Another phone call price increase :(
Telecoms giant BT is to raise call charges for residential customers by up to 5% on 3 December - the second increase this year.
UK landline calls will go up from 7.6p a minute to 7.95p a minute. Line rental prices will also rise, but calls to mobiles will be unchanged.
The changes come after a 10% rise in call charges a year ago, and a 9% increase in April.
But BT said these prices would now be frozen until 2013.
Under the changes, the cost of line rental for a customer paying by direct debit will rise by 70p to £14.60 a month.
Evening UK calls will go up from 1p a minute to 1.05p a minute. The call set up fee, which is a one-off charge for a call outside of a customer's plan, goes up from 12.5p to 13.1p.
BT's most popular Anytime calls plan will increase by 20p to £4.90 a month, but various other packages and bundles, some of which include broadband internet, will not be changed.

Crikey BT, times are hard ya know!!

Also, Line Rental is being increased from £13.90 to £14.60
I hope that the 70p a month price increase will be put to good use by BT- and NOT to pay top bosses bonuses

Skype Call Put on Hold when another Phone Call com...
Why does my active Skype call automatically get put on hold when a standard phone call comes through on my iphone 6? I would prefer to manually switch between calls and I hold many conference calls through SKYPE.
I am using the current version of Skype and iOS 8.Hi,
Please check if you enable conferencing in topology builder, you can check on the Standard edition topology below “Feature and functionality”.
Please also try to re-run the Lync Server Components install from the Deployment Wizard and check services again.
If the issue persists, you can use the Lync server logging tool on FE server to test the process of conferencing.
Here is the link of using the Lync logging tool:

Modem doesn't disconnect during incoming phone call
IMac 10.2.8 800 MHz Power PC G4
modem doesn't disconnect during incoming phone calls.
In System Preferences-Network, I have checked the boxes, "Notify me of incoming calls when connected to the internet ," Play alert sound when receiving a call," and "Remind me 1 second before disconnecting me."
thanks for any help
jeffJeffrey, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that there are 2 issues here. One is how the iMac handles incoming calls. The other is that your telephone service has to send a signal when there is an incoming call.
In traditional phone service, if you are using the phone and someone tries to call you, their call is blocked at the switch (at the telephone company) and they hear a busy signal.
To do what you want, you must ensure that your phone company has the proper configuration to send your iMac the signal that there is another phone call. -
Verizon iP4S signal loss after phone call
So, I'm new to Verizon, long time ATT customer. So, I have a 4S, wife has a iP4. After i get done with many, but not all, phone calls, my phone completely loses signal and the carrier banner says "Searching." using 5.0.1. Wife's using iOS 5. I have done the *228 PRL update. Same thing, after many phone calls, loss of signal, have to wait to reacquire before making another phone call. Any hints or tips?
settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
also do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If the above doesn't work, then suggest you contact your cell phone provider and let them know about your cellular data issue. -
What happens when I'm on FaceTime on my iphone 4s and a phone call comes through?
I've been on FaceTime a few different times when another phone call (not FaceTime call) comes through. I've never tried to answer it. Does the caller hear anything different on their end? Will my voicemail still answer the regualr phone call? Does it notify the caller I'm on FaceTime? Will texts and/or iMessages come through while on FaceTime?
When you receive a phone call during a FaceTime you are prompted to End FaceTime and answer the call or Ignor the call.
If you Ignore the call the caller will be directed to voicemail. They will not know you are on FaceTime, and no messages will be sent unless you explicitly send one yourself.
If you choose to Answer the call FaceTime will end and the call will connect. The person on FaceTime will not know that your on a call now, again unless you explicity tell them. They may call back and you have the option to Ignore them. If you ignore them they get the "Mr. Smith i snot available for FaceTime" message.

1250% price increase on Hub phone calls to New Zea...
In October 2010, a 44-minute call to NZ using the Hub phone cost £0.78 (ca. 1.8p/min)
In July 2013, a 16-minute call cost £0.40 (ca. 2.4p/min)
In Dec 2013, a 31-minute call cost £9.56 (ca. 30p/min)
I don't recall BT telling me that using the Hub phone would suddenly increase by about 1250%. I've not changed any package or recontracted, and just pick up the hub phone from our HH 1.5, and use it as I always have for the past decade or so.
I am puzzled as to how I missed this massive price rise. Can anyone explain please?Keith_Beddoe wrote:
If the BBT fails, yes, calls automatically fall back to the landline number. You can only tell by listening to the different dial-tone.
Fallback is implemented to ensure you nearly always have a working line. Its not 100% foolproof, if there is a routing issue on the BBT line, but then you usually get no dial tone.
Thanks Keith. If you use the phone memory to make calls, as I do, then you don't hear the dial tone! And even if you do hear it, and don't use the phone often, you are not going to be alert to a different dial tone.
Certainly not 100% fool-proof. I've just been rooting around on the BT site and found nothing in big red letters to warn that if your BTTalk line becomes deactivated you will incur charges that are 17 times higher -
When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
ChrisI could be corrupted backup.
You can check the notification settings for message.
Settings>Notification Center>Messages>Alert Style
It should be on Banners or Alerts.
Settings>Messages> Turn on Imessage and send as SMS and below that "Blocked" to check if you have any numbers block might be blocking the message.
You can also do a hard reset by holding power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
Still doesn't work? Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings -

Hi, Was wondering if
Firefox OS have a feature that alerts or notify's you if an incoming call has been redirected or diverted to
your phone (from another phone)?
This feature was common in basic phones and feature phones but is absent on Android, Apple
and Windows phones.
It's useful if your operating a business and want to distinguish if an incoming call is a personal
or a business call.
Cheers
GregHi GregCh,
I understand that you would like a way to distinguish between incoming calls that were dialed directly to your phone number, and incoming calls that were forwarded to your phone number (from another phone).
Unfortunately, there is no such feature in Firefox OS that I am aware of. Forwarding services such as Google Voice may have settings available that would allow you to distinguish the forwarded incoming calls, but I am not entirely sure.
Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
Thanks,

Is it a way to increase from iphone 5 the phone caller list and individual info details of the contacts? I can increase font for Contacts but not for the caller list nor individual info details of contacts.
No JG9, no remedy yet. Still hoping.
I'm wondering if we should ask help from RIM instead of other users, as this is obviously glitch of the device, not tips ans tricks we want to learn. -
We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine. Any suggestions??
hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.
