Local phone number to dial any number internationa...

I'm helping my father-in-law with his Skype account. He'd had Unlimited calling to Croatia the expired, so I signed him up for Skype premium.
Now he say he has a local number he calls from his landline, and then he can just dial any international number from there.
I'm not seeing this funtionality under any of the features. I'm guessing he was referring to "Skpye to go", but he hasn't had to add any contacts phone numbers before, he can just call the local number and then dial any number he wishes.
He may have an old account he used to set up this feature, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what he's talking about?
Thanks,

Hello,
1. Why "Premium"? Does he want the Group Video facility?
2. That is SkypeToGo.
3. He doesn't need to add any #s. That is simply a convenience feature. He can dial to phones almost anywhere in the world using STG.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Is there a URL to open phone app (not dial a number)?

Hey Guys,
So I'm using Launch Center Pro (loving it, by the way) but I've come across a bit of an issue. I put in most of the numbers I dial into LCP to act as a speed dial and, as a result, relocated the phone app to the last page of my iPhone. However, if I get a voicemail and miss the notification I have to swipe all the way to the last page to open the app and access them. I'm wondering if there's a URL (like LCP uses, some variation of tel://) that allows me to simply open up the phone app or, if possible, open to the voicemail page? I noticed that when you do dial a number in LCP it opens the prompt window in LCP and not the dial screen in the phone app.
Thanks for the help!

In my experience advising Logic users, depending upon the version of Logic and the model Mac you are using, if your Mac will boot from Snow Leopard, you can install Logic and all of its plug-ins in Snow Leopard and then upgrade to Mavericks.

I can't seem to make n actual phone call from my phone. I dial the number, and at the other end it rings, and the person knows it is me trying to call... but on my end of the phone is nothing at all. Why is that?

I can't seem to make an actual phone call from my iPhone 4S. I dial the number, and the phone at the other end rings. But at my end there is nothing. No ringing. No person trying to talk to me. What is causing this problem? I have got all of the current updates loaded to my phone.

My brother had a similar problem and he went to the Apple store and they gave him a new one under warrenty...she said something about the arial, I would give it a go.

Loss of ability to dial any number via Skype to go

Is there any change in the works to restore the ability to call any number via Skype To Go, not just the 9 speed dial numbers?
Mike

I'm assuming the site is not accessible in any other browser such as Firefox.
To eliminate the possibility of their being an internal Network problem:
Set up a new location in your System Preferences>Network panel. Once established, select "network port configuration" from the drop down menu. There, move Airport to the top of the list and deselect the other items.
Then, go to the TCP panel and enter these codes in the DNS servers box:
(separate lines) - 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
Select "apply".
Lastly, via the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
Restart Safari and try the site.

E7 restarting when any number is pressed

So, two days after the Symbian Anna update, my E7 has developed a new bug.
Whenever we go to the dialling screen, pressing ANY number on the onscreen number pad results in the phone restarting. In disbelief, I've let the phone restart, made sure no programs were open, and that the phone had finished starting up before going to 'call' and pressing numbers. ANY number, from 1 to 0, gives that restart.
I've tried a restoring to factory settings. No joy. I'm reluctant to do a complete hard reset as I have a fair amount of data on the phone.
I can live with my phone's keypad bluetooth on/off shortcut being buggy. I can live with many other bugs.
I CANNOT HAVE A PHONE THAT RESTARTS WHEN I TRY TO DIAL ANY NUMBER!!!

I had to hard reset and reïnstall everything from scratch, I was not pleased, to say the least. That was 13 Sept 2011. As of this week, Feb 2012, the problem with the phone has returned, and the phone is restarting whenever any number is pressed on the 'call' screen. Of all possible bugs and problems, this has to be the most annoying. I can get around it restarting by entering a number into memory and dialling it from there instead of dialing directly, but I really shouldn't have to. However, when during a call I need to press a number, e.g dialling an extension, the phone still restarts itself. This is the second hard reset in less than 6 months. Not good, Nokia!

,Emergency call screen can call any number?

Is the Emergency call screen in your Iphone supposed to be only to call 911??? because on my phone, when I use the emergency call screen, it can call any number I want.
Does it happen to you too???
Message was edited by: PATRICIO_NY

from there my question was, is it supposed to be only to call 911,
I know exactly what you meant and what your question is, and the answer is no.
You can call any number from the emergency call selection.
And as I already provided, I want it this way. If I was in dire straights and I was able to place a call and I can only dial 911 and there is no answer at that particular time or lines are busy (which can occur), I want the ability to dial any number, not just 911, and the same for anyone that is with me if I'm unable to place a call and my iPhone is the only cell phone available.
If my iPhone was lost or stolen, I would call AT&T first to have my iPhone's SIM card disabled. Someone that finds or steals my iPhone makes a few calls in the interim before my iPhone's SIM card is disabled by AT&T, so what? I have a calling plan and a rollover minutes credit.

