Call with my own client to the real phone network

Hi, I've a shell script in Linux that I need to make calls and send text messages from. I write the program in any other language as well, but for the moment it's shell script. I've a microphone attached to the Linux computer that works. Do you understand the question ? If so, how is this done ?
EDIT: Need to be able to call with multiple instances. So I need to be able to call 5 different numbers at the same time.
Thanks

Having the same issue. Calls being made FROM my Maryland home landline TO a Virginia number.
I tried calling the number from my office phone, but it goes straight to an unoccupied voicemail.
When I first called about it, the Verizon representative also reassured me there was no charge for these calls, but that is not the issue. The issue is that someone or some machine has access to my home landline and it is making these calls. She was pretty insistent that it must be someone in my home, but much like others have stated, the records show that calls are made when no one is home, or when we are all home watching TV in the living room. We have one phone in the kitchen, so there are no secret calls being made. And certainly not 20+ times a month.
The first representative transferred me to another tech. At first, the new tech dismissed the idea that there could be cross-wiring (what the first tech suggested) because it's over the internet. There are no physical wires to cross.
The tech eventually ran a test and determined there was a "short bound in the wiring," so she said she was going to "reboot the ONC." I don't know what any of that means.
The test came back successful, and she was able to block the number (inbound and outbound).
I told both techs that this problem is not unique to my account; that there are several people on Verizon forums reporting the same issue.
She was not able to explain why, so we are no closer to figuring this out.
All I can recommend is calling Verizon tech support and having the number blocked. We'll see what happens with the next bill.
Also, if it's worth typing out, make sure you're reviewing your bills from Verizon. I've had to call at least five times in the 4.5 months about one thing or another.

  • How to cause them to associate my Case Number 185689167 with the real phone number I need to be called at:

