Connecting to phone bridge

I have a question... I am attempting to connect to different phone bridges, such as Alanon phone bridge, (712-432-8774, access 52639#) and OA phone meetings (712-432-5200). I call in, get connected, and a few seconds later a message comes on saying that the call is blocked.
It has been suggested that I contact skype to resolve this issue....
I have verified my mobile phone number, I have paid for unlimited minutes for US & Canada calling, and I still get blocked.
Any ideas how to get around this? It is quite frustrating.
Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

Can't download any apps off my phone, Tablet dos not connect to phone

Someone please help me, cause I am honestly about to loose my mind. I have a Torch and I've only had it for a year now and all my services arent working, I'm considering switching to an IPhone if I can't figure this all out today.
So first problem I'm trying to buy one single app off app world billing threw Roger's Canada and it keeps saying there was some error, I looked it up on the website and apperently you just have to switch to debit or paypal, I don't like using online payment methods like that why can't I just get it on my bill? Either way they get the money, I don't see how its so difficult to just bill threw my service provider. I also have no time to call them and tell them all I want to order, I just want ONE $1.99 app, I'm not going to sit on the phone for 20 minutes+ for one app, then have to do it again when I want another app. I have been trying to buy the same one app for about 2 months now, seriously I just want to buy the app and get it over with how is that so hard? I want to bill threw my Service Provider it takes two seconds to put it on my bill.
Next problem, the blackberry bridge on my phone/tablet has just stopped working and disappeared. I paid $500 for this tablet that I was advised not to buy because Blackberry was "going down the whole" so much for having faith in the company, this thing is a peice of junk. And apperently so is my phone, again how is it all the sudden my bridge disappeared? I can't connect my phone to it now? So why didn't I just get a cheaper tablet that could do the exact same things??? I don't know if these are new problems in the system or something but I have been trying to hook up my phone to this tablet for a while it used to work then I upgraded the software and now its gone and I've tried everything its just not coming back. Like I don't understand, why would you not put the Blackberry Bridge in the updated version? And why is it deleted off my phone? Then when I try to re-install it, it says its still there.
Very disappionted in Blackberry right now, nothing on my phone is working and it seems I'm not the only one.

Well, I can't tell...has it been working fine for a year, and this suddenly started? If so, what happened just before this behavior started? Undo that to see if it helps. If it's not been working at all for a year, well...I'm not sure how to reply to that...you must have great patience indeed, though.

Oh how I do wish you'd have given us the actual error message...otherwise, you leave us guessing...but, in short, each carrier decides if they will allow carrier billing or not. It's their choice to do so, or not. I've no idea if Rogers allows it or not.
Also, if you are part of a BES environment, it's possible your BES admins have restricted carrier billing...they, too, have the right to do whatever they must to enforce company policies. But, again, without details, this remains just another guess.

I completely disagree with your opinions there...but no matter, they are indeed opinions. There are plenty of people who are getting quite a bit of good use out of both types of devices.

Well, once again, the lack of details makes it pretty difficult to diagnose. "I can't connect" is pretty useless as far as symptom descriptions go. For instance, what exact steps do you attempt? What exactly happens with each step? Any error messages? If so, once again, the complete and accurate error message is critical to helping you.

It's a free market place, you are free to do whatever you desire. But, ranting here isn't perhaps the best way to seek help from kind volunteers... Plus, you've spent quite a bit of effort on your rants, but have left out the details that perhaps might have more quickly guided us to useful help for you...

Again, "tried everything" isn't terribly useful to us...we aren't clairvoyant... Have you tried completely removing the pairing of the two devices and re-configuring them from scratch? Also, what software did you upgrade? Your BB OS? Your PB? From what version(s) to what version(s)? Did you re-install the Bridge from scratch?

samm1234 wrote:

Updated version of what? BB Bridge is an add-on app, not used by everyone. As such, including it inside the core apps would be a waste of AppMemory for those who do not need it.
samm1234 wrote:
And why is it deleted off my phone?
Well, you did some kind of upgrade or update, but since we don't know yet exactly what that was, we can only guess. And my guess is that you somehow updated your BB OS, and as such, you need to re-install all of your add-on apps. It is ALWAYS better to reinstall add-on apps when you upgrade the OS...some may not be compatible with the new OS you have installed. Some may have a different version for the OS you installed. Plus, reinstalling add-ons is always better so as to be sure that they are properly installed after such a major update of the BB OS.

