Fist day with BT. First Fault with the phone. Un...

So, I moved my phone and broadband from Sky and today took BT Infinity 2 and phone from BT.  Notificatoins right from ordering up until today have been excellent - BT really have that down to a tee -it's great to be informed at each step of the ordering process.
Activation date was today and all is working well.
Well, that is except for the phone, which can dial out, and you can call in, but if you do, we get a long constant ring instead of alternate rings.  It just doesn't stop.  Until I pick up the phone.
I plugged the phone directly into the test socket.  Same issue.
I tried the online check.  No problem with the line.
I called and they checked.  No problem with the line.
I then spoke to someone on the helpdesk who was even less help than a chocolate teapot.  He tried to tell me that it was something to do with my sync speed and it will all be sorted by the 10th!
What's sync speed got to do with my phone ringing funny?
Another 10 minutes of bull**** and I eventually hang up.  Some things just never change.  I remember the BT Call Centre being like this years ago.
Now, I still have the issue.  So, some questions:
- Even though all my order says completed, could it be that I need to wait until tomorrow for this to work properly?
- I can no longer see when I have a missed call.  Previously, the phone would give me the missed call icon. Worked this morning when I was on Sky.  Now, nothing.  Could that be a setup thing, too?
Not related to the phone, but still frustrating is the fact that I've registered 3 iPhones for BT SmartTalk.  They all have different numbers (obviously!), yet when I register them, they are all registered against the first number that I registered.  Is that right?  Surely not.
Now don't even get me started about having to pay for caller display and basic 1571...
For now, though, can anyone shed any light on the endless ringing issue and the SmartTalk issue?
Thanks.
Solved!

    Hi mylenebar!
    Here is an article that will help you remove the desired photos from your phone:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • HT201328 Can i upgrade my iphone 4 unlocked from ATNT and currently on iOS 5.1.1 to latest iOS 6 coming with iphone 5 without locking the phone again.

    Can i upgrade my iphone 4 unlocked from ATNT and currently on iOS 5.1.1 to latest iOS 6 coming with iphone 5 without locking the phone again.

    If it was officially unlocked by AT&T, it will remain unlocked during an upgrade of the iOS. If it was hacked to provide unlocking, it will most likely lock to the original carrier.

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • HT1688 I have an Iphone 3gs. When I go to Settings, then General, then Cellular, only Cellular Data and Enable 3G appear. There is no "Roaming"option to turn on or off. When I first started using the phone there was and I turned it off. What can I do?

    I have an I phone 3gs. When I go to Settings, then General, then Cellular, only Cellular Data and Enable 3G appear. There is no Roaming"" option to turn on or off. When I first started using the phone it was there, and  I turned it off. Why is it no longer there? What can I do to get it back? I am being charged roaming charges!!

    My iphone 4s has the Cellular Data and Data Roaming but does NOT have the option of ROAMING Voice&Data.  Do you know how to enable it?

  • Hi, I was given an iphone 3gs. Upon trying to sync with itunes I discovered that the phone has actually been jailbroken. I cannot get my iphone to work at all now. Does anyone know what to do?

    The phone has given me a 1015 error - unknown error has occured, during the firmwre comfirmation.
    We have tired the tricks with holding the home button down for 10 secs etc, we have tried installing a number of different versions of itunes, but no joy.
    We did do a backup of the phone before trying to sync it but can't re-install that either.
    I have been told the only way to get the phone functional again is to re-jailbreak it, do a back up of that and try to udpate back to the apple IOS from there but the phone is not responding.
    It turns on, and is in emergancy mode only, wehn I put hte sim in it's not recognising it, all it wants is to connect to itunes, which it wont do when you try.
    I don't know what to do try next, at a dead end here.
    I don't want a jail broken phone, I just want it to function like its meant to but at this stage I will settle for a phone that works at all.
    Any suggestions,,,,,,,,, anyone??
    Thanks for reading and considering my problem.

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • HT1688 Having trouble unlocking my iPhone 4S with my security code. The phone locks up mid way. Have to hard boot to restart phone. Anyone else experience this. Phone was updated to iOS 7.0.2.

    Updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now I'm experience a lock up when plugging in my security code. I type the first 2 numbers and a freeze happens. The phone won't accept anything further. I have to hard boot the phone to restart. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Generally, when going out of the country and using a foreign SIM, carrier files can be changed. Go to Settings>General>About>and look at Carrier? What does it say? You may have to perform a restore. You can try a restore from a backup, that would reinstall the iOS, and would provide the latest AT&T carrier file as well. See if this will fix the problem.

  • Will heating with a hair dryer harm the phone?

    i followed some online advised to heat the phone to make the screen protector more adhesive. I heated the top left corner of the phone for 3 times, less than 10 seconds each time. The method didn't work...maybe the hearing time is too short maybe it is a tempered glass screen protector. I realized the phone got really hot during the heating and got a bit scared...though I didn't get any temperature warning screen.
    Just windering ring would the screen and metallic chassis be able to shield this heat from its internal components?  Would it harm the screen?
    Nevertheless, the phone sometimes just as hot when I play games or using 4G for a prolonged period of time...

    I don't think heating the phone for any reason is a good idea. Time will tell if any damage was done.

  • How do I get in touch with a real person on the phone?

    I need to talk to someone at ADOBE on the phone.
    I can't open a downloaded ebook in digital editions. It is in my "download" folder as an acsm file but when I go to open it digital editions says "cannot connect to the fulfillment server".
    I have tried "unblocking" the file, turning my antivirus and firewall off, I can't control, shift + U to change or reset authentication.
    I would very much like to talk to someone.

    There is no phone support for itunes.
    "Real" people answer the e-mail and express lane inquiries.

  • Can u back up iTunes using some one else's iphone with there information still in the phone without getting erased?

    my husband accidently washed his iphone4. His friend lent my husband his iphone4 so he can retrieve his contacts and photo's and also back them up on icloud cos it wasn't turned on. When my husband put his sim card into his friend's phone and turned it on, all his friend's info is on the phone. Would my husband be able to connect to itunes without his friend loosing all is stuff on his iphone? My husband is using a different phone and would like to get his contacts back.
    Thanks

    A SIM card stores no personal data, it is merely account information for connecting to the carrier network.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  If the user has failed to do this and the phone will not boot, the data is lost.

  • How can I possibly get a hold with an actual person on the phone??? It's emergency!!!!!!

    Hello,
    I have been trying to talk to someone at the customer service for the last 3 months but no one never ever picked up my phone!!!
    How can this even possible?
    I've been using verizon for the last 4 years!!!
    I just moved out from the State and need to cancel my contract. That's why I've been trying so hard to talk to someone at the customer service.
    I went to a local store but they all told me that I need to call *611 (which no one ever answers... ) to cancel my contract.
    Why can't you guys just make this all easy and let local store do this job? It's such an easy job to cancel the contract and let me pay for the remaining fee.
    I wanted to cancel the contract since last MAY but unfortunately, I could not cancel it still and had to pay for my balance for nothing. It's not just couple cents. It was way over $100.
    I am getting really frustrated! LiveChat function never works too. It's never on even during working hour. What happened?
    Customer pays pretty high for Verizon's service compare to other mobile carriers. I should get a better customer service.
    Can someone PLEASE contact me and solve this problem before I get to the point where I need to pay EXTRA???
    Please email me (reply me back to my email please) and let me know what I can do and how I can talk to a real person at the customer service.
    Thank you for your time and help.
    Have a wonderful day.

    You have two ways to do this.
    Bring a copy of your last bill with your account number to a Verizon wireless corporate store (not a reseller )
    Tell them to close your account and get a copy of the transaction.
    However if done this way, you lose your cell number and access to the online portal. Verizon will mail you a final invoice.
    Or if you want service from AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile they need your cell number, the pin number for your account and your account number from your invoice. They will port you over to their service, you keep the cell number and Verizon will send you a final invoice.
    This porting process can be done for prepaid services if that is what you want to do.
    You can call 1-800-922-0204 press option 4 then keep saying agent.
    And you can cancel that way.
    Good Luck