    I purchased a one year subscription to Acrobat Pro, and after installation on my MacBook, in the LaunchPad (aside from the normal Adobe Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Distiller, and Forms Central for Acrobat) a folder containing two icons.  The first was (I forgot the name) and the second entitled AAMLauncherUtil.  Shortly after installation I ran the AAMLauncher Util, and it downloaded and "updated" Acrobat Pro and installed Creative Cloud.  I was told by some person in Tech Support that I didn't need these two additional icons in LaunchPad, and I could just drag them to the trash.
    The folder would not go in the Trash, so I dragged them out of the folder and then the one whose name I don't remember was able to go to the Trash, but not the AAMLauncherUtil icon.
    I called Tech Support again, and got a technician whose name I will withhold, but although he tried to solve the problem, basically he was clueless and I could hear him asking other people in the background what to do and they were giving him suggestions, mucking around my library and deleting anything that sounded like it was associated with AAMLaucher, and in the end all he succeeded in doing was making my Creative Cloud not work anymore and produce messages that it was corrupted and had to be removed and reinstalled.  Finally he gave up and said that he was referring my Case 185689167 to the next level higher of tech support, who would call me within 24 hours.  Of course they never did that so I called Apple Support and a representative there went way beyond what he needed to do and we were able to uninstall and reinstall Creative Cloud and make it work again, although the AAMLaucherUtil icon remains there.  Currently, it doesn't update anything like it did the first time I ran it, or act like it is trying to update anything, but it does open Creative Cloud if you have closed it. 
    Several days later (not the promised 24 hours) I got an email from my Voicemail Service with a  transcribed message from Adobe Tech Support saying that they had tried to call me... at the number listed in my subscription payment details... NOT at the number I had told them to call me at, and since I am 7000 miles away from my billing number I didn't get the call.  The message requested me to call them back.  I did so, and the message on the VRU said I would have to wait approximately 30 minutes. Two and one half hours later (not 30 minutes) someone answered who was not Second Level Tech Support, and reiterated that it was not possible to transfer me to them, and he would note that I had called back and they would call me within 24 hours.... yeah right.  By then after waiting all that time to speak to someone I was so mad that I forgot to mention the correct number to call me at... although I had mentioned it previously.  Several days later (not 24 hours) they called the wrong number again, and when I didn't answer it then sent me an email that they were considering the case solved and closing it, and I could reopen it within 14 days. 
    I then called back and this time waiting 3 hours on hold, and the person who I spoke with (whose name I withhold for now) said he would reopen the case and they would call me within 24 hours... again he couldn't transfer me to them.  Again I forgot to reiterate the correct phone number that I had told them the first time since I was so mad about waiting 3 hours on hold.
    The next day, I realized that I had not reiterated the correct phone number, and I went into my account settings and changed the phone number in both places it exists, and then tried calling back to make sure they would call the correct phone number.  This time I waited on hold for 4 hours, and finally gave up without ever being able to speak to a person.
    The next day... still no call even to the wrong number since my Voice Mail would have informed me it there was a call.... I called Sales since that seemed to be the only way to talk to a real person, and screamed at them about this issue and was informed they couldn't do anything about Tech Support, or about associating my phone number with my case number, but he would put me in the queue for tech support since nobody was in the queue so they should call me back right away. 
    I did get a call in a few minutes, which said "If Valued Customer is available, press 1" so I pressed 1 and it went to music.  I then waited for 15 minutes of music with no answer, after which I got an email from my Voicemail Service transcribing the message saying:
    "Reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine. Your response was not recognized. Please try again. When valued customer is on the line press one to speak to a support specialist. If you need time to get valued customer on the line press two. To reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine. Your response was not recognized. Please try again. When valued customer is on the line press one to speak to a support specialist. If you need time to get valued customer on the line press two. To reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine."
    ... more. Please listen to your voicemail for the remainder of this message.
    They can't recognize me pressing 1?????  So who know... I was listening to music but did that mean I was really ever going to reach a real person, or was the Voicemail message correct and I would be listening to music forever?
    So this morning I tried calling again only to receive message the the Tech Support Telephone Lines were down for scheduled maintenance until August 10th... I tried chatting... that is offline also.
    Is there a way to associate my actual phone number with my case number... maybe somebody from Adobe actually reads these diatribes?  I need to be called at or after 17:00 Pacific time.... I was told the hours are on Pacific Time.... although  one representative who I was trying to coordinate the timing of the call with was very confused about the time zones. He was trying to tell me that the current time was 09:00 Pacific Time, which I knew to be wrong, and he finally admitted, after I challenged him to look on www.timeanddate.com, that it was  09:00 in Bangalore, and Pacific time was 20:00.

    Thanks for your answer TSN!
    I did try Chat yesterday and it didn't work.... said unavailable.  I'll will try it again. 
    I do understand that this is a Community Forum, but it appears that some Adobe staff persons do read and respond to some messages, so since all other avenues of contact seem to not work, I thought I would try this just in case somebody from Adobe happened to read it and could do something.
    A secondary reason I posted the whole explanation is that I thought maybe somebody else had experienced this issue as well and might comment on it.
    As for it being a problem or not, maybe it is not.  Adobe did work when I installed it.  When I invoked that icon "AAMLauncherUtil" the first time, it updated Acrobat Pro and Installed Creative Cloud (which the original trial subscription had not installed).
    I then noticed that these two icons didn't seem to do anything useful.  The first time I called and was able to connect to support, the rather poor attitude person who answered just said to delete both icons in the folder... that they weren't needed.  When I found that one of them could be deleted and not the other one "AAMLauncherUtil" could not be deleted, and since the tech support person had suggested deleting them both, I called back.
    The next rather clueless person in tech support spent a lot of time trying to help get rid of it, but couldn't.  When he was mucking around in the "Library" he deleted everything named "AAMLauncherUtil" from the Library (but left some stuff I would have imagined could have been deleted like references to my previous trial subscription.
    After he got done, Creative Cloud no longer worked and he couldn't figure out how to fix it... we were getting messages the Creative Cloud was corrupted and needed to be uninstalled.  He said he was going to refer the problem to a  higher level tech support, and that he couldn't transfer me there... they would have to call me which would be in 24 hours.
    The next day (since the higher level tech support failed to call back) I called Apple Support, and they helped me find a Creative Cloud Uninstaller and we ran that and re-downloaded and installed Creative Cloud again.
    I would expect from the name "AAMLauncherUtil" that this icon would Launch Adobe Application Manager and perhaps try to update my product(s) like it did the first time, OR report that my software is up to date... as most other software update attempts would do.  However what it really does now when I invoke the "AAMLauncherUtil" icon is just to open Creative Cloud just as if I had clicked on the icon in the top menu bar of my Apple Menu Bar.  The Apple person suggested that MAYBE it is supposed to do that if you have shut down Creative Cloud for some reason, and want to start it up again without restarting the computer.  Maybe that is so, but if it is, then I would have expected that they would have renamed the icon to Creative Cloud or something more descriptive of what it is supposed to do.
    As is is now, I am not sure if it is a leftover remnant of my original updated installation that should have gone away when I updated and it installed Creative Cloud, or if everyone else running Adobe Acrobat Pro XI has this icon in their Launchpad as well and it is supposed to be there for some unknown reason to perform some unknown function.
    After all that happened, I did update Creative Cloud, but that was within Creative Cloud itself when it reported having an update available, and not using the "AAMLauncherUtil" icon at all, so that would appear to negate it's possible update functionality wouldn't it?
    Assuming you are using a Mac, do you have such an icon in LaunchPad?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

