Has anyone resolved this issue? My cox neighbors cannot call me from their cox phones. They get the message my phone is disconnected. Cox is not helpful, I'd like to avoid having my neighbors call cox to fix this.

The only way to fix it is to have your neighbor call and report that they can't reach a known working number.
Cox marked your number as no longer in service in their forwarding tables instead of deleting it completely.

O.K., I'll try it. Why would COX customers from further away be able to reach me though? The problem is only with people in my neighborhood.

The problem is in the Cox central office that serves your neighborhood.
