International calls between 2 blackberries no trough carrier

Hi,
My spouse is traveling from the US to Europe.
Both of us have BB Curve 8320 with T-mobile as carrier.
Even with the international plan the cost of calling will be high (approx $1.5 per min).
However email and IM are free.
Is there a way for us to talk (not IM chatting) for free or for minimal cost?
How do we make sure that the call are being made are not charged by T-mobile?
Thanks,
T

Hi
There are services available which might achieve your aim. I found the following by Googling "free mobile calls to US." I can't make a specific recommendation but you should be able to find something that suits you.
In this example, the quoted cost is £0.01 per minute http://tinyurl.com/6hd2hzt

2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime: ON?
ou can be reached by FaceTime at: your phone number?
If all the above are correct, see below:
FaceTime is available with iPhone 4 or latter, except those iPhones that were sold in the Middle East.
Can you tell us which iPhone model that has no FaceTime?

All six Uk carriers carry the iPhone officially and micro sims are very common therefore
PAYG is very common in UK every carrier offers a number of packages but all commitment free

I am not able to make International calls from iPhone 5s

I got this new iphone 5s as a gift a week days ago, and It was working all great for 2-3 days. But from last 4days i AM not able to make international calls
Whenever I dial, I can't hear any ring going on and all I can hear is my own voice reverting back to me. Moreoever I am being charged for every call I make. I tried restarting my device, Also by connecting to itunes to find if any Update is needed but it says my iOS7 is recent no updates needed.
Urgent help needed
Thanks in advance.

A call is a call so far as the phone is concerned. Internation or across the street, it doesn't diferentiate between them.
Contact your carrier.

I changed my data plan from 6g to 8g while my daughter who attends college outside of the US at Toronto Canada (and we have on a international calling and international data plan) was on spring break at her grandparents house here in the US. I made the change online since I had been waiting on the phone for over 10 minutes for a customer service rep to come available. Well when I made the change online since that seems to be the thing that Verizon wants it's customers to do and I didn't see all the different plans available and just did the upgrade to 8g. Next bill had over $900 in roaming charges on her phone line. I called the 1-800 number and waiting for a service rep and after 20 minutes of waiting and being put on hold was told it was the customers mistake and there was nothing they could do.Thanks for nothing. I called back after thinking about it and wondered why changing a data plan for the phones in the US would change a international call plan. Waiting over 10 minutes again between waiting for a service rep and hold for one to answer the call. Gave her all the information about it and she said she would call back. Well, 4 days later over the weekend she had nevered called back. So on the phone again for the third time and after 20 plus minutes again was told that when I did it online I click the plan that didn't include international call only the data plan. Explained that I never saw the difference in the plan packages so put on hold again and was told that they could credit $100 to my bill. Wow, thanks alot !!! We have been Verizon customers for probably atleast 12 years and this is how you treat your long term customers?

International calls and texting sept2012

is it just me or didnt verizon used to have an option where you could block international calling?? i could've sworn they did! i have 2 adtnl lines, i remember one of them was blocked! now they can text from them. did they take that option off all together?? so many things have changed i dont even know anymore? does anyone know? please let me know, thoughts or comments?

By international do you mean Canada?
I know that international text CANNOT be blocked unless you block just a few numbers or block ALL messaging. Verizon can EASILY put a system in place to do this, but this is Verizon's (as well as other major carriers) illegal revenue stream so you will have to deal with it.
For int'l calling, typically calls to Canada (long distance) CANNOT be blocked - another illegal revenue stream for Verizon (like 411 directory calls), so the only option you have is to block individual numbers or just don't make calls to Canada.

Why is FaceTime so poor on international calls?

Why is FaceTime so poor on international calls? I continue getting "poor connections..."

The distance between the two devices does not really matter. The thing that matters is the quality of the internet connections on both ends of the conversation. Either one or the other devices is experiencing connection and/or bandwidth issues. Double-check the connection and speed for each device before establishing the connection.

Problems with the Internal Calls in SPA8000

Hi Community,
I'm integrating a SPA8000 with latest firmware 6.1.10(001) against UC560 with 8.1. The calls between the analog phones connected to SPA8000´s ports against the SPA502´s phones connected to UC560 are working fine. Also between the UC560´s extensions to SPA8000 ports.
The problem are in the internal calls in the SPA8000.
Any idea why the internal calls in SPA8000 are not working fine ???
I follow this manual that I attached
Thanks in advance.

The problem was in the UC560, where you have to allow the following connections:
voice service voip
allow-connections h323 to h323
allow-connections h323 to sip
allow-connections sip to h323
allow-connections sip to sip

Obscene Prices for International Calls!!! What a Rip-Off!!!