That's interesting...but, again, the exact message it presents is always more helpful. Check here, though:
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
Anyway, lots of clarification is needed from you if we're to do anything but WAG.
Good luck and let us know!

Jabber for iPhone & iPad too long to connect to "Phone Services"

Hello,
Has anybody ever experienced delay issues with Jabber for iPhone and/or iPad to connect to "Phone Services"?
In my case, the service does connect but it can take about 1 minute. Some times it can be faster but some others it can take a while to make the service available.
Regards,

You've hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, though to me a month (and then another) to wait for a new line is nothing - I am on my fifth order with BT. They lost the first three, then tried charging me an arm and a leg in excess charges for the fourth. I am trying again, this time with a total package to see if they are a bit more useful when they actually know I'm not going to switch to another provider - fingers crossed.
If they do come back with massive excess charges again though this time I've done my homework. I now know the measurements between my property and the pole as well as the BT price list they use to calculate the charges. I've also worked out a cheaper route than the one they were suggesting - Ofcom say they should offer the cheapest route and the opportunity for the customer to do some of their own work but with me they didn't do either. They also didn't consider that we don't have reliable mobile signal here. They also didn't provide me with any details of how they'd come to that figure and just demanded it. I've had lots of advice from DEFRA, the Department for Business, Innopvation and Skills, Ofcom and ex-Openreach planners and should be able to get a line under the USO. I have a horrible feeling that I've done all this homework now though and they'll just come out and do it without demanding the excess, but if they do I am at least ready this time.

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

How to connect my phone to macbook air for the call feature ?

Hi, my macbook air, 2014 just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. My iPhone is the 5 version, iOS 8.02. I don't know how to connect my phone to the mac for the call feature. What should I do first?
Thanks very much!

Check these settings:
On the phone:
On your Mac (FaceTime Preferences):
Your AppleIDs for both need to be identical, and both using the same WiFi network.

When I connect my phone to my comp it tells me that there's an update to iOS 4.3.3, when I try to actually do the update it goes so far and says that it cannot back up my phone because it's disconnected, when nothing's been touched to dc it.

I've been trying to update my phone to iOS 4.3.3 like it tells me to when I connect my phone to my computer, and it goes so far, then I get an error box (no error number) with a message telling me that my phone can't be backed up because it's disconnected. Now I know I've touched nothing to disconnect it, everything else is working fine, I just CANNOT get my phone to back up. I called Apple and my phone support expired 10 days ago (go figure!!) Anyone else run into this and find a way to get it to work? He got me to delete the backup that was on my system to see if that helped...nothing.

Hi,
What is your current computer and OS? It looks as though your iphone is not compatible with your computer.

Can I access my backup contacts on my mac somewhere whithout actually connecting the phone?

Hi,
I have a problem. Me an my boyfriend had to share the same apple id and the same macbook to connect our phones to. Now, for some strange reasons after backing up in iCloud. My boyfriend's contacts are all gone. iCloud backup still shows two different backup folders for the two seperate phones but I don't know how to see the content or don't know if that is possible at all. The question is, how can we get his contacts back? He is in another country and cannot connect his phone to the mac. I just hope now, after iCloud messed it up, that the contacts are still saved from the last backup he did on the mac itself (via iTunes). Is there a way to see then on the mac without connecting the phone?
Thank you all,
Julia

Hi I think I have a solution. I just purchased one of these amazing little phones this week and had the same issue, and I too was about to throw it out the door and revert to my old Noika 6120....I was also following the adivce above but no luck. Then fortunately I came across this feature....
Select 'Contacts' and you will see at the very top of the screen a little white bar with the word 'Contacts' in it, it also has a little drop down arrow to the right. Use you navigation buttons to get you up to that little bar, when you are there it will highlight (my comes up in blue) then you have the choice of either 'Contacts' (refers to the Ovi info) or 'Phone' (refers to the 'old fashioned' list of contacts that we have all been looking for. Select 'Phone'. This will then allow the features that are mentioned in the discussions above to be activated. Follow those instructions to make this 'Phone' list premanently displayed on your phone, but the instructions given above will work now.
Hopes this helps, now I am so happy with new little phone, its fantastic! Love it!
Cheers all

