Answer 1

Usually it means the phone is turned off because it's either cancelled or someone hasn't paid their bill.

The first thing that would come into my mind would be, "the phones not having the sufficient network coverage" (Its in a unreachable position). Therefore, the message may return as stated above on the topic. But there are so many other reasons for this, it could be that the mobile phone subscriber has switched off his phone, or turned it on to flight mode (simply barred his radio facility intentionally). Now I'll have to agree with the above statements, you've given, but it necessarily need not be that he/she has not paid the bill, it could be even that his account has not been refreshed (if prepaid). Post paid connections tend to give the message saying "the number you dialed is temporarily disconnected". If not the final ideology behind this number is that the Caller is not welcomed by the Recipient. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Number Not Available

Answer 4

usually this means that the number is invalid. however, with cell phones, sometimes you can get this if the wireless carrier is having trouble in the area where either you are (try calling another number, like your voice mail or something, to see if you can place a call at all to verify) or where the person you are trying to call is. the wireless operator could be having trouble due to technical issues, or just a very busy time of day (over max capacity for calls) for the cell tower near either you or the person you're calling.

Answer 5

In my experience this happens when the number you are calling is a pay by the minute number (like with alltell or cingular) and the person is out of minutes.

It can also happen when the network is down.

Answer 6

I don't know about anyone else, but I use Rogers and when you hear it on my phone it means I haven't paid my bill and they've suspended my air time.

Answer 7

It means not number has been disconnected or that person has not paid there bill.
