Another Caller Display Problem

My caller display stopped working today at 14.00hrs and dispite reporting it several times and getting a text saying its now fixed, its not working.
I have no filters and a filtered face plate, on infinity broadband and tried 2 new bt phones and they both display the same as the old ones NO Caller ID is Displayed.
I took  my old phones to a mmate and they both show caller display, so sispect its another one of those weak signal faults ?
Can a mod here take a look at it for me ringing India is winding me up

No filters as I put in my first post a filtered face plate.
The phone is plugged into it direct, but it started working again on its own dispite a call from India saying problem is with my equiptment! which its not.
BT are a shambles and its ok when everything works and I'm lucky mine never turned into a 6/8 multi call to 151 like others here.
What caused it to stop working ? thery dont know, how it got fixed they dont know, other than to say after it started working again the faults in my property.

  • Caller display problem

    been having problems with my caller display it has been reported several times in last 3 weeks
    engineers came out and said it was my telephone at fault
    now tried 3 different brand new phones in the master socket and all just display "incoming call"
    tried a neighbours phone and it did work
    of the 3  new phones 2 were bt and one panasonic
    dialing  *234# says callers number will be displayed although this only started doing this yesterday usually it says service not available
    do you have any suggestions

    sorry, but you just have to be persistant and determined
    I've has smiliar issues setting up call blockers ( which need caller ID )
    Have gone through a number of these and different phones .
    After isolating the issues, finally system has stabilised ..
    One thing to make sure of is that BT have actually enabled it
    you have to called customer services ( don't make a new order )
    my BT Bill online still keeps saying:
    "extra calling features available" - incude BT Caller diaplay ( free for a year etc )
    its so frustrating, because I have this setup , yet the Bill looks like I need to order it 

  • 150 and Caller Display Problem

    Probably the easiest one to start with. When I dial "150" all I get is a recored message saying - "Sorry you cannot call that nunber from this line. Please ontact your service provider using the number given in their documentation"
    What's that all about?
    Secondly I added/ordered the "Bt Privacy" service last week but as of now the caller display aspect still isn't working. Do I need to wait longer or is it likely that there's been a problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you sure that its still YOUR telephone number, and it has not been crossed with someone else?
    Try calling your number from a mobile, and see if it rings. Or call a mobile and see what number comes up.

    I've seen lots of questions about dual display problem, situation when trying to connect two non-apple vga displays to your graphic card.
    I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card, with 2 display output's. And two DELL 17" vga LCD displays.
    I manage to connect 1 display regulary with dvi to vga converter, but for other display I tried several difrent converters ADC to DVI to VGA, and it just did NOT work.
    G5 could see other display in display settings, in arrange option I coud see two identical displays, but I don't get anu picture (desktop) on other display???
    Is it problem with output's on my graphic card (Gforce FX 5200), could it be soloved with some ADC to VGA converter?

  • Caller Display Problems

    Hello, I recently rejoined BT for home telephone and broadband having been with talk talk and O2. I have had a bit of a mare with the Infinity and phone install but it is done now. I have contacted BT about caller display that was included with my package. They stated it would be active on Monday 27th Feb. It was not. Contacted them again and they said it would be active on 28th. It was not and again, I contacted them yesterday and despite assurances caller display is still not active.
    I have done the *#234# test which says caller ID will be displayed. I have some rather expensive Gigaset SL78H digital handsets. Caller display worked with O2 and Talk Talk but it will not work with BT. Is this handset compatible with the caller display servie provided by BT? It worked with my previous phone line providers.
    The phone is plugged into the master socket via a network. I have removed the ADSL filters as I was advised to do but to no avail. I am at my wits end now.
    Thank You for any help.

         I have just joined this forum out of sheer frustration at our Caller Display still not working after almost three weeks, numerous phone calls, online chats etc., from advisors insisting it would be up and running again in 12/24 hours or whatever.  Yesterday, someone even said I should go and buy a new phone! to try out the equipment again before they send out an engineer.  Bought a new phone, keyed in some numbers, got them to phone the land line and it still came up Unavailable. I even took a phone call from BT on the new phone so it proves that the new one works.  All the phone calls I have had with BT advisors have been from people overseas I think, and I don't think they can grasp the fact that the Caller Privacy ID is still on i.e. our landline number does not come up on other people's phones and all our directory entries are listed in our phone and we can use them to dial out.  Dialling out and receiving phone calls is still ok. They are now saying an engineer will have to come out but I know for a fact it is nothing to do with our phone itself.  I don't want a bill of £130.00 if he finds nothing wrong with it.  I am  at the end of my tether.
    All this would have been avoided I think if we still had BT shops in the local high street.
    Any ideas anyone?

  • BT Verve 450 Caller display problem :(

    Hello, Before i moved to my new house i had the caller display all set and it worked fine, but after i moved house it dissapeared. i'ved called that *#234# number and it says caller will be displayed but it doesnt though. Does this mean i have to subscribe for it agian, if i do how do i subscibe and what number do i call?

