How Telemarketers can avoid call blocks

My friend got a voicemail from a number which she had already blocked. It was a scammy telemarketer and she asked me to figure out how they did it. I had her block me and then found out that sure enough I could sent her a voicemail from my blocked number. I initiated a chat session with support to find out what could be done to block this and was told that she should call the "Unlawful Call Center". She did and for telemarketing calls she was given the option to put her number on the national do not call list! For "harassment" calls she was told to file a POLICE REPORT and call back with the report number. Needless to say she doesn't want to file a police report for every scumbag telemarketer that figures out how to send voicemails to customers who have blocked their numbers. And it's easy enough to do that I expect they all will start doing it sooner or later. Any suggestions?

You (she) might take a look at a FREE service called NOMOROBO (http://www.nomorobo.com/). It does require that the user's phone has a feature called Simultaneous Ring, which Verizon's Digital Voice does have. What happens is that when your phone rings, it rings at your house and at their datacenter at the same time, they take a quick look at where the call is coming from, and if the number is in their database as a robocaller, they just hang up, so the call is immediately disconnected. So your phone rings once, nothing more, and I don't see any way they could get access to voicemail with it working that way (but I don't use voicemail so I can't say this for sure).
I have been using NOMOROBO almost since it started, I love it. I still have the one ring, and the call still shows up on caller id on my phone, My Verizon, and the TV, but it is amazing how many calls it will intercept, with no enless ringing. As I said, it is a free service, very easy to sign up for, and if you don't like it or it doesn't work for you, it is easy to turn off.
Hope this helps.

OutOfMemory??? With an huge array how I can avoid it??

In runtime i got the OutOfMemoryError (or exception... I don't remember) when bulding an huge array... So i would like to know which dimension has usually the heap memory, if it depends from the machine you're using, and how i can avoid that error, without creating a List...
I need the array to create a simple program for school wich will split a file in n parts, so I need to use an array of bytesn but if the file bigger than about 50mb it appears the OutOfMemory above...
Any suggestions accepted (you'll see i'm a newbie), Thanks

Hi all,
Some misunderstanded the fact. Here is some points about that: http://in.news.yahoo.com/two-thirds-apps-apple-store-never-downloaded-zombies-05 4843596.html
I guess I'm not sure of the point of the article either. I would imagine this applies to almost all software ever released for any platform. The considerable majority get little use or attention, and are short lived. Only a relatively few meet some major common need amongst a large number users.
How many people install and regularly use MS Office or Adobe Reader to their home computer, relative to say something like any one of the multitude of ftp clients that exist or have existed over the years (since most peoples ftp use will be via a web interface, not a standalone client)?
Most software either gains no traction due to alternative competitive apps, or is targeted at a niche market of relatively few users.
Just the nature of the market - it's very tough to come up with a real breakthrough application that nearly everyone will want or regularly use, or that will do so for a very long time. Even big hits like many games peak quickly and then fade off into history, even though still available.

HT4061 My iphone 4S was lost. How I can remove or block my iphone on distance?

My iphone was lost. How I can remove information from my iphone 4S on distance or block?

If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it, lock it, send a message, make a noise, or erase it. If not, you cannot do any of these.
If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Please can anyone advise how I can avoid having to keep putting in my password

I use Thunderbird on my computer at home and use it for my Yahoo! emails. There is only me using this computer. When using Thunderbird I am frequently prompted to input my password. This is a bit irritating. Can anyone please advise how I can use Thunderbird on my home computer without having to put my password in. Thank you.,

The password request dialog window has a check box to have Thunderbird remember the password. Use that.

I need to take a lot of notes in my daily customer/sales meetings. The very reason for buying an ipad is to try how I can avoid taking notes and then again typing them in emails etc. What are the market leading apps which can help me to avoid this?

Are there any apps which helps resolving this? Say as for example it can turn my wiriting to some ascii text and then it becomes highly reusable.
Advanced features can be that it understands drawings and convert them into separate jpegs which can be reused as well
I need some suggestions. I think sales perople who use ipad a lot can give really good avice

Hi AReyes42,
Given you had just purchased this phone 20 days before it became defective, I of course can understand you being upset by the described experience. I honestly wish the representatives you spoke to had been clearer in their advice to you.
Our return or exchange period for contract based phones is 14 days from the date of purchase. After that timeframe has past any defects or damage would need to be addressed by any coverage on the phone. Your phone has two types of coverage. It has its manufacturer’s warranty and the Geek Squad Protection (GSP) plan.
The manufacturer’s warranty should cover any defects within the first year of owning the phone; while your GSP would cover beyond that time, and any covered damage within the first year. Since you are claiming the unit is defective it should be covered by LG’s warranty, and you will need to work with them to get the phone repaired or replaced.
We could request a refurbished replacement under your GSP, but per the terms of your GSP you would be charged a service fee, and for a smartphone the service fee is $150. Since LG should not be charging to repair or replace your phone, under their warranty, I once again highly recommend you work with them towards getting this resolved.
I have filed a formal complaint on your behalf, and if you do have any questions for me please post back to this thread.
Thanks for posting,

How i can make caller photo full screen i have iphone 5s ios 7.1.2?

Sorry, there is no way to have a full screen caller ID on iOS 7.1.2.

