Long distance charges

Hello
Please I am curious are there charges for me dialing 800 or 866 numbers from my land line?

Secondly, after receiving my first bill including Long Distance service under this plan, I see a "Prorated monthly Recurring Charge" of $4.82 tacked on to my long distance charges.
One final question: Is there an economical way to drop international service on the land line and use my cell for international calls?
Thanks for your help.

Can't help with your fine print problem....that's why it's called the fine print.
Pro-rated service workes like this.
- All verizon telephone services are billed for 1 month in advance. You pay for may's usage in april.
-When you start a new service, mid-billing service, they charge you a pro-rated amount for time from when the service starts until the next bill date.
So, if you start in the middle of a billing cycle, you pay 1/2 of a months service charge plus a full month for the following month.
Re-low cost ways of making phone calls, if you both have internet service, you could try skype. That works well for my nephew in south africa and his mom in the states.
Hope this explains it for you.

Unhappy with verizon about long distance charges

Hi I have been very happy with verizon for a very long time, and I always had every problem resolved, the customer service is one of the best there is. But I saw a $38.87 in long distance charge on my bill. Which is impossible because when I first got my cell phone I was never able to make international calls from day one, also I only use calling cards or apps to call international. As always I trust verizon wireless to resolve my issues. So when I called I spoke to BROOK and she was fine at first, but then when I told her that I never added international calling to my plan, she said that this service is given to long time customers. And even tho I did accepted that in fact I did call international, she kept repeating herself to me saying, ''YOU JUST ADMITTED TO ME YOU MADE THE CALL''. Of course I admitted it, I'm not gonna lie. I felt like my mom saying ''you just admitted to me". When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she said I am the supervisor and I can only meet you half way as a courtesy or something like that. I insisted to speak someone higher and finally she put me on hold, I said ok she said ''uhuh'' like I inconvenienced her. I work in customer service, customers can get really rude and frustrating, and even curse you out, but in no way I did any of that(because I know how it feels). The point is that I never added international calling to my plan, and I used a calling card to make every international call. Although the gentleman she transferred me after was more like a person DID NOT resolve my problem I am $19.00 short. I am so upset and even when verizon was charging extra for many months in the past w/o my permission (it was returned after). Even that, did not make me upset because I trusted that verizon will resolve it with no problem. Well now I can't wait until my plan is due on November and cancel my services.

I am also unhappy with verizon's long distance charges for my cell phone. It's ridiculous that I'm getting charged $6.37 in long distance charges for two months in a row. The first month, I went to the store and they mentioned a call to Canada. I was like "fine, I may have called Canada." The next month, I am absolutely certain that I did not make any international calls; yet I got another charge for $6.37. Now I'm going to have to waste my time on the phone with Verizon for this refund because their website links you to discussion forums instead of providing an option to email customer service to complain about overcharges.

I have an unlimited talk plan but I received a $40 long distance charge this month...no explanation, just says "long distance-Verizon wireless". Nothing shows up in roaming...what is this??

Sorry for any uncertainty about your bill, vintagefaith77! I can see how it would unsettle you to see a charge you didn't expect. Although you may have unlimited domestic minutes with your plan, long distance charges occur when you make a call to a non-domestic phone number (international). It wouldn't be a roaming charge because the call was made from within your home calling area (the United States) to an international number.
I recommend reviewing your detailed statement for the call(s). Some 10 digit numbers can be dialed from your phone but still be international (such as calls to Canadian or Dominican Republic numbers).

This may sound silly but can anyone tell me if facetime is done through wifii or is it charged as a long distance from canada to us

this may sound silly but can anywone tell be if facetime is wifi or a long distance charge?

FaceTime is NEVER charged. It is basically going through the internet, as if you were watching a YouTube video, it just takes data. You probably have a data limit through your wireless provider, for example, I can only use 3Gb of data per month on my iPhone 5 through AT&T.
If you use Wi-Fi, you will NOT be charged for data (unless your internet provider has a cap on the amount of data you can use).
If you do facetime over cellular data, you just have to watch your data usage. You can watch your data usage in Settings > General > Usage. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offer free apps you can use to monitor your data usage (among many other things, like pay your wireless bill, etc.).

