Calling/texting to Bell Canada customer

Hello. I have a friend from Canada who is a customer of Bell Canada cell service. If my friend is in the United States, can I call and/or text her with no additional charge to my cell phone bill? ?
Thank you.
Kathy

As long as you are in the US, you can send and recieve texts from Canada at no extra charge. That means that the texts will count against your usual texting allowance.
If you are in the US, you can RECIEVE calls from international locations at no extra charge. So your friend can call you from Canada at no cost to you.
The cost of calling Canada will vary depending on the calling plan you have. Verizon offers Nationwide + Canada plans, as well as International Long Distance packages that can help reduce your costs. The information on those is here: http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Long_Distance/North_America/Canada.html

3G Issues on Bell Canada Network

Hi,
I have been without 3g service on my 32GB 3G iPad 2 for the last three days. My 3G data did work beforehand. My Wi-fi connection works fine.
I get no 3G connection using any app but when using Safari, I get an error message of:
Cannont Open Page
Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost.
My iPad shows full bars and says Bell 3G in the corner.
I spent a lot of time on the phone with tech support running me through the standard troubleshooting procedures, turning settings on and off, resets, I even did a full restore when I got home.
Thinking it may be a hardware issue, I went to the Apple Store and they gave me a whole new iPad, but after reinserting my SIM, I got the same issue.
I went over to the Bell kiosk in the mall and was there for about an hour doing more troubleshooting including giving me a new SIM card.
I'm thinking the probability of having two faulty iPads is pretty low and am assuming it is totally on Bell's shoulders. Talking to tech support today, they admitted they've had a few similar calls.
Has anyone else experienced the same issues?
I am kinda POd as I had a skin on the back of my original iPad that wasn't coming off in any nice fashion so I had to leave it on the iPad going back to the warehouse esentially putting me out money.
I'm supposedly a "high priority" with Bell and am expecting a callback later today or tomorrow.
I'll be switching to Rogers or Telus if this isn't wrapped up soon, so annoying.

@spitfire411
Here's the confusing part. You are claiming that you are on a shared data plan and yet your wife's corporate only has a 500Mb data plan. As I recall from a Bell Canada rep, any shared data plan with a smartphone (iPhone) requires a minimum of a 1Gb data plan. And in order to achieve something similar to what you thought you are getting, you need a small business account with about 1000 voice mins plus extra $30 gets you a 6Gb data plan and plus $10 additional share plan to share the data plan with your tablet (that was when the 1st iPad came out -- they lowered the restrictions somewhat since then). I had to upgrade to this plan in order to get sharing and tethering to work properly. The monthly flex plan you mentioned is I believe an independent plan by itself and should not be tied with your wife's corporate plan. Perhaps they may have made a mistake and tagged your tablet's plan as a shared data plan with a smartphone, but since it's only a 500Mb data plan, the system probably refused to allow sharing because of its failure to meet the minimum 1Gb data plan for smartphones that's required. Unless Bell had changed this requirement recently?!?
Bell's Corporate EPP plan is not the same as a small or business plan because some people can get it through say BCAA (then) or Costco or an employee working for a company, so sometimes Bell people confused what's possible in a business plan that is not available on a corporate plan and I suspect this may explain why you lost access after the 1st billing cycle.
To give you an idea, minimal browsing and email and social networking can consume about 1Gb/month with an iPad. Any minimal Youtube streaming and Shoutcast or Tunein Radio usage on top of what you are doing, you will need a minimum of about 3Gb/month. Yes, a tablet can suck bandwidth much more than an iPhone which probably explains why Bell wants you to have a minimum 1Gb data plan so if you plan to tether an iPad to an iPhone, you are not going to get any surprises with a 1Gb data plan as opposed to a 500Mb plan. So unless you have a large data plan (5Gb or higher), you should keep your smartphone and tablet plans separate.
Good luck in your progress with Bell and let us know what you found.

CALLING TEXT EDITOR INTO TABSTRIP.

Hello Friends,
I want to call text editor in tabstrip. I call the standard editor in my zprog. Using EDITOR-CALL FOR T2 TITLE 'PARA3'. Code but when this code is run it calls the editor in full screen.
Is it possible that I can call the editor in specific tabstrip area?

