All incoming calls divert to "Sorry, you can't lea...

Help please!
I recently cancelled 1571. Since then all incoming calls divert immediately to a message saying: "Sorry, you can't leave a message at the moment" and then disconnect.
Everything else works fine (outgoing calls, broadband), and since the voice message sounds exactly like 1571 it seems pretty obvious that something went badly wrong with the 1571 cancellation.
I have had some lovely conversations with 151 and with the online chat people who have seem to have no idea how to fix the problem.
I see from the forum that this type of problem has been encountered before over several years and the only way to get it fixed appears to be to post on here and wait for the BT people who monitor them to spot it and come to my rescue.
So HELP! <waves flag> Here I am, please come and rescue my phone line from the 1571 gremlin.

I just cannot believe I'M READING THESE POSTS AND THAT OUR EXPERIENCES HAVEN'T FED THEMSELVES BACK TO THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER AT BT. (Sorry hit caps lock!) I have had exactly the same experience as you all and I have been on the phone for hours trying to get the message through to the people on the end of 151 that the problem is obviousky with the 1571 system. I got to the point three days ago when there was a glimmer of hope that my word was being accepted about the problem. I was upgraded to speak tp a 'supervisor' or similar, who said that 1571 would be reconnected to see if people could then the get through again - beyond the scary message. Of course the moment it was reconnected the phone line was fine. He promised me that he would ring back yesterday to check the situation but I heard nothing. SO I got back onto 151 and had all the same discussions again. I asked why I had been promsied a return call - no explanation. Everything was clealry on notes on his computer but I had to go through the same questioning about answer machines at home etc etc. I suggested that the 1571 system was so complex that few people at BT have any clue that it is capable of giving the recorded message that we have all reported. He said he knew all the 1571 FACILITIES AND THAT NO SUCH MESSAGE CAN BE SWITCHED ON. (Hit it again sorry) I can't tell you how relieved I am to read your posts acknowledging the same experience. I am now waiting for 1571 to be switched off again to see what happens, and he has promised to ring me back on Monday afternoon at 2.00pm (5th January 2014). I also got a letter from BT welcoming me to the 1571 service and explaining that it will now cost me £1.75 per month - I've had it for years and the reason I want it turned off is to save the new charges. I fell totally exhausted with th whole affair. Happy New Year, and best regards.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

  • Help please...iphone5 when trying to make a call, after hitting green button to make call, screen goes straight back to keypad and all incoming calls go straight to voicemail, any ideas please? Everything else seems ok. No problem with sim or carrier

    Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5.  I'm not technically minded  and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle.  I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off.  Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out,  I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired.  I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support,  have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins'  and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion,  so I've given that up as a bad job!!  Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please?  Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.

    My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
    This is entirely a carrier issue.  If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
    i feel i need to change my brand

  • Broadband Talk - "Sorry, you can't leave a message...

     Hi!
    I have my BT Broadband Talk account set up to send unanswered calls to voicemail. Under 'Calling Features > Messaging':
    Divert calls to Voicemail when unanswered
    However, whenever I call the number and let it ring out, I get this message:
    "Sorry, you can't leave a message at the moment"
    Then it hangs up!
    Is there something else I need to do to enable VM on my Broadband Talk number?
    If it means anything, I have BT 1571 set up on the 'normal' home number.
    Thank you!

  • My galaxy s5 is rejecting all incoming calls

    when people call me it says the user has blocked all incoming calls, or something like that. i have turned blocking mode off and i turned off call rejection for the call settings. i dont know what else to try

        Hello scrpnsub, let's get to the bottom of this together! Can you dial *73 on the device and you will hear a few beeps. Hang up the call after the beeps and then test receiving a call. Are you able to make outbound calls? Keep us posted!

  • Nomorobo blocking all incoming calls

    I set up Nomorobo last night.  Got the confirmation phone call.  After that, all incoming calls were blocked after the first ring.  I emalied Nomorobo and am waiting for their response. Anyone else have this experience?

    I just installed Nomorobo yesterday as per the instructions given.  Everything appeared to be set up correctly and the test screen showed protected.  A couple of hours later I got a call with a short first ring then a second ring..then nothing.  So I assumed it was a robocall that was intercepted.  A few hours later another call came in..it, too, was intercepted.  It seemed odd that two calls coming in..both are robocalls..so I logged into Xfinity and saw that both calls went right to voice mail rather than ringing through so I could answer them at home.  Tried calling my home number with my cell and same thing...right to voice mail.  Sent a message to Nomorobo but no response as yet.  It seems the fault must be in the Call Forwarding preferences of Xfinity...but for now I've disconnected Nomorobo and calls from my cell go correctly to my home phone.  If anyone comes up with a solution please post it.It took a month for me to hear back from nomorobo support and then I got this when I told them all my calls were going to robo. I did have it set up correctly so still not sure why mine won't work and I undid everything so I am back to 'normal' for now.   It might be of some use to you.... "I'm sincerely sorry for the extreme delay here. From the information you've given me it sounds like the toll-free number (202-813-1600) we provided you is in your Call Forwarding list, not the Advanced Call Forwarding list, which means all your calls are being forwarded to Nomorobo. You should remove the number from that location and all incoming calls will no longer be blocked.If you don't see the Advanced Call Forwarding option, it's because Voice2Go isn't activated. Here is a link that should help you activate Voice2Go: https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/phone/activate-voice-2go . Here is another link with specific instructions to using Nomorobo on Comcast Xfinity: https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/phone/nomorobo"

    I've been trying to login to the BT Sport app and keep getting told that I haven't activated it yet. I'm shown an activate button and when I press it I'm taken to a site where I have to log in using my My BT credentials. Upon logging in I'm shown the following message:
    "Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and online content because a BT ID created by Stephen is the account holder."
    The message is completely nonsensical as I the account holder and I've logged in with valid credentials. I tried calling the helpline and am still waiting for someone to call me back, even though I called them two hours ago. What awful service.