Problem dialing only number after changing SIM card on iPhone 4

I have iPhone 4 , I changed the SIM card for a new number after that I could not dial any number and I keep receiving a massage " call failed "
I went to the carrier VODAFONE AND THEY CHANGED THEY CHANGED THE SIM TWICE but I have the same problem,
What shall I do????

Any iphone locked to ATT cannot be used with any other sim, unless the phone is jailbroken. In your case, the advice you got is correct. You iphone cannot be used unless in the US with an ATT sim. Apple can do nothing.

Phone won't dial out. Old phone received missed calls yesterday instead of my new phone.

Current phone suddenly won't dial out. Yesterday my old phone (which I use for WiFi only and which has not been activated for about 1 year) started receiving calls instead of my current phone. I was not around to answer them, but they only registered as missed calls on my old phone.
Today I tried making a call and my current phone won't dial out--trying to dial any number just gives me silence and then it disconnects after 30 seconds or so. I tried dialing out on the old phone, but it gives me a roaming message and wants me to either buy a calling PIN or call collect to dial out. On my current phone I can still use data/internet fine and I think texting still works (tested by texting my own number and I received the text).
I've tried powering off the old phone for a while and then restarting the new phone, but it didn't help... I can't call verizon since I can't dial out and its saturday night so it looks like their chat is offline..
How can I fix this? Help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately *611 does not work -- like all numbers I try to dial, it goes to the "dialing" screen then does nothing for about 30 seconds, then it disconnects.
*228 Brings up a message box that says "a verizon wireless sim card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities. Your phone number is [my number]" The problem is not fixed however.
I should also clarify that I have been using my old phone for wifi/mp3 playing just fine for the past 1 year without experiencing this problem ever before. My current/newer phone has been working fine right next to it all that time. I did just pull my old SIM card out of my old phone just now in case that might help (should have done that a long time ago). I also removed the battery. That was several hours ago, still having the problem after rebooting the new phone and testing many times.
Using another person's phone I have now verified that I can't make or receive any calls on my new phone, but I can send and receive text messages as well as use mobile data/internet. The newer phone is an LG G2 and the old phone is a Galaxy Nexus if that matters.
Thanks for the help so far

Any suggestions on how to keep a call going successfully? During the course of my conversations, my phone calls end..My cheek touches the screen or my chin dials another number. I am very frustrated. I hold the phone in all directions, but still?

Any suggesstions on ow to successfully complete a call. During the course of a conversation, my face hits the screen and either disconnects the call, switches to Face Time, or dials another number from my Contacts. I hold the phone in all sorts of directions, but still this problem. It is so annoying to the caller and to me! Any suggestion?

The iphone is designed to lock the screen when it is next to your face.
If it is not locking when it is against your ear, then try basic troubleshooting: Restart,reset, restore
Unless you have a case on it. If you have a case, then remove the case and see if that solves it. Otherwise, try basic troubleshooting.
If all fails then make an appointment at the local genius bar or call Apple support to arrange from a replacement.

When I select a local phone number my iphone 4 tries to send an email only and won't ring the number. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

When I select a local phone number from my contacts, the iphone 4 won't ring the number, instead it tries to send an email. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

Thanks for the reply, good try, I thought of that myself and made sure of that this morning, but that is already all done, and as it happens, the contacts are exactly the same as in our other phone (3GS) which works perfectly, but the iphone 4 won't dial ANY local number, instead it tries to send an email. EVERY TIME. most frustrating. I am really trying to work out if there is a setting somewhere (like the area code etc) or if this is a warranty issue.
Thanks again for trying to help!

Dialing a number in the Phone Book from the phone

If I enter a phone number in the Phone Book in the MyVerizon webpage, how do I select that number to dial from my phone?

