DNS outage area code 01494 last hour or so.

I tried checking the service status website but it just tells me there is an error whenever I try to check my phone number. I wonder if anyone can find out if there is an ongoing issue with Broadband DNS servers. Essentially got sudden complete packet loss to every website, and the only thing that remained working for whatever reason was Skype (was in a call, it stayed up for some reason). Managed to get back to browsing using Google's DNS manually per my computer (no way to do this on the Homehub, is there?), possibly. Although I think whatever the problem was might have been resolved.

you can also use the status phone line 08001690199

Permanently blocking a caller regardless of the "area code"

Hello. I can't seem to find anything similar to this in the archives. There is a pest caller calling me that has a number very similar to my own, only the last 2 digits are different, the rest looks like my phone number. Originally they started calling me with the area code the same as mine, but I was able to block them and get rid of them for a while but they just start up again with a different area code. Same phone number though. Today they called about 6 times within an hour and while I don't answer it, they just try again within a few minutes. Is there a way to block these annoying calls by phone number regardless of the area code the call looks like it is coming from? Obviously they are spoofing the number. I'm only able to block 10 phone numbers through the support page, and my phone doesn't have a blocking feature.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks about nomorobo.com. I use that, and it blocks (with a single ring) many robocallers, but not this one. The latest area code is 406 and looking that up it appears to be a cell phone caller. By the way, I work as a contractor for the FTC and the Do Not Call list, so I try to report every robocaller and telemarketer and urge others to do the same. It's just this pesky one with a phone number almost the same as mine that keeps changing only the area code to get past my blocks. I'm going to report this one, too, again. Maybe the FTC is getting a lot of these and will look into them, but I know it isn't an overnight solution for them to investigate, but I know for a fact that they do.
Thanks for the reply!

Help: repeated calls from area code 266

I am getting repeated calls at all hours from area code 266 and different numbers. When i answer i get mostly silence or some voice i can not understand. When I call back I am told the number does not exist. When I use google to trace the number (e.g.266 950 6008 or 266-949-1883 I am told there is not such number.
What can I do to stop this?
Verizon has told me that I may have to get a new number. Is there anything else I can try before this?

You can block up to 5 numbers for free for 90 days via your on-line MyVerizon account. You can block more if you pay $4.99 per month for the Usage Controls. There's other threads on this forum that also talk about apps and other avenues (like You Mail) that you can use.
I had several of those calls and blocked them. After a week or two the caller would change their number (at least that's what I'm thinking they were doing), so I'd go in and block them again. After doing this a few times, the calls stopped. I think they were robo calls; even though you can be on all the do-not-call lists, you can still get those calls.
I always ignore calls if I don't know who it is and let them go to voice mail. If your phone allows you to send contacts to voice mail, you could put the numbers in your phone and send them straight to voice mail.
I've had my number too long; I'll be danged if some marketer or prankster is gonna force me to change my number; I'd view that as a last resort, but that's just my opinion.

Address Book won't import local area code

I'm trying to export my contact info from Palm Desktop to Address Book. Everything works fine, expect that AB doesn't import a contact's area code if it's my local area's code. In this case AB only imports a contact's 7 digit phone number. This isn't a problem with area codes outside of my local code, --they import just fine, and I get the whole 10 digits.
I've tried exporting both vCards and text files. By opening the text file with TextEdit, I have verified that Palm Desktop is indeed exporting the area codes --both my local code and distant ones. Yet when I import that same file into AB, contacts in my local area are stripped of the area code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, --Brian

Thanks for your questions/suggestions. I think they have helped lead me in the right direction over the past 24 hours, though I still don't have a solution.
To make the long story short:
I believe the problem lies in the fact that as I've added contacts to Palm Desktop over the years, I've not included an area code if they were in my area. Now I'm switching to AB since it can sync with my new cell phone, and I'm needing area codes for all calls. Rather than enter my local code for hundreds of contacts, I've used a Palm preference whic sets up a "default area code."
What I have discovered is that contacts for which I have manually entered an area code transfer to AB just fine. Contacts for which this preference provides the area code lose this information in the transfer. This is baffling, because the two cases look identical when viewed with Textedit, --the area code is visible plain as day in either situation.
Just as puzzling --when AB imports a contact it gives a chance to review the information if the card is a duplicate. When I perform this review a "Text File Import" window appears. In this window areas codes always appear, --whether manually entered or provided by the Palm preference. However, in the "Reviewing Card" window which follows, cards which had Palm preference provided area codes have inexplicably lost those codes, while those with manually entered codes have retained them.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks some more, --Brian

Are phone numbers 10 digits or 11? Do I need to record a preceding 1 (when area code is diff than mine)?