    Hi Khushi,
    Thanks for posting. Did you change number when you moved? If so you would need to re-order the BT Privacy service as Keith_Beddoe has mentioned.

  • Nokia C3 Call Display Problems!

    I can't seem to figure out why when my contacts call me their name as I have them saved on my phone isn't displayed, it seem some contacts names will display when they call but some won't... it will only come up with the name on the callers mobile account...
    Its so annoying..        does anyone know why this is??

    Hi
    t_rish ,
    Here are some more solutions:
    The calling phone number may not match with a contact name and the name is not shown in the following situations when an incoming call or SMS arrives:
    The contact is defined twice in the Contacts application (e.g. if both Phone memory and SIM memory contacts have been selected to be displayed in Contacts settings and the same contact is found in both of them).
    The same phone number is defined for two or more contacts.
    The phone number in Contacts application is in different format than the number received in the incoming call. The phone number may have been stored in local format while the incoming call number is in international format (including country prefix), or vice versa. The number may not be properly matched with a contact name in this situation, depending on the device variant and the length of the calling number. In order to verify the correct format of the contact phone number (local or international), check the number which is shown when the call is received and edit the contact details accordingly.
    If the problem persists, make sure your Nokia device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website.
    I hope this clears it.

  • Another LCD display problem

    I've seen a lot of talk about the LCD flooding. (mine isn't cracked on the outside, but the display screen is all jumbled and it looks like the ink flooding people have mentioned; i can only see half of the menu screen)
    anyway, I'm wondering if apple will honor its warranty with this. I tried to set up service, but it's $30 for shipping and handling, and that's without any definite that they will replace my nano.
    Other than that, if I go to an apple store will they be able to give me that answer, without waisting shipping and handling charges?

    Yes, you can take the iPod into an Apple Store and see what they say.
    Depending on what happened to your display, they could fix it or not. If ink is "flooding" inside, then Apple will most likely not repair the iPod, since that is usually caused by abuse. On the other hand, if half of the display is off, it should be replaced, since that is not usually caused by abuse.
    In the end though, Apple decides what is abuse and what isn't.

  • Another Safari display problem - not the same as others

    Hello,
    Has anyone seen this happen and know what is going on? This affects both Safari and Explorer but doesn't affect Camino or other browsers.
    Thanks.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Unfortunately it does not solve the problem. Anyway, this can't be just related to Safari cache as it seems to affect IE too. (Not that I'm using IE). On top of that, if I create a brand new user and go try it, it still looks the same. I doubt a brand new user would have a cache problem since there is no cache for that user yet!!
    Is this exactly the kind of thing you saw with your problem? I wish your solution worked. For now, I've switched to using FireFox instead, but I'm nervous that this Safari behavior is just a pre-amble of something else that is wrong with my system.
    Thanks ... anyone else?

  • Caller display only works on some calls

    I have a paragon 650 on a bt anytime call plan.
    I have only one socket and only the telephone.
    When the phone rings the number will only show on some occasions. If I do a 1471 the callers number is listed.
    Some times the same callers number will list and on other occasions it does not.
    I have put a paragon 500 on the line with the same results(this phone works perfectly OK on another bt anytime call plan line)
    any ideas
    thanks

    If you report it to BT, they will investigate for you. It is most likely a faulty line card in the exchange.
    Provided that you report it as a caller display problem, they will arrange for an engineer who has a caller display unit, to check the line in the exchange.
    It could simply be that the line gain setting is too low, as the caller display does use a burst of signalling tones, just before the first ring is sent. If you are a long distance from the exchange, then this signal may be too weak.
    If this burst is not received properly by your phone, then so number will be displayed.

  • Update on Caller Display - Contract problems

    Hello everyone
    A little while ago I posted my problem regarding Caller Display and the fact that I had to agree and 18 month contract when we went over to Infinity last December and how I wanted to know why when this 'free' service was part of my package. I tried contacting the website a forum member advised and got told to ring another number which I did.
    Then I was told they understood the problem but couldn't help and gave me another number to go direct to the people who could! The girl was very pleasant and understood why I was protesting but after speaking to her supervisor said she was very sorry but could do nothing about it. When I asked why not when my package was for 18 months I was astounded when she said because the phone contract was not the same as the broadband contract!!! I then asked if that meant that if this was the case then could I cancel the contract in December instead of 25th May 2015 and was told that was not possible.
    I was never told that my 'package' had 2 different contracts and I still do not understand why I am being told that from December I have to pay for Caller Display or cancel it. Has anyone else ever heard of it? I wanted a 12 month contract as usual but due to changing to Infinity was told it had to be 18 months and now I feel I have been conned by BT. It isn't so much the money as the devious way it has been done.
    kind regards...........Meggy