Program Long Distance Card

I'm wondering if it is possible to with just one click make a LD call to a contact in my contact list and automatically have the call charged to my LD card.
I was used to my cellphone which allowed me to call any # from my contact list and when I held the send key for 2 seconds it automatically recognized I wanted to make a LD call and charge it to my calling card, which was already programmed in the phone.
Or is it possible to have the BB recognize any LD number prefixed with a 0 should be charged to my LD card, without having to type in my LD card # and PIN all the time.
I don't want to pre-program all my LD contacts with the calling card #, because sometimes I find my self in the city where my contacts are, and I need to call them locally.

For each of these contacts, you can store one phone number for Long Distance and one phone number for local calls. So when you call one of the, you just choose which one you want to use. I hope you don't have too many contacts

Rogers - Long Distance Data?

Hi all,
I just got my first Data Plan and Blackberry (8900 Curve) from Rogers yesterday. I was wondering if using data outside of my local calling region (i.e. Toronto) will cause "Long Distance Data" charges? Or is there no such thing?
Cheers,
Ben

With the Canadian providers (including Rogers) Data roaming in Canada is free. So from Victoria to St Johns, there is no "long distance" as you put it for using data, regardless of the fact that you have a Toronto phone #.
When you travel outside of Canada, that's when you start paying Data roaming charges.

International Long Distance Value Plan

I'm trying to confirm that the International Long Distance Value Plan (calling Canada = $5.00 monthly access charge, $0.01/min for landline and mobile) can be added to a ALLSETS prepaid plan. I'm hoping to setup a prepaid plan in the next few days. I had talked to a Verizon rep on the phone and they had said that this plan cannot be added to a prepaid plan. I had chatted via the online chat with a rep who said that it is possible to do this. International Prepaid Phones & Plans - Verizon Wireless is where I saw this Long Distance plan. So who/what is correct?

I just chatted with another rep online. Additional funds must be made available on the Prepaid account before using the International Long Distance Value Plan. So for a smartphone, it would be the $45 for the ALLSETS plan, plus $5 for the access fee, plus however much more funds are added to use the per min. charge to make the international long distance call.
The other option would be to go with the plan that offers 1000 mins. for $10/month (calling Canada).

"A long distance company access code is required"

I just spent half an hour on the phone (the landline) to fix an issue with the DSL setup, and during that time the call was a bit fuzzy. The customer support agent tested the line after we hung up and called back to let me know she didn't find any problems, so I tried putting a different filter on the line in case that was a problem. I called my wife's cell phone so that we could check clarity and then got this message: "a long distance company access code is required". Ok, weird. I called my own cell phone, which has the same area code as the landline, and got the same message. I thought I had nationwide calling? What's the deal? I tried calling customer support again, but the automated support said I would need to have someone come out and check the line at the risk of having to pay charges if the problem was on our side- since I'm not sure the computer knew what my problem actually was, I didn't want to risk it.
We just activated everything today. Anyone have a clue what'd going on?

A little-known secret is that the Verizon Access Code (dialed before the number) is 1016963 .
Out-of-state (but expensive), try the AT&T Access Code -- 1010288 .
For DSL-service without a dial-tone, ask for "Dry-loop Service".
With DSL, try paying Verizon $7.99 per month for "Inside Wire Maintenance" -- otherwise, when there is a problem with the flaky DSL and a service-call is necessary, they may claim that the problem is in your inside wiring, and charge you $100 for each Service Call !
DSL degrades the further your location is from the "hub-facility".
The maximum distance from the DSL "hub-facility" is about 18,000-feet (as the wire-travels) -- anything beyond that, and you may experience frequent drop-outs !

Is there a way to find out if the number that was given to the ipod is long distance or not.