You have to use ABAP class CL_GUI_TEXT_EDITOR for it.
In your tabscrip subscreen create a custom container and within this custom container call the object of the text editor class.

Call/text blocking

does anyone know what Verizon message is seen by the owner of a number who has attempted calling and /or texting but have been placed on call/text block. And is there a way find out if these blocked numbers have attempted to contact you

Hi aboutyou,
Unwanted calls can be very frustating! There is not a way to see if a blocked number has tried to call or message you. If the blocked number is a VZW customer, they will see a red X in the sent folder with status failed notification. Followed by "Delivery failed. Invalid destination or service blocked at destination". They will also receives a text message alert - "You cannot send messages to destinations that are blocked by the account owner." If a block non VZW customers attempts to send you a message, they will see a green check mark with a "Message Sent" notification but message not delivered to your line.
Addtionally if a block VZW or non VZW number attempts to call you: Call does not go through. The blocked line hears an audio alert " The number that you have dialed has calling restrictions that have prevented the completion of this call. I am confident this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thanks,

HT201328 Unlocking from Bell Canada

The carrier is BELL Canada. They stated that they do not unlock iPhone due to an Apple restriction and that I should contact Apple to get the phone unlocked. Call Apple and they referred me to this article which is not helpful.Any ideas how to proceed?

Apple has nothing to do with the decision to lock or unlock iphones.
Locking/unlocking is 100% the decision of the carrier.
ONLY Bell Canada can unlock your iphone. Apple can do nothing at all to help. This is completely up to Bell Canada.

No Paid Apps on pre 2 Bell Canada

Hi,
I received a Palm pre 2 from HP unlocked. When I activated it, on Bell Canada, I noticed I have no access to paid apps...
I also only have limited free apps. I can see angry birds on the Featured apps, but If i click on it it says "no Package found"
I also tried using Synergy, but I can't see that package either, this is starting to get annoying. I chatted with a palm rep for an hour last week but nothing was fixed. An engineer is supposed to call me back, (That was last week)... Still nothing.
In my palm Profile and On my phone I noticed the carrier was showing ROW, not sure if this is an issue. I have tried everything on this erase, full erase, nothing seems to work. I even did a full Erase and tried activating it on Rogers... Still nothing.
What sucks even more is most of my co-workers got theirs (They were on rogers, so they didn't get the unlocked one) and they are all working fine. BTW did I mention I actually work for HP and this is my corporate phone ? Kinda Ironic isn't it...
Anyway any feedback will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Unlocked NA)

Hi,
Not sure if this is true, but my understanding is that the first activation after the Palm Pre comes out of the package has to be with the carrier that the machine was originally on in order to get the App Catalog to work with paid apps.
I have a personal experience with a locked to Rogers Palm Pre 2. I activated it on Rogers, then unlocked it and activated it on Bell Mobility and I have full access to the app store.
Hope this helps. Unfortunately, my understanding is that it is the first activation that matters, any subsequent activation after a WebOS doctor for some reason does not change anything.

Howard

Network connected but no calls/texts

I just replaced my faceplate because my old one was broken. Now my phone doesn't work. Calls, texts, email, nothing that goes over the cell network works. Wifi does work. I've gone into settings and toggled the connections. I've tried soft and hard resets. I've connected to the phone's software. I'm getting a medium-full cell signal but I just can't connect to it. The phone company doesn't chip the faceplate does it? Any ideas?

Hi, Galin,
Welcome to the forums. I will see if I can help you. Try a couple of things. First, on your device, go to Options>Advanced Options>Host Routing Table. Now press the Menu key (left of the trackpad). Select Register Now. Your device will now try to connect to the network and you should receive a message stating it was sucessful. Next, if that did not do the trick, go to Email Settings. Once connected, you can select the menu key and press Service Books. Press the Send Service Books. You should then receive the latest service books on your device.
Let me know if this helps get you going. If those do not do the trick, then you may have a problem with your account and you may need to call customer service, obviously from another phone. Hope this helps.

Iphone4 user, I cannot hear incoming calls/text, please advise.