How do I avoid certificates blocking my brokerage/banking website reports?

I am unable to open tax statements in my Merrill Lynch/Bank of America brokerage account, but I am able to open the website and other statements in it. The green bar that includes the bank/brogerage name has a lock on it and when I open the bar it tells me that there is a Verisign Certificate that protects my privacy. That may be true, but it also is stopping me from opening and printing the tax statements in order to complete my tax returns. This is a very recent problem. I have owned the MacBook Air for over 2 years and until recently had never experienced this problem.
Any advice out there in Apple Support Land that does not require a software technician to apply?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

FIOS call blocking won't block

I am getting a call from a phone-spammer. The number displays, so I added it to my call blocking list. The number is still ringing through. I then tried doing a selective call forward, sending the calls back to the number. No good.
This spammer must have some magic to avoid call blocking. Any ideas how I can fix this? I wrote to Verizon support but never got a response.

important tips
• Call Block is limited to either 6 or 12 numbers, depending on your region.
• This service cannot block cell phone numbers, some business numbers or calls from pay phones.
• Any calls made from outside your defined calling area or through the operator may not be blocked. This is for your protection in case of an emergency.
the only way I know of to 100% block without those limitations is with buying hardware at www.privacycorps.com it's called caller id manager I Don't know anyone that has purchased it, one user here did and he never came back to tell us it worked. so I can't 100% vouch for it, you may want to look up user reviews on it before making a purchase, but that is the only thing that I have seen that "says" it can do it

How to query two data blocks simultaneously?

Dear all,
Need your inputs on the following problem statement...
Existing Functionality:
We have two data blocks A (Parent) and B (Child) in a relationship. Both data blocks refer to different tables.
Data block A is the query data block and for a single record in block A we can have multiple records in block B. Multiple records in block B are shown one at a time after executing a query, this is implemented by using a list item C (belongs to a third block).
For example
Let us say block B can have 5 different types of entries for each record in block A. In this case the list item C will have 5 values corresponding to these entries. Once the query is executed, block B will show the default entry for the queried record in block A. To see other entries for the record user can select the required value in list item C and corresponding entry in block B will be fetched.
Requirement:
Our requirement now is to enable querying upon both data blocks A and B simultaneously. To implement this I replaced data blocks A and B with a single data block X which is based on the join of the two tables referred by the Data blocks A and B earlier. As the fields should allow insert, update, delete operations we did not use a view here.
Issue:
Now the problem is, each record in block A for which block B had multiple entries earlier is now getting listed multiple times because of the join.
I have tried but could not find any solution for this. I would appreciate if any of you can suggest how we can query both blocks simultaneously without affecting the existing functionality.
Thanks,
Amit

I don't understand your requirement in detail. I try to repeat what i understood so far.
You have a master-block A based on a table A and a detail-block B based on a table B. So far so good. You can now query based on conditions just the datablock A, because B is a detail and therefore can only be queryied in context of block A.
Your reuirement is to query on both blocks A and B and find block in B also without giving conditions for the relevant block A.
Is it that ?
What i don't understand, what is block C used for?
An idea for the querying of block B's data: Create Non-database-items items in block A for the search-criteria you need on block B and make them Queryable.
In the PRE-QUERY-trigger on block A build a WHERE-condition if that search-criteria is entered, something like
IF :BLOCK_A.SEARCH_CRITERIA_FOR_BLOCK_B IS NOT NULL THEN
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_A', ONETIME_WHERE, 'WHERE PKVALUE IN (SELECT FKVALUE_TO_A FROM TABLE_B WHERE FIELDVALUE=' ||:BLOCK_A.SEARCH_CRITERIA_FOR_BLOCK_B)');
END IF;This would query also records to A for which you want to have the B-records. So you could keep block-structure up to master-detail.

Using the "Apply Call Blocking Percentage" parameter

Hi Guys, what I need to do is to limit the number of calls going to a particular route pattern during heavy load. So I'd like to see an upper and lower threshold limit on a route pattern where it would start to deny traffic as a %age to a particular route point/route pattern if the upper limit is met over a certain time period. Is this possible? How does the "Apply Call Blocking Percentage" feature when to start blocking calls and is it all the time whatever the traffic load?
Thanks

How Can I Get All The Telemarketers To Stop Calling And Texting My Cellphone?

My number is on the Do Not Call List, has been since its inception. I file complaints, and it seems I get more calls after I file a complaint. Right now there are 8 different numbers that call constantly, selling a Home Security system and it is a recording that just won't stop. I filled out the call block on my account, but it is only for 5 numbers and 90 days. Then I fill it out again, but the spammers are more than 5 numbers. I assigned the numbers no ring, but it is still annoying that I have to do anything.
Here are the numbers:
603-214-3679
510-336-2356
641-336-2567
330-789-5231
603-214-3696
302-394-6888
406-530-5038
701-625-5002
Isn't there anything Verizon can do to stop these calls?

Add each number to your contacts and forward them to voicemail.
They are in my contacts, how do I forward them to voicemail? Thanks.
I have had the number for 8 years now, these calls are from different numbers but same spammer. A Google search shows they bother a lot of people with same recorded message, "The FBI has been reporting a large number of break ins in your area and you are eligible for a free home security system..."
