Calls with no caller ID info still coming in...

I have Verizon digital voice.  And this after having Vonage for years.  Oh, how I sometimes wish I had never changed.  Such as when I continually have phone calls ringing in that have "Unavailable" showing up on my TV screen and phone.  I have set up my account so that calls with no caller ID available won't even ring.  Perhaps someone here, another user or a VZ employee can explain this to me.  I NEVER got a call that came in with no caller ID info when I had Vonage.
On another note, can someone else explain how numbers that are unpublished and unlisted, whether they are cell phones, home phones, or business phones, can be bought?  For example, I would be really ticked off to find out, after paying for an unlisted and unpublished number, that someone can type my phone number in and buy my name, address, etc.
Thanks.

*77, or Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR), only rejects call that would show on caller ID as "anonymous" or "private". These are calls where the incoming caller ID information is there, but the caller has chosen to block it from appearing on your caller id display. *77 cannot block calls where there is no caller ID information sent, such as "unavailable", "unknown",  or "out of area". These calls can only be screened with the optional feature Call Intercept.

  • Associating native calls with the calling object

    I have a problem where calls into a native library need to retain data for subsequent method calls. Imagine the following two native methods (just imagine that the signature is write for JNI methods):
    void initialise(int value)
    // Stores the value somehow
    void dosomething()
      // Does something with the previously stored value
    }If I was to store the value in a global variable, then it would be shared across all instance of the java class wouldnt it? So if object 1 called initialise, then object 2 called initialise, whichever of the objects then called dosomething, it would be based on the latest call to initialise.
    How do I get around this sort of thing?
    I currently work in C, though I would be quite happy to switch to C++ if necessary.

    I haven't used JNI_OnUnload, but may see why it isn't called. The doc says it runs in the finalizer for the classloader that loaded the library. Assuming this is the system (not custom) classloader, then its finalizer will never run because it gets gc'd only at shutdown, and finalizers don't run at shutdown by default. You could try calling Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit, but it's deprecated and sounds unsafe.
    So my next idea would be to add a shutdown hook (Runtime.addShutdownHook) the first time one of your objects is constructed. The hook would call a native method to do the cleanup. Or since a shutdown hook is a Thread subclass, just make your overridden run() be the native cleanup function.
    Of course this now requires keeping a native-side data structure to track the native objects, though I'd still vote for storing each native peer's pointer in a Java long field for fast dereference, and make this native data structure be a simple array or list (not map) for usage only by the cleanup logic.
    Another idea is to clean up in a function called by the OS or C++ runtime when your library is unloaded, independent of Java. This could be DllMain (for Windows) or a C++ global object destructor.

  • No Facetime calls with iOS7 - call has ended!

    Hi guys,
    since I've updated my iphone 5 to iOS7, I can't call my girl-friend or many other people on facetime. My girlfriend for example has an iphone 4 with iOS 6.1.4. Facetime tries to connect, but instead of establishing the call, the call ends.
    I tried everything so far, clearing the network settings, erasing all data/ settings and re-install iOS7. On top several re-registrations of facetime.
    iMessage is working and I succeeded to call a colleague on his 4S with iOS7.
    I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is another reason. Problem occurs on wifi and 3G.
    Anybody's got an idea, please tell me.
    Thanks a lot.
    Kind regards,

  • Integration with Cisco Call Manager?

    We have Cisco VOIP phones and we would like to continue managing calls with Cisco Call Manager.  We currently have voicemail on Cisco Unity.  We currently have Exchange 2010, but plan to start using Exchange 2013 soon.
    However, we would like to migrate voicemail service from Cisco Unity to Exchange Unified Messaging and also want to take advantage of most of the voicemail-related features of UM such as voice to text sent to email, voice mail waiting indicator light on
    the phones and sending voice mail audio attachments to email. 
    Is Exchange 2013 Unified Messaging compatible Cisco phones that are managed by Cisco Call Manager?
    We have 500 users and 2 Exchange 2010 servers (1 CAS and 1 Mailbox Server).  We now have a few Exchange 2013 licenses available in addition to our existing 2010 licenses that are already used on our existing 2 servers.  Can we keep the 2 existing
    Exchange 2010 servers as they are and create a new Unified Messaging server on  Exchange 2013 in the same environment or do we need to upgrade all the 2010 servers to 2013 if we use Unified Messaging on 2013?

  • HT3519 How can I find who called me if I receive a call from "No Caller ID"?  If there's no way to identify, why's this option provided? There's a potential risk in using this.