I cannot hear incoming calls/text, however, I am able to make calls/text.
I did the sounds check (where it needs to be tested, and it works)
Please advise.

When you toggle the switch it will display an icon of a bell either with a line through it or not. You can double check this by looking at the link below:

I just got my iphone 6 today and I can't call,text,or use data.

I have problems where I can't call, text, and surf though INTERNET. When I turn on internet (YouTube, Facebook and such), it uses my data but it doesn't work. I tried to call customer service MANY TIMES but my phone won't let me call.... I really need to fix this ASAP because I use my phone in various ways. I usually have 'no service' or 'one bar' or 'two bars' but regardless, it doesn't work..... I tried to use Wifi but it also doesn't work.... This is a very serious problem to me. Please Verizon do something!I My old phone "Cosmos 2" worked just fine in same area. I live in MD zip:21532.

Did you check the security software on your computer?

You can also go back to the Apple Store and let them activate the phone.

Time Capsule will not connect to internet through Bell (Canada) router

Help! I cannot be connected to my Time Capusle and still use the interenet! I have a 1st generation Time Capsule and the router supplied by Bell Canada is a 2Wire Gateway. When I first purchased the Time Capsule, the same thing was happening. Internet would work when connected to Bell router but not when trying to go through Time Capsule. I called Apple and was able to recieve telephone support which fixed the problem. That was close to 2 year ago and never had a problem until now. Internet works fine when connecting to only Bell router, Time Machine works fine when computer is connected to Time Capsule.
The only problem is I can't use the interent when connected to Time Capsule (like before). I have tried everything hard wired and wireless. I have tried hard resets. I went to call Apple again but found out it was going to cost me something like $60.

You must bridge the TC.. is the TC in bridge mode.. ??
What OS is running on the comptuer?
In v5 utility go to manual setup.. internet connection.. connection sharing.. off bridge mode.
In v6 utility go to DHCP and NAT page.. select router mode off bridge mode.
Once in bridge the TC should work.. remember the gen1 TC is now at least 1year past its die date.. it will become less and less reliable as time goes on.. no matter what you do.

Bell Canada Palm Pre - Second Class Citizen

I've had my pre for a while now and really enjoy using it. I love the touch screen, I enjoy the multi-tasking abilities and am generally a fan.
Unfortunately I've been made to feel like a second class citizen time and time again from Bell Canada.
I cannot get updates at the same time as my Sprint Brothers and Sisters.
I cannot get an answer as to when this will occur, or why the delay exists on Bell's end.
I cannot purchase applications that I want to use and as such cannot reward publishers and programmers for their hard work, and incent them to continue to create applications for an OS that i think is quite amazing.
In short I feel that Bell mobility has let me down, and in effect let Palm down.
Once my contract is up, i will not renew with Bell.
Hopefully some one else will carry Palm products in Canada and will fully support them.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

Well i can agree with this post up to a certain point. Most of the previous Updates were released at the same time as the ones in the states....however this update has improvements for Sprint. So bell has to take the update and switch over there programming to benefit from the features that the update will bring for us. But i do agree that the lack of information given to bell employees about up coming updates is pathetic (Should call support not the bell store). However this will not stop me from using bell. The update is coming. and we will have to be patient about it. I am also against the fact that canadian users can't purchase Apps....and that most of the good apps are submitted for US only....what is the point of even putting it up? U wish palm would hurry up and give us the things they have told us about and stop putting out useless updates that really don;t fix anything. Yes the space limitations are gone...but even after 1.3.5. its still slow and laggy and this is Unacceptable. I should just buy a blackberry!

IPhone 5s no call/text sounds work. Game sounds done work either. Only sound that works are music and videos

the call/text sounds don't work. Neither do sounds coming from the games I play(clash of clan) or other apps I use such as snapchat/vine. the sounds only When I play music/videos

Hi there Prideleader,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

My iPhone 5 won't ring at all. Phone calls, texts etc. are all vibration only even though under Sounds everything is correct. What am I doing wrong?

My iPhone 5 won't ring . It only vibrates for calls, texts, etc. what am I doing wrong?

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