When putting in new contacts, do I need to enter a "1" before the 10 digit phone number, or does iPhone know that a 1 needs to dialed before an area code?

No. Not in the US. I believe the last systems in the US that still require dialing a 1 are land lines, and I'm not even sure they "require" it any more. Lots of PBXs used in businesses still require them because no one has seen fit to update them.

Add 1 in front of area code

Is there a fast way to add the number one in front of all out going calls? and also when setting up the phone number in the contacts list?
My husband and I both have Iphones and I set up my phone numbers with the area code included. But recently when I called his phone , his phone never rang and went straight to voicemail. He did not receive the voicemail for more than an hour after I called him. If I had been in an emergency he would not have received the message.
We called our provider ATT which had this answer.....even though i had the area code included I should have had the number one in front of the area code and then the call would have gone through. ATT states that this is a "new regulation" that is going through the FCC.
If that is true then I think 99.9% of the population has not heard of it.
If that is true then why doesn't the newest phone - the Iphone 4S - have a capability to auto set the number one before dialing and auto set the fact that a phone number is required to have the area code with each phone number that is stored.
I look forward to any resolutions to my question. Otherwise it is another manual job of going thru each phone contact and adding the information "required" by the FCC.

Doesn't sound right to me. I don't have 1 in front of any of my contacts and they always go through. I would check with someone else at AT&T on that.
Edit: I'm also on AT&T

New City/Area Code??

I'm visiting another city and I can't figure out how to set up a local number to call so that I can access my Skype 2 Go. How do I do this?
There is a feature where I can change my current local area code, but I don't understand what it does, or if it's necessary when I'm temporarily away from my home city. Please help!

Why is it you want verizon to jump through hoops? The number you have will ring no matter where you are so a new number is not really necessary. You are not charged long distance and with today's phone service I doubt anyone else is either.
You just change your number if you desire, in the old land line days that phone forwarding message was useful but like everything today it has been discontinued its progress I guess.
Just remember your number was not transferred even in cases you moved across the street, today the number follows you all over the world. Progress?
Changing a number is also risky in that the last person who had it could of been doing something to break the law, or had bill collectors calling all night and day, or other annoyances. Keep the number you have and stay happy. That is my advice.
Good Luck

Pulling all Purchase Order documents that where changed in last hour.

What is the best method for pulling all purchase order documents that have changed in the last hour? We want to create this program and schedule it as a job that runs every hour.
In the backend our server stores all documents in GMT Time while our users have several time zones. What function or module should we call to get the current time.
Should we be using: sy-uzeit - 3600.
Or will this not produce the required results.

UCCX 7 outbound dialing, problem with area codes

Hello all,
I'm just testing the outbound dialing feature in a lab, and have run into the following problem:
I have following:
outbound configuration:
general:
Customer dialing time: start (9:00) end (21:00)
dialing prefix - 9
international prefix - 00
Local Area Code: 44
Area Codes:
44 -> Europe/London
34 -> Europe/Madrid
86 -> GMT-10 (for testing purposes, does not correspond to real China time).
Then, I upload a .CSV file into a campaign with the following information:
Jane,Smith,00447111113007
Jacky,Chan,0086611115002
Juan,Pablo,0034611114001
The dialing works, the agent receives the call, accepts it, and then the call is made.
if anyone is interested, although it has nothing to do with the question itself, the calls are translated to other extension on CUCM to be able to make a call.
The problem is that, they are all treated as in the same AREA CODE, although I have clearly defined area codes for each of those countries.
when the call appears it shows on the CAD as BAAreaCode: +00060
Therefore the calls are made through to China even when it's midnight there!!!???
I know I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what?
Many thanks for your help,
Cheers,

Hi Aaron,
Sorry for being so late to answer you. But I've done quite a few tests last weekend and have couple traces as well.
Apparently, the first time I added area codes, I did something incorrect, although I do not know what exactly, because now I've added area codes and it partially worked.
Area code: 4420 - Europe/London with Daylight saving
Area code: 3498 - Europe/Madrid with Daylight saving
Area code: 8661 - GMT/+7 NO Daylight saving
The first two Area codes (Spain and London) were correctly identified, In traces I could even see:
this one is for Spain:

Just found that someone has called a number with 317 area code numerous times and billed to my number. How can this happen??