  • Outgoing call log shows calls from my own number to the same number

    Every so often, I pick up the phone to dial out and get a fast busy tone.  I hang up, wait a few seconds, and try again, and I have dial tone and can dial out.
    I have not noticed any pattern or timeframes when this occurs.
    When looking at my online call log, I see calls at very random and arbitrary times of the day in the Outgoing column from my own number and TO the same number.  ALWAYS after that there is an entry that the call went to voice mail.  There is never an actual voice mail message, of course; I guess it hangs up before VM detects a valid message.
    There appears to be an entry like this every single day, but, again, at very different times and with no discernible pattern.
    Why is my own phone number trying to dial out to itself and at various times of day and night?

  • Phone call with your own phone number

    Today I receive a phone call with my Home Phone on the Caller ID.  My Phone Number is supposed to be unlisted.

    It is likely a scam or robo call who often mask their own numbers by using legitimate numbers.

  • HT4211 I have two phones with verizon and we keep having issues with texts coming in on the wrong phones

    We have two phones that are on verizon, share icloud, and all of a sudden, our phones keep having our texts sent to the other phones.  we recently switched service from at&t.  It happened early on, and now it's happening again.  What do we need to do for this to stop happening?

    That's because you are using the same iCloud account for iMessage on both phones. The best way to resolve it is to log out of iCloud in Settings/Messages on ONE of the phones, and create a new iCloud account just for that phone and iMessage. Leave your other settings sharing the iCloud ID so you can share music and apps, and can trace both phones with Find my iPhone.
    The alternative is to go to Settings/Messages and change the addresses in "Send & Receive" so they are different for the 2 phones.

  • Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same phone number?  Thanks.

    Hi,  Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same AT&T phone number?  Thanks.

    Hi
    There are always some wrinkles in this kind of change.  If you have a home security system like ADT they require a land-line for their system to work.  This less of an issue in apartments and condos - it's mostly a "house" issue.
    Before you make the switch (and there may be a switching fee) just make sure you cover all the bases.
    Cheers

  • Remote Site with its own CUCM Sub#2 and Router network failed and the site didnt keep its phones active, need some assistance

    I have a Pub and 2 Sub's.  Sub #1 is with the Pub, at the main site it is our TFTP server, Sub #2 is at a remote site with about 100 users along with a router and 2 PRI's for outbound calls.  We had a network failure between the main site and the remote site and all phone lost their registration with the system until we were able to get the network back up.   Currently the network is up in a crippled state on a 1 T-1 link while we troubleshoot the bigger issue with our 6mb pipe, however Sub #2 and its associated router arent talking with the PUB or other Sub.  I'm still getting alerts every 30 minutes stating they are the server is down.  I'm sure once the network is corrected this will bring everything back on line.  My question is how can I prevent in this in the future.  I need this site to be stand alone if the network goes down again.  I was told by our vendor that if we had a subscriber at each site then we would need SRST licensing. I know something needs to be configured to make it all work, I'm just not sure what.

