Huge phone bill for one call!

Hi there,
I am writing on behalf of my neighbour, who is having an issue with a recent (talktalk) phone bill.
The last phone bill that came through showed up as charging around £80 for a single call, which had apparently lasted hours. I suspect that the problem is that the phone reciever (his end) was not properly replaced, even though the reciever at the other end was.
Does anybody have any advice for disputing this charge? Is there any way of proving that the person at the other end had put the phone down?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. Your neighbour might get more assistance in the TALK TALK forums. I do remember that they used to put a sqeal on the line if you did not hang up properly, don't know whether they still do this.

HT201232 I have called the support number given, was on hold for more than an hour and received quite unpleasant phone bill for trying to sort out AppStore mistake! Is there any other options of getting "support" apart from calling these telephone numbers

My account was charged for buying app that I actually didn't buy. I was trying to sort out these mistake by calling the support number given (Russia). There was no other options like sending an email or calling some other number. I was on hold for one hour and a half! Is that normal for Apple support??? So apart from being charged for the app I haven't given my permission to buy, I also got a phone bill for calling the only support number available. Where can I submit my complain and what could be done about it?
Thank you,
Natalia

There is an email way to do this. See here: https://getsupport.apple.com/ContactInfo.action
The Russian Federation is one of the countries listed under Other.

Charged international phone usage for Whatsapp calls

I have consistently used Whatsapp for years and love it. However, something very odd has happened in the last two months and I got a  call from my provider (Verizon) saying there have been an unusually high  frequency of international calls made by my phone and I had racked up $1200  in charges. I figured it was fraud but then checked my usage online and all calls  (to two regular numbers I call in Europe) show up as regular  international calls. This began at the beginning of September (2014) and I  can't understand what is happening. The rate for these calls is about $1.29/min.
I live in the US and have many contacts in Europe, so like many other people, I have great use for Whatsapp. I was  especially excited back in the spring of this year when they announced free  calling, and I used it a lot. It doesn't make sense to me why I was  successfully making calls for free for the first few months, and then all  of a sudden in September, they've been going out as if I was calling  internationally through my carrier. There was no mistake on my part as I haven't changed any of my methods since the beginning of using Whatsapp calling.
Has anybody else had this experience? Is there some setting that got switched in a new iOS update that makes their calls just run normally? (I know, highly unlikely but I don't know what else could have happened).
Thank you very much for any help!

I sent an email to whatsup. They told me the call icon is only for convinience but that this app is for texting only. I replied to their email asking gor assistance With the phone bill but they never replied. AT&T is my cell provider so I contacted them. They helped me by adding retroactively an international plan that cost $30.00 so Inwould not have to pay for the full bill. I now have terminated that additional service just did it for a month. AT&T explained to me whatsup is causibg a lot of problems by not explaining this feature up front. I am do glad I have AT&T since it is one of the few american companies that still lrovide awesome chstomer service. Goid luck to you if you have a different cell provider. I have dince deleted shatsup which is own by Facebook they have no accountability!!!!

Credit Reporting....Separte bills for one account?