    I think it is probably correct to think of having more than one contract with BT because they can have different contract minimum periods and be cancelled independently (well to a certain extent). They also have separate terms and conditions.
    Anyway, I suspect what happened is you re-contracted your Broadband in Dec 2013 on a new Infinity contract with an 18 month minimum period. Strictly speaking you probably didn't need to also re-contract the phone and start a new 12 month phone minimum period, but you did so because they were offering free Caller Display for 12 months if you did that. It made sense because due to the broadband contract you had no intention of cancelling the phone line during that period anyway.
    I would think that you will have a third option of re-contracting the phone again in Dec, again starting a new 12 months minimum period to continue to qualify for free Caller Display?
    See  http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8502/~/all-about-caller-display
    But of course that minimum period would still be 6 months out of sync with your current broadband minimum period. Possibly better to cancel it for 6 months and then get things back in sync from Jun 2015?
    I went to great efforts to sync my recent new Phone (line rental saver), Infinity Broadband, BT TV, and free BT Sport recently. They are all for a minimum of 12 months, line up with the BT Sport 'season' (Aug-Jul) and even line up with my exact day-of-the-month billing date. It was not a simple feat to achieve though and took a bit of planning.

  • Caller Display Charging Problem

    This is now the 3rd month in a row I have been charged for Caller Display, I have contacted the Indian online live chat twice previously but the problem still persists, can someone here get to the bottom of this and refund me the sums I have been overcharged and sort it out so that I don't get charged next month?

    Hi beseeinyou,

  • Problems with iPhone freezing when trying to answer while on another call?

    I am wondering if others are having the problem with your iPhone freezing when you are on a call and another calls comes in. I have had this problem repeatedly. If I try to answer a call while on another call, the other caller can not hear me. when I try and hang up the call...iPhone freezes and disconnects ALL calls.
    I do not have a problem if I initiate BOTH calls for a conference call. I am hoping that Apple is aware of this issue and are working on a fix in the next update. Whenever that will be???
    Oh well, if you are having this problem and know how to fix it...please let me know. Thanks

    I have noticed that during or at the end of a conference call when one party hangs up all parties have always been disconnected. I can tell you that if this is the way it works normally, this is not the way is should work. This is a pain in the butt when it is necessary to call one of the parties back since that party is also trying to call you back. You both get a busy signal.
    I do not have a problem answering a second call during a time when I am on a first call. It will place the first call on hold and I will only be talking to the second party. It should work that way. My iPhone works that way.
    It should also allow you to add the second call to the first call through the 'merge' feature so that both the first and second calls can be joined together. My iPhone works that way.
    My previous Treo worked great on these situations but I do have burps with the iPhone.
    I think that the problem is with the iPhone and AT&T interface in these conditions.
    I would provide your comments to Apple via:

  • I called Apple about the 20" iMac display problem today...

    I have the same display problem that I've been reading about here, it's much much brighter on the bottom of my screen than on the top and viewing the screen from an angle makes the screen look very dusty and dirty.
    First I talked to technical support and because I live 75 miles from an Apple store, he said a technician would come and look at it tomorrow even though I said it was a problem that is very common and just not on my computer. It will be interesting to see what the technician says.
    Then I called customer relations to put in a formal complaint against the 20" iMac screens. I told the man that even on the Apple support forums here that everyone was complaining about it. He said everyone where he worked was using 20" iMacs and as he looked at the screens next to him, he noticed that the colors were all off, looking dirty brown like mine. He said that's just how the new 20" screens were. I tried my best to tell him that it just wasn't right that the screens were so flawed and, although he kind enough and understanding, he didn't see any big problem with them.
    He did submit my formal complaint at the end but I have to tell you all, it sure looks like Apple does not see any problem with these screens. He suggested that I write to Apple at their corporate office to let them know of these problems. Here is that address:
    Apple
    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino, CA 95014
    So that's my next step, writing to the corporate office.
    I'll update this post after the technician comes tomorrow. I really don't expect this to be fixed but I shall let everyone know.
    Martha

    I have been watching this forum for months and have come to a conclusion that Apple
    has taken the "easy road" by using cheaper components as evidenced by these discussions pertaining to cheap lcd computer screens. Also, with the Imac there is limited upgrade paths and the fact now
    the imac has become more of a glorified computer with the internals of a laptop which suggests it is almost mandatory to pay extra for apple care for 3 year warranty because of uncertainty for longevity in my opinion. I am still using an apple 2002 quicksilver G-4 computer almost 6 years old that has not given me and problem. I have also been able to upgrade the hard drive, dvd rom drive myself-you cannot readily do with the current imacs. I was thinking about replacing my G-4 with an Imac, but have now come to the conclusion that Apple is losing focus with providing quality products and unless something drastic happens which I doubt, Apple will lose me as a future customer. I may be forced to go to the other side and buy a PC.