    I already have a group at the site but it includes both the Pub and Sub from the main site as well as the Sub from the remote site.  I would only have to remove the Sub from the main site, problem is I currently only have 1 TFTP server it runs on SUB #1, should I make SUB#2 a TFTP server as well and the phones are setup for DHCP at the main site, I'm going to need to have a DHCP server setup at the remote site as well. Correct?

    So what sync settings do you currently have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?  Any error messages when you try to sync?
    To be sure, reset sync warnings. To do this, right->click the iPod under Devices and choose Reset Warnings. Then resync your iPod.

  • SNR calls on the remote phone but doesn't answer

    Heloo
    When i call to the ip phone with DID from external phone it rings both on the desk phone and remote phone but it doesn’t connect when it is picked from the remot phone and it continues ringing on the desk phone. While it works for calls that are internal.
    In addition to this the caller id doesn’t appear in the remote phone instead of the caller id the office number appears.
    withe regured
    Addisu

    Speaking of PSTN connection, note that only circuits with out-of-band signaling are supported. In other words, no analog or T1 CAS circuits as CUCM needs answer supervision from the gateway.
    Secondly, the Answer too Soon/Too Late timers become quite important here. CUCM must not see the CONNECT event (or 200 OK if SIP) outside of this window. If it does, CUCM will assume that voicemail answered instead of the user and drop the Remote Destination from consideration. This means the desk phone would start ringing even though the cell stops. Turn up a few debugs to see what the PSTN circuit is telling the gateway and CUCM. When does the call technically connect?
    As for caller ID: what does CUCM send as the ANI of the outbound call? If it passes the correct value and you don't see it on the cell phone, the carrier is filtering your ANI. This is common with RBOCs/ILECs with legacy Class5 switches: they only allow you to set a caller ID value to a DID that you own. You may need to ask your carrier how to override this. Some carriers won't let you, others will if you add RDNIS/Diversion header.

  • Make call with CAD via third party

    Hi friends,
    I am in a situation of implementing manual dialing from CAD in a UCCE environment from a 3rd party application. I have CISCO CAD 8.5 premimum and trying to explore different possibilities:
    Click-to-call with hyperlink dialing enabled
    Having hyperlink enabled, I can see a US formatted number (10 digits) is made clickable automatically and the system dials out as I press the number. For testing, I tried to place a shorter number (another IP-phone extension) and tried to simulate the call with my own number like
    <a href="#*46712"> extension_number </a>. Nothing happens when I click on it.
    I got this idea from the posts https://communities.cisco.com/message/27737 and https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2036741
    I couldn't find any document that explains what CAD does behind the scene. I actually want to write a small application that would call via CAD through an external application.
    IPC Action
    Sounds interesting at a first glance and being a programmer I'll be very much willing to explore implementing an IPC action for making call. On
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/custcosw/ps5693/ps427/prod_white_paper0900aecd804c6cdd.html, in the section of IPC based integration I found this quite interesting:
    "Agents also use a click-to-call capability in their Visual Basic application for outbound dialing. An outbound UDP socket session passes the phone number the agent selected to Cisco Agent Desktop, which makes the outbound call."
    But there's no supporting document or further information how can this be achieved.
    Can an external application call CAD for outbound dialing via UDP request? If yes, what parameters should the external app pass for this?
    Thanks for your valuable information,
    Jawad Bokhari

    Hi again,
    I figured out everything just by closely going through the documentation and some hit & tries.
    For making outbound call from external source, we can use "IPC Make Call Action" described the Cisco desktop administrator guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_5/user/guide/cda85ccxug-cm.pdf
    To make CAD receive a make-call event from external source like 3rd party CRM, we have to enable "Remote Access". It's also clearly documented as activating the "Allow activating Receive events" and specify the UDP port.
    Every CAD agent machine then listens on specified UDP socket.
    Finally, it worked perfectly for me