Was wondering what was going with my time that I purchased and checked my usage and found over several months someone has been calling a number in 317 area code and was being billed to my number

Every time I make a call it is announced how many minutes remains, I could not believe I was using this many minutes. I checked my usage and found that there were numerous (10's if not 100') calls made to a phone in the 317 area code, using up the most of my minutes over the last several months.
I don't know any one in this area, (I looked it up online and if I remember correctly, it is in Indiana)
I will be glad to send you a copy of my usage. I work for myself, it will be afterwhile when I can get back with you.
Thanks so much for helping me

421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour

Hi, we are in a migration process from a Kerio system to Exchange 2013.
Everything is working fine, except that we have been experiencing this error on the logs and the Exchange 2013 users are getting returned emails.
The remote server is 10.10.10.85
Remote Server at 10.10.10.85 (10.10.10.85) returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
19/12/13 7:21:57 p. m. - Remote Server at 10.10.10.85 (10.10.10.85) returned '451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: "421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour." Attempted failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed.
Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 10.10.10.85:25'
My question is, is Exchange rejecting the messages or is the other system telling Exchange to slow things a bit?

To update this.
We found out that the other email system was configured NOT to accept more than 100 messages per hour from same sending IP.
Once we removed the configuration value from the other email system, all started working.

Blocking calls from an entire exchange or area code

I know that it is possible to block a specific number on the iPhone, but a lot of telemarketers these days use many different numbers from the same exchange. When I block one number they simply call me from another one using the same exchange with a different last 4 digits. On my Ooma phone service that I use for my land line I can block an unwanted exchange by entering the number on my blocked caller list using the area code, the 3 digit exchange and then ****. Does anyone know if this works on the iPhone?

Sorry , but no. The best you can do it talk to your carrier to see if they can put the block on the calls.

Alternate Area Code

Does anyone have any information on what AT&T uses to decide which area code your phone will be assigned to? I'm guessing it's the Zip Code, because I've seen some other posts in regard to this but I just wanted to make sure- my situation:
I'm a Naval Officer transferring from an overseas location next week. I've ordered my iPhone online to be shipped to my parents house. My iTunes account and credit card billing address are in Hawaii, (which is my next duty station) but the billing phone number for my iTunes account is an east coast number- courtesy of Vonage. When I activate my iPhone, does anyone know how I can make sure that I get a Hawaii number and not an east coast number? When I called Apple this week, they hadn't even considered this yet, so I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this. Thanks in advance-

I think it's a simple solution really. Just move your billing address. Like they say at Apple... "Think Different." This is of course, predicated on my original question above- that they use your billing zip code to determine your area code- i.e. those folks in NYC that just got a new zip code last week or so, and have had problems getting their iPhones activated. If they use your zip-code, then just move your credit card you want to use for the iPhone to Florida, get your phone and your Florida area code, and wa-la... be the first person in PR to own an iPhone... this of course is also predicated on the fact that AT&T operates the EDGE network in the Rich Port... which if they indicate coverage on their website- I'm reasonably confident they would.
Make sense? Again, you'd have to do two things- contact your credit card company- change the billing address to a mail forwarder (probably your brother in your case- and heck- most credit card companies don't even mail you anything these days anyway- everything can be done online) and then change your account address in iTunes to reflect this address. Order a phone- you can have it shipped wherever you want- (i.e. your house in PR) and then when it comes time to activate- your billing issue/area code issue is solved. Just something to think about- I think it's a creative work-around given your situation. A small gamble, but worth a try if you really want to get one Heck- I'm in Japan and I ordered one with three different mailing addresses- one for shipping, one for billing for the phone purchase, and well, a separate one for billing for the phone billing... just my humble opinion...

Iphone, area code, moving to another area code ( lol @ topic title)

I'm really close to getting an iphone 3gs, but I just have some last questions before I go ahead with the purchase. Bare with me if I don't know what I am trying to ask because I'm confuse myself, so pardon my nubness **** I don't even know how to make the topic title for this topic lol.
I currently live in a city in California who's name will be kept anonymous. I don't know if I plan on staying here for another year. I've been planning on moving to another area in California, either the bay area or maybe southern california or perhaps New York next year, who knows. I have a cellphone number but its under my parents' family plan, so I'm not really paying for anything. I'm thinking of getting an iphone and get a new cell phone number as well to go with it.
My question is basically regarding the cellphone number. My friend said not to get the iphone because if I do move to lets say to those said places above, my area code for the cellphone will be different and if people call me, I will get charged and they will get charged long distance or what not. That's what my friend said. Does that make sense? Can somebody please clarify/explain to me what happens if I move to another city with a different area code and whatnot? What kind of charges I will incur as a result.

You can always change you cell phone number.
If you move to another place you can change you phone number or not, your choice.
I have never been charged for changing a phone number.

Buying in a different area code

can i purchase an iphone in a different area code?
im only an hour from where i live but the area code is different, thanks

You can buy the iPhone anywhere. When you activate it, you will fill out all the information for area code and such on your computer.
I bought mine in NYC and activated it in NYC, but I live in SE Michigan. I was, however, already an ATT/Cingular customer.
