIP passthrough options—it’s important that SIP and other VoIP protocols are allowed freely.

6. Contact Verizon Escalation or Support
- If after these steps the phone still refuses to connect, it’s best to escalate again with Verizon for deeper backend provisioning checks.

If you want, I can help you step through any of the above in more detail. Also, did you try using the One Talk Mac app on your computer as a temporary workaround while we troubleshoot the phone device connection?

Let me know how you’d like to proceed! Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

I have reset everything multiple times

Thanks for letting me know that you’ve already reset everything multiple times. That’s definitely a good step usually. Since the One Talk phone still can’t connect to the internet after those resets, let’s consider the following focused troubleshooting for after a reset, especially given your Fios equipment change:

1. Confirm Device Provisioning in One Talk Admin Portal
- Sometimes after a reset, the phone must be re-provisioned with Verizon’s servers to register on your account.
- Log in to the Verizon One Talk Admin portal online (https://www.verizon.com/support/one-talk-web-portal-admin-guide/) and check that your replacement phone’s serial number or MAC address is listed and active.
- If it’s missing or shows an error, the device may need to be manually added or reactivated.

2. Check for Provisioning or Network Errors on the Phone
- After the reset, watch the phone display or status lights closely. Look for messages like "Provisioning Error" or "No Service."
- If you see provisioning errors, it means the phone is trying but failing to register with Verizon’s servers. This could be caused by account-side issues or network restrictions.

3. Router and Network Configuration Review
- Double-check that your new Fios router is not blocking VoIP traffic required by One Talk.
- Disable any firewall, MAC filtering, or parental controls temporarily to see if connection improves.
- Make sure that port forwarding or SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is disabled, as SIP ALG often interferes with VoIP connections.

4. Try the One Talk App on Mac as a Temporary Measure
- While the physical phone’s connection is being troubleshot, download and log into the One Talk Desktop app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7 as a workaround.
- The official Verizon One Talk webpage has resources to download and set this up: https://www.verizon.com/support/one-talk-first-steps/ 1

5. Contact Verizon Business Support for Account Provisioning Fix
- If everything on your side looks correct but the phone still won’t connect, this is likely an issue with account provisioning or backend activation.
- It’s best then to contact Verizon’s Business Accounts Support directly at 800-922-0204 for deeper backend troubleshooting (they can push provisioning from their end).

Based on your persistence with resets, this deeper account/device registration step is the most probable hold-up.

Here are some steps you can take to address potential account issues:

1. Access the One Talk Administrator Portal
- Log into the One Talk Admin portal at Verizon’s website: One Talk Admin Guide
- Check that your phone device is properly registered—look for your replacement phone’s serial number or MAC address.
- Confirm if there are any alerts, suspensions, or provisioning issues shown on your account.

2. Manage Lines and Devices
- Within the Admin portal, review your lines and devices to make sure the replacement phone is correctly assigned and active on your account.

3. Check for Service or Account Holds
- Sometimes billing holds, service suspensions, or account misconfigurations can affect device registration.
- Verify your account status is current and without restrictions.

4. Contact Verizon Business Support
- Because account issues can involve backend provisioning that only Verizon can fix, it’s best to reach out directly to Business Accounts Support: 800-922-0204.
- Explain your situation, mentioning the phone replacement and Fios equipment changes, and that your account may need re-provisioning or unlocking.

5. Use One Talk Support Resources
- Verizon’s general One Talk support page has useful articles and troubleshooting guides which might assist: One Talk Support Overview
- Also, their “First Steps” guide explains account and device setup basics: One Talk First Steps

6. Temporary Workaround: One Talk App on Mac
- While your phone issue is pending, you could install and use the One Talk app on your Mac as a temporary alternative to make and receive calls: One Talk First Steps

Since the issue centers on the account, these steps will help you either fix it yourself via the Admin portal or get the right help from Verizon’s support team who can reset or re-provision your account properly.
