Brand new BT Decor 2100 "the number you called has...

My line had a buzzing, so I called BT and they sent me an engineer. I cost me £198 for him to tell me that it was the fault of my old BT Vanguard phone...
So, I bought a BT Decor 2100.  Now I can't make any calls at all, I just get "The number you called hasn't been recognised".
Is there a test I can run to verify that my key tones are being generated correctly? 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I decided to try one last test before sending my new phone back to Amazon, so I dialled my cellphone again, but this time very carefully.  Then I spotted the problem... the phone's keys #5 and #8 are transposed.  When I ignored this error, my calls worked.
The keys cannot be removed without opening the case of the phone, and that would invalidate any warranty. So, I'll get a replacement.
If only one of our phone numbers contained neither #5 nor #7 then we'd have spotted the problem sooner.  We both felt there was something "odd" when we were dialling, but didn't twig the transposition.
Bizarrely, I almost added a humorous touch to my initial post, telling about the trick of transposing the buttons on the IBM 3720 tape drives, or the IBM 1403 printer.  One of our operators got sacked for playing this trick on his colleagues as an April Fool's prank.  I should have checked this possibility, but in my own defence, it's not April 1st...

  • The number I call is busy

    The voice prompt tells me the number is busy
    If the voice prompt tells you that the number you called is busy and you should try again later then in fact your contact’s number you entered in your Skype To Go account may be invalid.
    A common mistake is entering the country code twice. For example, if trying to call to Australia (+61), do not enter the country code “61” at the beginning of your contact’s number because the number is automatically amended with “+61” afterwards. To check your contact’s number you entered please go to your Skype To Go account overview and click on “edit” next to your contact’s number.
    If the problem still persists, try calling the number from Skype on your computer. If you get an error message then the number may in fact be invalid. Should the number ring normally, but not via Skype To Go, then please submit a ticket with customer service including your Skype To Go number, your contact’s number, and the time & date you tried calling.
    I always get a busy tone
    If you don’t get a voice prompt message but there is always a busy tone then please submit a ticket with customer service, including your Skype To Go number, your contact’s number, and the time & date you tried calling.

    I am trying to activated a brand new iPhone 4s but the serial number isn't working. Suggestions?

    Are you getting any error message or other data that helps to understand why the SR # is not working?  Sometimes when entering a serial number a letter or number is entered incorrectly because a 1 looks like an l or an s looks like a 5.  Make certain that this type of an entry error is not your problem.

    No we cannot send it to you because we are users just like you and Apple does not monitor these forums.
    But you can find the IMEI numbers yourself. Read the ENTIRE article:

  • Brand New iphone5 out of the box... speaker phone not working

    Hi Guys, frustrated & disappointed very much.. brand new iphone5 out of the box, speaker seems to be not working, i checked the volume, silent mode is off.. still no sound from the speaker.. no ringtones, no music via speaker.. however, with headset, sound seems fine..
    please help me out here...

    Auto-focus requires adequate lighting and a subject with adequate contrast.  It may not focus in a very dark room, for example... or a night scene.  It also needs contrast -- for exmaple if you point the camera up into a blue, cloudless sky it wont be able to focus on that either because there's nothing of contrast (the sky looks the same overall "blue" whether in focus or out of focus so moving the focus makes no difference and this confuses the camera.) If, however, you have good lighting (e.g. suppose you're outside on a bright sunny day) then the camera should focus on any normal subject then it should have no difficulty focusing (as long as it isn't a completely plain, featureless subject that offers no contrast.) The camera actually has TWO different focus systems.  If you look through the veiwfinder then the camera uses it's "phase detect" auto-focus system (this is the fastest focus system.)  If you put the camera into "live view" mode so that you use the rear LCD to compose your subject then the camera uses it's "contrast detect" auto-focus system. If neither system works with the lens in auto-focus mode then the most likely cause is a problem with the lens (either the camera is unable to communicate with the lens or the auto-focus motor isn't working, etc.)  It's far more often that this is a lens problem and not a camera problem. If you happen to have another lens, try switching lenses to see if that makes a difference. Are the camera and lens both new?

    Is the store that you bought it from close so that you could try going back to them and ask them to activate the card properly ? If not then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Report on 'the number of calls' on an IVR Option menu

    Dear NetPro gurus,
    My customer has an IVR on UCCX which works fine.  However, they have recently add in an 'Option 6' where when PSTN caller press on it, it will redirect the call out to an 1800 number onto the PSTN.
    The call connects perfectly fine.  What my customer wants is to have a report on how many PSTN caller press on this newly created Option 6 of the IVR. 
    For all the other 5 IVR options, they all have an individual CSQ assigned to them and there is a 'Set Enterprise Call Info' step to send the 'options selected' to UCCX.
    However, for this Option 6, since there is no CSQ (because the call gets redirect to a PSTN number), is there any way i can script it so that it can be tally and identified by Cisco Historical Reports too?
    I have spent a lot of time on this already so would appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this.
    Cheers,
    Hunt                  

    Hi Hunt
    There are quite a few posts on the subject on the forums.
    Basically you can do one of these things:
    1) Run an 'application summary' report - typically the count of 'flow out' calls will be the  number of calls sent to your 1800 number, if this is the only non-CSQ destination that your script sends calls to (e.g. if there are no other external numbers, voicemail, or internal DNs that you send the calls to other than via a CSQ).
    2) Run a 'custom call variables' report and then count up the number of rows that have the info that you set on 'set enterprise call info' when the call was routed externally
    3) If those aren't good enough, then you can produce a custom report to show the data in the format the customer wants. This would require some good SQL and Crystal skills...

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.