I just took a look at my very first bill and to my surprise, my 10 year old had attempted to make 6 (1 minute calls) and 1 (29 minute call) to England to speak with her father. I admit it was partly my fault because with the last company they could just pick up the phone and call their father and I neglected to tell them that they could not do that anymore. Blah, blah, blah.....my 1st Verizon bill is $220.00 (@$100 or so in long distance charges for basically 1 call).
I called customer service to get some kind of relief but nothing. The advisor said that the billing is done by a 3rd party and that verizon can not do anything about it. I was a loyal Verizon cellular customer for 2 years, paying my bill on time and all and this is how they treat me.
I'm sorry...I know this blog si probably for people who have real issues but I needed to vent my frustration!!! I guess it's time to look for another carrier or go back to old one. For the sake of my sanity and wallet, I had a block put on my phone for international calls but how nice it would have been for Verizon to step up and do the right thing. They could have atleast put me on the international plan and backdated it!!!! GRINCH!!!! BTW, 1 minute call to England is $2.89 so don't make the same mistake!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm in bill shock too. I made one phone call to China and my bill was $200. When I called Verizon for help, they refused.
Actually the FCC received so many complaints about this issue related to cell phones that they were going to pass a law to regulate it. As a preemptive measure, many wireless carriers voluntarily agreed to send text messages to users when their charges were approaching their monthly limit. Unfortunately, there was no such action taken for landlines. Hence your and my situation.
It certainly would be a smart business decision for Verizon to include a voice alert on landlines warning you of the rate you are about to incur, as it would prevent these situations from happening, but they have yet to do so. Every time they do something like this, they lose a long-term customer for a quick profit.
Verizon is aware of the problem. It happens to millions of customers a year. But until people like you and I put pressure on the FCC to regulate them regarding landlines, nothing will change. So I encourage you to contact http://www.fcc.gov/

Looking for a International Calling Plan + Data?

Hello,
Let me first start by saying I am deploying to South Korea (Osan AFB) .
I am looking for a plan with unlimited data usage and at least 450 minutes. I was reading about your global phones and south Korea is CDMA so that is good. It looks like I would have to get a new Droid but that's alright.
I have a few questions though:
1. How does the data work for that plan? I don't quite understand how it works.
2. It says its $1.99 per minute, do you really charge by the minute? $1.99 is steep for a minute,
If I used 200 minutes at that rate my bill would cost $398 plus the taxes and other expenses.
3. What can the party I am calling expect? Would it have to be a world phone to?
I am just really trying to figure out how much this would cost.
Thanks,
Freddy

I would strongly reccomend AGAINST trying to use your Verizon service overseas. As you've discovered, the per minute rates are quite high, and your unlimited data plan will not work there, you would need to pay roaming rates for data as well, and they are no more palatable than the voice rates for international service.
Once you get to South Korea, you should research local carriers and get service from one that is affordable and has the services you need, probably a prepaid carrier.
To your last question, Verizon customers are not charged international rates for INCOMING international calls, so you could call back to the States from your local cellphone, landline, or VoIP provider, and they would be charged the same as if they were getting a call from another phone in the US.

HT1688 Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

No.
For security reasons, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs which such an app would require.
You want to stop being able to place such calls or stop receiving such calls?
If the latter, try stopping it at the source by contacting your carrier.

Cannot call between non-domain users in public network (internet)

We set up a test lync servers. It is only a single server behind a firewall. On the firewall, we did port forwarding to send all the packets destined for a specific public IP to Lyncs private address.
The problem is that we can make calls between lync clients as long as one of them is located in the same subnet as the lync server. If both clients are on internet, the call cannot be setup.
If the clients are connecting remotely to lync; and they are both in the same private network, then that works.
If the clients are connecting remotely to lync; and they are at different locations between different firewalls, that does not work.
If one of the clients are on a mobile phone connecting to the Lync server using the DATA connection; and the other one is connecting from home (no vpn); that does not work.
If one of the clients VPN into the lync server's network and starts the lync client to talk to another client connecting to lync remotely via internet; that works.
Any ideas what might be the problem?
It is a demo Lync environment where we have everything loaded on one single server.
Please advise.

You need to deploy edge components for Microsoft Lync Server 2013 makes it possible for external users who are not logged into your organization’s internal network, including authenticated and anonymous
remote users, federated partners (including XMPP partners), mobile clients and users of public instant messaging (IM) services, to communicate with other users in your organization using Lync Server.

Are calls between iphone to iphone free?

I was wondering on how to use my iphone without adding to the expense

Calls between cellular devices use carrier minutes. Many offer free mobile to mobile, however that is up to the carrier. One advantage to using the iPhone is the ability to make Facetime calls if you are connected to wifi. Many carriers now are offering Facetime over cellular network if you are using iOS6. Using this however, uses your data. There are also apps like Skype that you can use over wifi as well, but to truly answer your question, calls between iPhones are not free.