    Why is there an option "To show/not to show your caller ID"?

    What I have started doing is for calls that don't allow for caller ID, I allow them to go over to voicemail.
    So far I am finding that a huge number of those calls with no caller ID refuse to leave a message on voicemail also.
    I figure it they were that interesting in calling me that they can't leave a voicemail, I can't be bothered calling them back either.
    It has certainly cut down on the number of phone calls I have to deal with using voicemail as a filter.

  • Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen?

    Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen? I was of the impression that this issue will be fixed with updates. Please see the screenshot.

    Hello Beardsell,
    This is when the phone is unlocked mode. My snapshot is when the phone is locked.
    Remember when you get a call when the phone is locked and you used to have slide to answer in iOS 6 and if you slide up you would have options to reject, reject with a message and reject with a reminder. We dont have that in iOS 7. iOS 7 *****,  I cannot get back to iOS6, apple needs to be user friendly. Screen shot 1 when the phone is locked, screenshot 2 when the phone is unlocked.

  • Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID?  I may have a solution.
    When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in.  On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out). 
    Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code). 
    To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords".  These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not.  This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
    This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!).  Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled.  Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
    Hopefully this may solve yours

    Fixed the problem. Got the Iphone 5

  • This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in.

    This happened to me when I received a call. My phone started vibrating when it received the incoming call but the screen was black and kept vibrating like as if the call was still coming in, even though my friend hung up. It kept going and going, so I tried holding down the lock button to turn it off but screen was still black/turned off. Hitting home did nothing. My friend said to try holding down the lock button and home button together to reset it. I tried this and yet nothing happened. I am waiting for the battery to drain out and give it a try.

    To reset, you have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears - takes 10-15 seconds.

  • Solution please : several contacts with India call...

    Since renewing my contract for Broadband and phone with caller id on 07/05/14 despite four attempts by BT call centres , I still can't get caller id on my phones. We spoke with Panasonic who say that my phone will get caller id if its subscribed. We have spent literally hours talking to various staff whose solution is not to look at what had been done before but to start again with a promise and that entails getting rid of us for a while .
    First that it would be active in 24 hours ( 08/05), then there was a hardware problem at the exchange (09/05) and an engineer would attend the exchange and fix it within three days ( no engineer, no phone call's or contacts from that ), (16/05)an hour and a half on the internet chat link to BT and were assured after we were told  all manner of things had to be keyed into our phone (except 666 being the sign of the devil and hence not good practice!) and that it would work after 24 hrs.........still no caller id , the phone shows incoming call only still and finally (17/05) I got rude with the call centre in India and a supervisor was put on who said it would take 48 hours to sort it and an engineer would have a make a adjustment at the exchange .....that's very unlikely at short notice where we are and he had no explanation why an engineer never turned out or an apology......so in the meantime the phone rings several times a day with a crook on the end trying to sell or con us out of something .......ho hum!

  • Problems with conference calls(adding and merging calls) after upgrade to ios 8.1.2 on iphone 5s

    I am having weird problem intermittently with adding calls or merging them or swapping them. The issue happens 8 out of 10 times whenever I try to do a conference call. This issue came up after I upgraded to 8,1.2. Never experienced this in 8.1.1 or previous version.
    Some of the scenarios that I have experienced is:
    1. While on the call, when I try to add a new contact, it just doesn't dial the second number.
    2. Sometimes the second number gets dialed, cannot merge the calls.
    3. After talking to the second person, cannot go back to the first call.
    I am very sure that this is not a carrier issue as it worked flawlessly before upgrade.
    Anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the above infromation. I did a complete restore of my iphone through iTunes connecting it to my computer via cable. iOS8.1.3 was re-installed. I then added back my settings and data which were backed up prior to restoring the phone. I still have the same issue with conferencing and adding a third caller. When I hit the [+] box, the existing caller is not put on hold. The phone appears to be making a call but it is not dialing to the 3rd party. Shortly thereafter, the Merge icon appears but there is no active call to merge with. I have tried this several times using my wife's iPhone and our home phone to set up a 3-way call. I know it is not working because the 3rd phone (our home phone) does not ring. Is this a hardware problem? My wife's iPhone 6 works with no problem and was purchased the same time I purchased my iPhone 6. Probably time for a visit to the Apple Store unless there is another solution.

    What's wrong with my device?  It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber...  Can someone help?

    My device is a Blackberry Z30.  Skype and Viber just to work fine.  I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi.  Suddenly they stopped working to make calls.  I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting.  The same in both applications.  The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings.   I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem.  I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.
