Verizon Call Assistant works well for me except that about seven times out of eight, when I sign in, I get a message
We are unable to retrieve call log at this time . . . Please try again later.
Once this message is displayed nothing works except to right-click the VCA icon in the system tray, and select Sign Out. About 45 seconds later the sign-in dialog is displayed. Chances are it still doesn't work but eventually it does.
I don't see any mention of this in the forum or elsewhere.

Here is a post from another user...Let me know if this helps
Go and open My Computer,then go and open, the "C" folder then go and open, Program Files folder then go and open Verizon then go and open Call Assistant folder,then go to DCClient_Retail right click on it to edit(in notepad) ,then go edit line HostIPAddress" value="www36.verizon.com" to HostIPAddress" value="www36p.verizon.com", then save the file and restart the computer. This should fix the problem and you can use Call Assistant

You can also try the web version if you log into "My account", look under "My home phone" and click on "View call log details" That should open the web version of Call Assistant

I am also having the same problem. I found the posting regarding changing the call assistant file name, but when I look in the file, it is already formatted correctly (nothing for me to edit). My VCA shows no calls since the end of August. Should I uninstall it and then try to install again?

Have you tried to uninstall/Reinstall yet? If not try that and let me know if that works

I get this EVERY morning when I log into VCA. It usually does log in sometime later, if i remember to retry.
Earlier, when I was unable to connect at all, I did change the address as indicated in post 2.
My biggest issue with VCA right now is that it is telling me I am not subscribed to Verizon Voicemail (I am though).