I have been contacted by multiple collection agencies regarding a $27 dollar verizon charge that I have no previous record of. I recieved the first collection notice in May 2011 (Recievables Performance Management, LLC). The account number in question did not match my Verizon account so I requested debt validation from the agency (certified letter) and email and never recieved a response. I also contacted Verizon customer service at this same time asking for validation and the rep informed me that once the account is sent to collections, I would have to work through them for validation. The agency then sold the account to another agency (CBE Group) in June of 2011. I again said that the account number did not match my verizon number (the last number in the account was different) and formally requested data validation via certified mail and email and no response was given. I contacted CBE to follow-up on this and they now deny having any record of this collection in their system.
I am attempting to purchase a home and this issue is appearing on my credit report and severly damaging my score. I spoke to a verizon rept last night and she indicated that this $27 charge was a balance transfer from my intial activiation and that the different account numbers were actually the same account and the different numbers at the end represented different levels of the one account. She said this numbering of accounts should have been apparent to me and that the differnt numbers should not have been a concern. She said bills for the $27 were sent to me but when she listed the address it was a very old address. She said I should have updated my address. However, I did update my address as evidenced by the fact that my regular monthly bills for my service charges were being sent to the correct address. She also asked why I didn't pay the bill the first time I contacted Verizon in May--I was never given the option.   (As an aside, after I expressed sincere concern and extreme frustration about my ability to purchase my first home due to Verizon's billing practices, she asked me if I was interested in adding any additional lines or services, which I found a bit disturbing and contrary to common sense given the context of my call.)
If this is one account why did the $27 never show up on my regular bill or on my account when I accessed it online? If I have one account, why was I billed for different charges to different addresses?   I was paying my regular verizon bill each month, so how could I have known there was a separate bill going to an old address? When I activated my new phone I did it at the verizon store and the representative indicated that I had paid in full but this $27 dollar fee shows up months later via collections?
Out of frustration, I paid the $27 balance to Verizon yesterday to have the debt pulled back from collections and to change the status on my credit report to paid-- mortgages will not be processed within open disputes.   However, Verizon refuses to remove a credit entry once it is made.   I can't believe Verizon is willing to destroy my credit and my ability to secure a mortgage over this issue. I also am frustrated that Verizon says I have one account with them but when it comes to billing I miraculously have 2.   I have had no luck with Verizon customer service or contacting them via email so I am putting this here.   This has been the absolute worst experience with a company I have ever had....I want to terminate my contract but am afraid of what kind of unfair billing from Verizon would be next.

High phone bill usage = spam calls?

Seem to have expensive phone bills each month, at least higher than i would expect.
When I queried this BT tell me I'm connecting to peoples phones who are not picking up BUT I get spam calls most other days where in I answer the phone but no one answers.
Are many other people getting similar happenings?
I'm thinking its possibly a screw over and I'm getting charged.
Ive started to log the dates and times so IF I can ever get through to BT I can go through the call costs.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
You should not be charged for any incoming calls.
I'd suggest that you get a handset that has a Caller Display. Thses calls are a pest, and we are all plagued by them.
There is a BT phone that has a Call Blocker facility which intercepts the calls before you have to answer. The BT 8500 and similar kit prevents intrusion to you, I'd look around and begin to buy the right kit.
If in doubt, dont pick up. Or, tell them that you are in Madegascar.....................

The lock button on my iphone 5 is broken and I want to replace it at an apple store but I haven't paid my phone bill for AT&T so my phone has no service. Can i still replace my iPhone 5 whether or not i have to activate my phone with AT&T? Help please

Earlier i meantioned that my lock screen was broken. That was a mistake its my lock button i apologize. But do i still have to pay for my phone bill and activate my AT&T account in order to replace my iPhone 5 at an apple store?? Or not because of the one-year warranty??

The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

When will I be billed for engineer call out??

Hi, I called out an engineer for a fault after I had water damage to my house from burst pipes (turns out one of the sockets had water damage). My insurance will pay for this call out and repair as part of my claim, but I haven't had a bill for it yet and it's been week, and the insurance are waiting for it. When will I get billed?
Thanks
VictoriaA

In my experience, call out charges are usually added to your next bill! Contact BT 150 from your landline, and they will be able to tell you when your next bill is due, and also whether or not the call out charges will be added.

UCCX - Can I get a report on hold time for one call

Thanks,

Hi, it's probably the Agent Detail report you are looking for.
Also, take a look at the reporting guide for UCCX 8.5.