    Hi W0035521,
    Welcome to the community forum. Do you have more than 1 BT ID? It sounds like you have another ID that has been set up with account holder status. I can take a look at this for you. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.

    It sounds like your system is not properly configured for the connection to the Adobe Document Services.  Have your system admins confirm the setup.  Look for the error.pdf document mentioned in the exception for more details on the actual cause of the error. This error message is generic and could be caused by several different conditions - almost all of which are related to incomplete or incorrect configuration of the ADS/ADS Connectivity.

    If my Nokia 6233 (firmware 5.6, homed to 3g network, silent vibrate-only profile) is connected to PC Suite 6.85.14.1, incoming calls divert. I believe this started happening after I updated my firmware to 5.6. Could someone confirm this problem or do I need to send my phone for repair?

  • All input time series to which you can distribute are fixed

    Hi Experts,
    I ran one macro in the background. Usually it runs without any different message but this time I got following message
    "All input time series to which you can distribute are fixed". Macro has executed successfully & data is also correct but it has taken lots of time to finish. When I checked I got the above message.
    Can anyone help out to find the exact meaning of this message?
    When I digging around the message I got the following explinantion but didn't get the meaning.
    Diagnosis
    All aggregrated time series objects of an aggregate time series are fixed. As such, a change to the characteristic value at aggregate level cannot be disaggregated on any of the aggregated time series objects.
    Procedure
    Remove at least one of the fixings of the aggregated time series objects.
    Please help me to find the solution to avoid the delay in job.
    Regards
    Sujay

    Hi Sujay,
    I think you have some hierarchy in DP .Ex.one product @ diff locations and you have fixed the values of the key fig say Sales Demand at all locations and there you are trying to change some value at product level which due to fixing is not getting distributed/disaggregated on low levels of locations and hence you are getting this message.
    Please refer SAP Note 609074 & 687074  which will be very helpful to you.

  • Can I stop ALL incoming calls?

    I am going to Europe and signed up for international calling, but do not want to pay $1.99 for every incoming call. I was told even if I do not answer a call that it will cost me $1.99. Since I will be using my phone for several applications and email I do not want to turn my phone off just so calls do not come through. I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting as this situation would make my Iphone nearly unusable if I have turn turn it off and on dozens of times daily. Ideas? Cheers ~ Rob

    Am I missing something here? Why not just forward all calls to your voicemail number before leaving the US.
    Unless you prevent your phone from registering on a roaming network, then without such forwarding already in place calls will forward to the roaming network before either ringing your iPhone or going to voicemail. Either way this will incur a charge. In the case of calls that hit the roaming network and then go to voicemail you incur a double charge: the cost of forwarding the call to the roaming network plus the cost of returning the call to your home network for voicemail.
    I would recommend contacting your service provider who should be able to advise on how to divert all calls to voicemail before you travel.

  • My phone is not ringing on all incoming calls (the switch on the side is on at the time of the incoming call), what can I do to have all calls ring?

    My iPhone 5 is not ringing on all of the incoming calls even though the side switch is on.  Not sure what to do?  Anyone else having this problem with incoming calls?

    I had a friend with the same problem, he had Do Not Disturb ON, you can see if yours is ON, if it is, turn it OFF.

  • All Incoming calls are 'Unknown'

    About 6 days ago all my incoming calls are coming in as 'Unknown'. Also my phone calls to my friends/relatives were showing up as 'blocked' or 'private'.
    I was on the phone with at&t and they said all my settings were fine. They put me through to apple support and we did a reset of settings on my phone and that resolved my outgoing calls as showing up as 'Blocked/Private' but STILL all my incoming calls are showing up as 'Unknown'. VERY frustrating. What is weird though all my incoming text messages know the name of the contact...why would this not work for phonecalls. ANY suggestions at all on how to resolve? I really don't want to have to try and reset all my default settings again on my phone, but if another attempt at that is suggested I guess I'll try. Please advise.

    I have a similar problem although it's only with some numbers showing up as "Unknown". I went to the local Apple store and a busy Genius said it ws an AT&T problem. So I spent an hour on the phone with an real good AT&T tech. 866-700-2105 gets you right to iPhone tech support. He said it was a iPhone issue. So I made an appointment with a Genius. We put my SIM card in a new phone - same problem. I had a person call, whose number shows up as Unknown on my phone call the Genius'iPhone. Caller ID shows the number. So we think it's my SIM card. Off to the AT&T store for a new SIM card. With a new card - same old problem. The ball is back in AT&T's court. I bet you thought there would be a solution here. Sorry.

  • About 1/4 of all incoming calls are not connecting

    Using 3G or Edge (with full signal), I am experiencing a problem with one of every few incoming calls. The phone rings but when I answer it, I only hear my own echo, if anything at all. When the person calls back (or I beat them to the punch), they say that my phone didn't even ring so they hung just up and redialed or, in some cases, answered my call if I called them back.
    I've got version 2.1 and everything else seems to be working fine. Any ideas?

    Hi Jay,
    Are you using any accessories with the iPhone? Do you see the issue when not using bluetooth headset, car kit, stereo headset, protective case?
    Does the iPhone have the same issue in all locations?
    If you haven't already try to reset the iPhone. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    You can also restore the iPhone and set it up as a new phone. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