I just got my daughter a ipod touch and we downloaded the textnow app. the number that was given to her is there a way to find out if it is a long distance number? And if she calls people does it charge anything?

Why do you want to get it from browser URL while you can get it from ABAP?
I think you can try SY-LANGU to get the language of user.

Long Distance Calling & Voice-over IP

If I am running my blackberry thru my wireless router, can I make long distance calls for free? I heard that if you're in a foreign country and you hook into wifi that your calls are free as well...true?

UMA = Unlimited Mobile Access.
Yes, if you have UMA on your device, if you are in, say Germany, and you have a WiFi connection and UMA on the screen, when you make a call to anywhere, in this case pretend you are calling back to the USA.
The call is made via WiFi/UMA, and the call is connected to a router for the WiFi network you are on, and then direct back to a Tmobile network center in the USA. Then the call is connected to your party via the normal phone network. Because the call now "originates" from the Tmobile service center in the USA, the call is a local in-nation call.
Say you are in Germany, and you call Japan. Same story, the call orginiates from the Tmo service center in the US, and you are charged for a US --> Japan call, rather than Germany > Japan, which in most cases can be advantageous for your rates.

Long Distance Call Log

Hey,
Can I see a log of the long distance calls made from my home phone number? How???

Pat3472 wrote:
I used to get a list of all the long distance calls made on my land line. I no longer get this. Is there anyway to view the long distance calls made from my home phone? Not incoming but outgoing?
Not sure why you don't see them, I do, on my bill. Now, I have the Freedom Essentials package as part of the triple play, and I get a paper bill, but the calls are all listed, even though there is no charge for any of them. I have never been able to find the list of calls on the website though, seems like they should be there also, particularly if you don't get a paper bill - do you get a paper bill?

Want to cancel itunes account and no longer be charged on my credit card account. How can I do this ASAP?

How are they showing up on your account e.g. are they auto-renewing subscriptions that you haven't stopped : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
Does anyone else have access to your account and/or devices that might be making them ?
If you can't work out where they are coming from then you could contact iTunes support and ask them for help (we are fellow users here on these forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If they aren't showing on your account's purchase history then you should also contact your card issuer.

How do you use a long distance card with iPhone??

I have my long distance card set as a contact but when I dial it and then dial the contact I want to reach it treats it like a seperate call. Anyway around this? Ideally it is just for when I call one area code - in Canada - that I want it to first dial the calling card number as a prefix.
thx in advance

You should compile the FPGA into a bit file. You can then load the bit file in the host VI. This loading should only happen when the host VI is ran.
10 minutes to compile? That is quick!!! I had one that took 2 hours and I've heard stories of some taking a lot longer.
The Producer/Consumer architecture is the closest thing I can compare my setup to. Yes, I use the queues because the host VI is constantly running. You have to use some kind of messaging in order to pass data into the host VI. I used an Action Engine to keep my queues in order, but you could probably just use named queues to accomplish the same task.

After updating to ios 7.1 my iPhone 5s battery *****. It takes longer to charge and shorter to finish.

3 months back I upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and realised 4s is a much better phone. It gave me longer battery life of around 8.30 hrs of usage on 2g and 7 hrs on 3G but 5s was giving me only 7 hours of usage on 2g and 5 hours on 3g but since I've updated it to ios 7.1 my battery ***** even more. It takes longer to charge and shorter to drain. Now I get only 4 hours usage on 2g and somewhat 3hrs roughly on 3G and it takes around 3 hours to charge where awe it used to take only 100 minutes perfectly. I don't know what's wrong with apple. I was a huge apple fan when I had my 4s but now I'm disappointed. But worst thing comes last night, I usually lose around 10% due to my network's pop up messages overnight but last night i lost 37%. When I got up and checked usage it shows me 6 hrs 30 minutes usage but I haven't used my phone since I was sleeping. Hope a new update releases soon to patch this but till that some advices on saving battery would be appreciated, thank you.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.