From your phone there is no way to make a call using the online contacts. You can use your computer to initiate the call. You can read more about. I have copied the instructions below that I have gotten from the user guide at http://www36.verizon.com/fiosvoice/userguide/User_Guide.pdf
To place a call using Calls and Messages Log:
1. Sign-in to your
Account Manager.
2. Click on the name or telephone number of the person you would like to
call from the “Calls and Messages” Log.
3. A pop-up window will appear. Select “Call Back” from the menu.
4. A second pop-up window will appear asking if you want to dial that
specific number or enter a new number. Click “Dial”.
5. Your phone line will ring once the call is placed. Pick up your phone and
wait for the person on the other end to pick up.
To place a call using your Phone Book:
1. Sign-in to your
Account Manager.
2. Select “Phone Book”.
3. Find the name of the person you would like to call.
4. Click on the name and select “Call” from the drop-down menu.
5. A second pop-up window will appear asking if you want to dial that
number or enter a new number. Click “Dial”.
6. Your phone will ring once the call is placed. Pick up your handset and
wait for the person on the other end to pick up.
To place a call from your Account Manager icon:
1. Sign-in to your
Account Manager.
2. Click the “Place a Call” icon.
3. You can
a. select a recently called number by using the dropdown menu (the
last five numbers recently dialed will be displayed) ,
b. manually enter a number, or
c. Click “Browse Phone Book” to select a number.
4. Once the number is entered, click “Dial”.
5. Your FiOS Digital Voice phone line will ring once the call is placed.
6. Pick up your handset and wait for the person on the other end to pick
up.

Dialing number phone prompts for To:UNKNOWN NUMBER instead of Enter Code

I have successfully Applied FAC (force authorization code), after dialing number phone prompts for To:UNKNOWN NUMBER instead of ENTER AUTHORIZATION CODE to complete the call, Also I would like to extend the delay for few more seconds so user can get enough time to enter code before busy tone.

Dear, I am unable to find any option which may let me configure the PROMPT from SERVICE PARAMETERS => Cisco Call Manager ...., which must be set ENTER AUTHORIZATION CODE whenever user dials long distance call. We have CCM 4.1.2

3G, high signal drops as soon as my phone dials a number - what's up with that?

While keeping my phone in the same place all week - sitting on my desk or in my hand while I am sitting at my desk, my signal strength constantly varies from no signal or one bar, to 3G with three bars. It goes back and forth every few minutes. Sometimes it keeps a strong signal for a while before inexplicably dropping down. However, if I ever try to make a call, the moment the phone starts dialing, the signal now always drops down to one bar, no 3G. This has been going on for a few days now. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have any idea what might be going on? Does your signal strength stay the same when your phone is dialing a call (not to mention once you are connected as well of course)?
My signal strength sometimes looks good, but always drops down to one bar when the phone starts dialing. Now I can only talk on one bar - not a very good connection, but as soon as I hang up the call, my signal strength indicator goes back up to a few bars, usually with 3G. Anyone have any guesses what might be going on here?

To "TheInsider":
When you ask, "Are you guys addressing the issue?" you need to know that posts on this forum have no impact on Verizon or Motorola tech support. As far as I can tell and have been told, Tech support do not base any of their decisions on forum postings. They do, however, base decisions on problems documented by calls to tech support from a line other than your mobile phone number, in which you follow all of the instructions of the tech people. If you follow all of their instructions and the problem is not fixed, they might make a small note of it. If they receive enough such calls/documentation/notes, then they might escalate the problem to higher levels of tech support with more important people (and the more calls/documented problems, the more people) checking out the problem.
In order to get Verizon TECH SUPPORT "to care" you need to do something like many people did with the volume problem. There are many, many droid and android forums on the internet. Join them, make relevant posts, organize reports of the problem with other people who have the problem, and get as many people as possible who have the problem to call it in properly to tech support. Many people kept doing this with the volume problem, and eventually enough people had documented the unresolved problem with Verizon tech support, and enough websites and even newspapers started reporting the problem, that Verizon and Motorola now (after weeks of denying any such problem) officially acknowledge the problem and claim (along with Motorola), that they are working on a firmware update that will fix or improve the problem.
My phone does the same thing that you describe, but only from my home in a very rural area with poor reception. In more populated areas with more cell towers (or whatever they are called), my voice calls are perfectly clear. At home, however, as soon as I dial, my number of bars drops to 0 or 1, and as soon as I hang up my number of bars goes up to 2, 3, or 4 (and, I think, a 3G indicator). So I presume that there is decent 3G/data coverage in the rual area where I live, but for whatever reason there is poor voice coverage where I live (and the voice quality at home is poor, in contrast to more populated areas, where it is excellent). Have you noticed whether the problem you describe changes depending on the area in which you are using the phone as I did?

Registration says "invalid local phone number" after OS 10.3x restore

I have an old PowerBook G4 that's still in great shape and I wanted to restore it for some limited usage. The restore went without a hitch, but now OS X is prompting me to register the computer. When I enter my phone number, I get this pop-up window:
"The local phone number you entered is not valid.
Exchange number must be greater than 200, and cannot be 411, 611 or 911."
Any thoughts on this? I really don't need to register this computer as it will mainly be used for internet browsing.
I've already got an Apple ID for my newer Macs.
Any help to either bypass registration or correctly formatting the phone number would be appreciated, thanks!

command-Q gets you off the registration screen.