Two billing for one sales order for same customer

Dear All ,
I have a requirement of posting a two billings for one sales order.
One is for Sales and another is for commission...
Entry could be
Sales Entry - Db Customer
Cr Sales
Commission entry could be
Db - Cusomter
Cr- Sales commission income account (P/L)
We are having third party sales scenario , In this case billing is MIRO dependent.
Once the miro is done then only billing is possible ...
Could you please advise on that ..
Regards,
Sukh

Dear Ratish,
Thanks for yr reply.
I already did that but it is not serving business purpose.
Comm payment - comes diff time than sales payment.
so ,I will post one entry customer will get hit with total amount Sales + commission
like below
Let say 10, 000 is the sales value and 500 is the commission
So , This entry will get posted
Customer Db- 10,500
Sales Cr- 10,000
Comm Income Cr- 500
But, As I said sales amt will be paid before so We need to clear it partially and some time customer pays also diff amount due to some defect.
So, We wont be knowing for which case we have or havnet received the payment against commission.
As , Customer account is got hit with total amount( Sales+ Comm..value).
Pls advise how to solve this.
Regards,
Sukh

Hi tinkerbell2012 and welcome
No, you don't have to pay the previous occupiers bill.
Either call BT on 0800800150 (or just 150 from a BT landline) or use live chat http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact/c/2902/?s_intcid=con_intban_sanda_contact_us_chat_from_forums
Tell them when you moved in and that you would like to negotiate a good price for BT to provide a landline and a BB connection.

BB Talk - being billed for free calls - anyone els...

Well, where to start
Last month I was billed for a BBT call that should of been free. It was only 23p, but it's my money and not BT's. Called and used live chat - all sorted
Checked my usage for this month - BILLED AGAIN for free BBT calls.
Called BT this morning and got through to a guy whom didn't have a clue, that insisted that I was credited over £15 for my incorrectly charged BBT call last time - erm that'll be the 23p then, plus couldn't grasp what I was saying, then transferred me to the customer options team - erm even the guy on this team had no idea why billing would transfer me to them as they couldn't access the account from their system. We agreed to end the call there as we'd both of been wasting our time
The online usage doesn't tally either. It states 14 calls made and the recent usage (graph page) clearly shows only 9 calls were made.
But the page that gives the breakdown of the numbers called FAILS to load every time. Live chat have told me that ALL BT customers are affected and nobody can see their actual breakdown for their BBT account. I've copied and saved the conversation.
I have it in writing that my bill will be amended to reflect this error
So check your usage and your bill. Then please let me know if you too are being billed incorrectly and can you access the recent calls page for your BBT number
Thanks

Thanks for replying hayling12.
The bit I should of added was "All the customer of BT is facing same problem and it will be fixed within 5 working days no worries"
(my bold and no that's how it was written)
So is it a big problem? And are others being billed incorrectly?

How do I get rid of the number next to the "phone" icon for missed calls on iPhone 4?

I realize that this number is telling me the number of missed calls and/or voicemails. However, the number remains on the main screen after I have looked at the missed call (opened "phone" and then "missed"). I can only figure out how to get it to go away when I call the number of the missed call from the missed call menu, which I don't always want to do. How can I make the number go away without calling the number for the call that I missed? It's probably a silly question but thanks for helping!

I have same issue I dont want to call it and why should I have to go to Voicemail when there is no voicemail?? My screen did go dark and when I relit it it went away...very weird???

FTE and volume based billing for a call center operations

hi,
we have a call center handling operations only for intercompany customers (means no external customers). And we want to go for a solution based on two business processes. first one is FTE (Full time equivalent) and the second is volume based billing (based on how many tickets received between a time period).
The solution approach will be to create cost centers to track costs and billing through normal SAP sales order.
Can anybody guide me through the process here with some explanation or documentation related to this?
Thank you all

hi,
this is to inform you that,
create a master contract - 1st step.
create a value and a service contract - 2nd step.
link this two low level contracts to master contracts.
different pricing procedures will be there for value and service contracts each.
the process flow of this is :
1. for value contract : MASTER CONTRACT - SALES ORDER - DELIVERY - BILLING.
2. for service contract : MASTER CONTRACT - SALES ORDER - BILLING.
hope this clears your issue.
please let me know if you have any doubts on the same.
