Alright who else is sick of the caller id spoofing?

Getting about 3 calls a day from 062 area code. I finally picked it up and told the {word filter} to stop calling me. He then called 10 times in a row. I have call block, which only allows 6 #s and call intercept which is useless they just pick a new #. So I called Verizon and there is nothing they can do. Anyone else know what to do? I reported them to the FTC but the calls haven't stopped. Cant report to do not call because of the 062 non existent area code

I am getting calls that the ID says are from my name and number, but no msg is ever left and it is not possible for me to call myself like that.  I posted a few days ago about this but never got a reply.

  • Who else is frustrated with App World 3.0??? Dear RIM, bring back v2.0 - it worked better.

    Who else is frustrated with the new App World 3.0???
    Just updated from 2.0.
    What happened to the thousands and thousands of apps?
    The search function is garbage...it doesn't work! My screen distorts every time!
    Why can I only see 25 applications at a time...then wait for a whole minute while the Green Circle just keeps circling...then see 25 more applications...then wait for a whole minute...?
    App World has FROZEN several times on me and I've had to do a battery pull.
    This is NOT A GOOD UPGRADE!!!

    I'm so upset with this useless upgrade! Everything was perfect with the previous version of app world. I have a bold 9700 running O.S 5.0 and this update literally ruined my phone:
    1- The new app world is not even working properly, when you open an app, it only displays a blue screen. ( No delete, upgrade, screenviews: Nothing)
    2-Search doesn't work
    3- Somehow when I upgraded to app world 3.0 my BBM icon disappeared, and I've been resetting the phone to factory settings, nothing seems to work.
    I think this is ridiculous, you can't release such a terrible upgrade, I have never witnessed anything so bad. I'm really thinking about giving up my blackberry! Worst thing: no one at AT&T seems to be able to help.
    I'm sorry RIM, but this upgrade is a fiasco.

  • Who else thinks the feature to block people's calls is pointless?

    This new feature to block people's calls is pointless. Because all they  got to do is switch off their caller ID or put 141 in front and they can  still call you! Pointlessssss! Is there any way to block "blocked" or "unknown" calls?

    On any handset, landline or mobile, the only way to block calls is to use a function known as blacklisting.  That requires the call to connect so the handset can capture the caller ID and use it to compare to a blacklist of disallowed numbers.
    True call blocking, where the number simple never connects, can only be done by a telephone service provider at their switches.  Anything that a handset does must use the caller ID informtion as other than that informtation, all calls are identitical as far as your handset is concerned.
    The carrier's switching equipment, on the other hand, has access to other information that is blocked to the handset (even a blocked caller ID is still know to the carrier's equipment, for example).
    Most carriers should already block "unkowns" through a service called anonymous call rejection (e.g. I know AT&T USA does this by default on all smart phone service accounts), either as a default service or an optional one.

  • HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

    HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
    ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

    In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
    So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
    To change the column header:
    In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
    'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
    I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
    To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
    But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
    At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
    then save the file.
    If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
    eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
    change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
    If still having an issue, please post two images.
    One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
    The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

  • Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

  • Does anyone else have trouble hearing the person you're talking to half way through the call?

    Hello everyone.  For almost 2 years now I have had this ongoing problem.  I have called Verizon several times, stopped by the store several times and no one has been able to help me yet.  I will be on a call and all of a sudden I can't hear the person talking on the other end but they can still hear everything I am saying.  I have tried many times to figure out if there is something in common about the calls but there never is.  I talk to people that are on land lines, cell phones from various wireless providers, I called them, they called me, day, night, different towns, different states - many, many scenarios.  Same thing all the time.  Sometimes it happens when I'm on the phone for one minute, 30 minutes, one hour - sometimes it never happens.  I used to have the Verizon thunderbolt.  I had it for about 10 months before it started happening.  I put up with it until I was at my 2 year mark and upgraded to an IPhone 5.  One hour after walking out of the store with the new phone it happened and has been happening still for the last year.  I'm not lying when I say I have spent HOURS on the phone with Verizon and their technicians.  The customer service reps always promise to call me back and they say "Don't worry I won't drop the ball.  I'll call you when I get in on Saturday" and blah, blah, blah.  My phone is used for work and it's embarrassing when you have to tell the attorney or anyone else for that matter to call me back because you can hear me but I can't hear you.  I am beyond frustrated and am considering breaking my contract.  Wish I could figure out on here how much that would be.  HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE???  PLEASE HELP..

        I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

    I changed my data plan from 6g to 8g while my daughter who attends college outside of the US at Toronto Canada (and we have on a international calling and international data plan) was on spring break at her grandparents house here in the US. I made the change online since I had been waiting on the phone for over 10 minutes for a customer service rep to come available. Well when I made the change online since that seems to be the thing that Verizon wants it's customers to do and I didn't see all the different plans available and just did the upgrade to 8g. Next bill had over $900 in roaming charges on her phone line. I called the 1-800 number and waiting for a service rep and after 20 minutes of waiting and being put on hold was told it was the customers mistake and there was nothing they could do.Thanks for nothing. I called back after thinking about it and wondered why changing a data plan for the phones in the US would change a international call plan. Waiting over 10 minutes again between waiting for a service rep and hold for one to answer the call. Gave her all the information about it and she said she would call back. Well, 4 days later over the weekend she had nevered called back. So on the phone again for the third time and after 20 plus minutes again was told that when I did it online I click the plan that didn't include international call only the data plan. Explained that I never saw the difference in the plan packages so put on hold again and was told that they could credit $100 to my bill. Wow, thanks alot !!! We have been Verizon customers for probably atleast 12 years and this is how you treat your long term customers?

  • Since I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2, many times I am unable to answer the calls. Then I have to switch off and on to answer the calls. I checked with my three friends who updated and they are also facing same problem. Kindly let me know the solution.

    Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
    1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
    2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
    here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.

  • HT4623 when i get a call or make one I have to use the speaker phone.I hear nothing after the phone rings but when I  hit the soeakerphone icon i can hear the caller but so does everyone else.

    When I receive or make a phone call, I have to hit the speaker phone icon to hear the conversation and so does everyone else around me.
    My phone was perfect until I updated to the newest version.
    The person making the call can hear me, but I cant' hear them until I push the speakerphone.
    Any resolve to this please and thankyou.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