Make sure everything is on your computer. Select what you want on your iphone, sync

ITunes hangs when I connect my phone

iTunes 10.2.1.1, iPhone 3GS iOS 4.3, Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
Short summary: when I connect my phone to sync, iTunes hangs. If I let it sit for a minute or two it will eventually crash. If I disconnect my phone before this then iTunes starts responding just fine.
Details:
I just "flattened" my computer: formatted the drive, reinstalled the OS (and upgraded to Win 7 SP1 off of a DVD with the combined install). The computer waas fine before this, I just wanted to do some spring cleaning. My iTunes library is sitting on a server and has always been accessed over the network.
After the re-install of the OS I installed iTunes and pointed it at my library. That was fine. Then I connected the phone. At that point it was running iOS 4.2.something. I decided to upgrade to iOS 4.3. That seemed to work fine. After that when I connect the phone iTunes hangs.
I decided to reset the phone with the option to erase all content and settings. iTunes now worked ok. So I did an initial sync, telling it to set it up as a new phone. I did not sync any music at this point--I have ~22GB of music, it takes a long time to sync. This still worked fine. So then I sync'd the phone again, this time installing all the music. Again iTunes hangs.
I wondered if the library was screwed up. So I installed iTunes on a laptop (running Win 2008 Server R2), pointed it at my same library (still over the network). Then started over: reset the phone, clearing all settings & content. Sync from the laptop. It works fine. Sync the music from the laptop, it still works fine. It also seems clear that it's not a problem with the iTunes library.
Back to my original computer, the one with problems, my wife is using it logged in with her account and syncing her iPad without any problems. However, she has very little music on her iPad, maybe one ripped CD, whereas my iPhone has hundreds.
So the issue seems specific to this one computer & phone that has a lot of music on it. I never had a problem on the computer before, but that was iTunes before 10.2, iOS 4.2 (and earlier), Win 7 without SP1, ... So I've changed lots of things at the same time and am not sure which one really created the problem. Although I wonder if it's a problem with Service Pack 1. I don't have any concerns about a bad install of the SP, since I did a full install of the OS that already had SP1 integrated into it. But maybe iTunes 10.2.1.1 has an issue with SP1.
Any suggestions?

I've been following a Windows forum about the freezing problem. It happened to us and our three iOS devices immediately after upgrading Windows 7 64-bit to SP1. There were plenty of others with the same problem. Rolling back SP1 solved it instantly. Reinstalling SP1 caused it instantly. No amount of cleanly uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime, iTunes, or any components helped.
Although I have an image of my system before SP1 that I could revert to, I didn't want to. Luckily *a temporary fix is to run iTunes in Vista compatibility mode*. The iOS device will now be recognized most, if not all, of the time. ITunes will run like molasses, but that's better than being unable to sync any of your devices ever again. (I could describe compatibility mode, but you seem PC-savvy.)
Here is the specific trouble I am addressing, although it is only part of your trouble. We plug in one of our iPhones or our Touch, iTunes hangs for a couple of minutes. Windows sees the device as a camera if applicable, but the device never appears in iTunes. It's worth repeating that Windows doesn't have trouble recognizing the device. The problem is with iTunes.
And yes, everyone tried all sorts of things with the Apple Mobile Device utility. People even tried "nuking" all their USB drivers and letting them get rebuilt on startup. The only temporary fix found so far is Vista mode, and the only permanent fix is downgrading the OS to before SP1.

My iPhone never had a problem syncing with my iTunes. I check all the songs I want and when I manually connect the phone to the computer via USB, i would select "sync only checked songs and videos". No music will sync now and I've tried everything?

Normally my phone would connect with my computer and replace all the songs on my phone with all the songs available in my library. Now it seems as if the songs on my phone are permanently there, and nothing from my iTunes library will sync. I tried syncing with another library on another computer and nothing would sync onto my iPhone from that one either. I feel like it's a problem with the phone, not the iTunes, but I'm not sure. Ive been trying things for the last 8 hours. Why won't my music sync to my phone??

1. Open iTunes.
2. Click the View option in the iTunes menu.
3. Select the Show Sidebar option.
Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is oen way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purhases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
