why does verizon require dialing 1 + area code when dialing local number

Dialing 1 should not be required.  At least I have never had to do it.
Dialing the area code is becoming more common and it was a requirement on my previous carrier.  As area codes run out of numbers and new area codes are created,  I suspect phone companies find it easier to treat phone numbers as 10 digit numbers rather than 7 digit numbers with an area code.

  • 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.

  • Switched long distance from At&t to verizon in February still no long distance capabilites, WHY?

    Switched long distance from At&t to verizon in February still no long distance capabilites, WHY? I have made numerous calls in the last few months and still am not able to make a long distance call. Do I need to switch back to AT&T. I have been using Skype but doesn't Verizon want the business?

  • Long distance in local calling area

    I have set up some Skype to go numbers in my calling area and some of them are working but when I dial others Bell Canada says the number is a long distance number.  Is there any way to chose the number (ie 613 927 XXXX or 613 434 XXXX) instead of it being automatically assigned?  ANy help would be appreciated!

    a STG number is mapped to a single target number, and that number must always be entered in international dialing format (i.e. exactly the same way you would dial it if you were wanting to call it using SkypeOut on any Skype client)

  • What is the email for the covent garden apple store (UK), if not apple uk. I am in canada and need to contact THIS store (for an insurance claim) and the phone system won't work for a long distance call.

    I am currently living in Canada (but I am from the UK).
    I lost my iphone 4S 32GB a couple of weeks ago and I need to try and prove to my insurance company that the iphone was a 32GB.
    I was told by an apple store near where i live that the original store where i purchased my iphone may be able to find records on my phone and print out a receipt for me. I can't get through to the Covent Garden apple store in london (where i brought the phone), because the automated phone system that apple uses doesn't seem to like long distance phone calls.
    Is there an email for the covent garden store, or for apple uk? I tried toi chat to an apple advisor online, but because of my location i got put through to apple USA.

  • Accessing Oracle DB at multiple location(long distance)

    Hi guys,
    I have a situation where i need to connect to oracle database which are at long distance(say singapore and UAE). Structure of database is same.
    Which is the better way to implement.
    1. Using seperate connection for database
    Connection conSingapore
    Connection conUae
    and use diff Statements
    or
    2. replicating database at single location and accessing centralized database.
    Second option is easy as far as java program is concern but what abt replication process? This may cause synchronization(data inconsistancy) problem. Can we use DB link or Materialized views? Has anybody heard tht?
    Is there any better way to overcome such situation.
    Please help incase anybody has good idea.
    Thanks in advance

    If I get your intention correct, I would advise to pass in the URL of the db at runtime. That is if you are using the thin driver, you can use the following :
    DriverManager.getConnection(url,userName,passWord);you can specify the Database details on runtime so that the connection to the corresponding DB is made.
    GoodLuck,

  • Monitor vibration over long distance ( 300m)

    Hi everyone,
    Currently, I have a project to monitor vibration (16 IEPE channels) from a station that is more than 300m away from monitoring station. Looking at NI's products, I have a few options:
    1. Using ENET-9234:
    - Only 4 channel/module. I need to use 4 modules in total, and need to connect to a router.
    - Ethernet distance is limited at 100m. To reach 300m, I need to use at least 2 repeaters, which are not suitable for my project (off-shore environment)
    2. Using MXI-4 with Fiber Optic: PXI-8336
    - Maximum allowed distance is 200m.NI recommend to add another segment (i.e. add another PXI chassis in between) to extend range to 400m. Or use optical converter to convert between multi-mode fiber to single-mode fiber to extend range
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C86BF63CC73C6721862575F2005A246D
    These recommendations are not suitable either due to harsh contion in the sea and difficult maintenance.
    3. Last option is acquire and process data at the site. Then transfer only processed data back to monitoring station over GPIB or RS-485.
    I would like to seek your advices on these options. Is there any way to avoid the repeaters in between?
    If you have any other ideas, please kindly let me know.
    Thank you very much!
    Have a great week ahead!

  • Access Code for Long Distance

    I am unable to make long distance calls. Each time I try I get a recording stating the access code I entered isn't valid. What does this mean? I've never heard of using an access code for long distance.
    Thanks in advance for your help. 

    Could be mistake.
    You could have been slammed by another phone company.
    You didn't identify your type of phone service.  E.g Fios Digital Voice, Verizon Freedom Plan, etc..
    Remember you are talking to peers here.  Most likely you will need to use the CONTACT US button on any of the verizon webpage.

  • 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).

  • Local to Long Distance Numbers ???

    I'm a commercial pilot and always on the road. All my local numbers do not have 1's in front of them, all my long distance numbers do. On my old phone i could select a number and then there was an option to add a 1 to the number. Is there a way to do this in the iphone without physically editing the number ? How does everyone else do it ?

    In the US it's not needed - AT&T automatically doers that for outgoing calls (i.e. you can dial 1-408-555-1212 or just 408-555-1212 and the call will go through just fine).

  • No long distance dialing for common area phones

    What's the best method step by step of limiting common area phones to local dialing only and blocking long distance?

    The step by step would be to create a voice policy, pstn usage, and route with those restrictions, then assign it to the common area phones.  Then, assign the voice policy to the phones and test.  What you're attempting to do is actually quite
    common.
    I made a handy tool to assign policies to common area phones if it helps:

  • "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 !

  • Color correction in very long distance zoom-in

    Hi,
    I made a shot with the Canon XF305 that's basically a  long distance zoom-in from one village to an other (around 1km distance clips-duration=1 minute).
    The problem that occurs (because it was taken in the hills with a cloudy sky), that some parts where sunny and other parts with cloud shadow showing color errors.
    I made a manual white balance (in the camera before) and the blacks and whites are ok, but I have some problems with mid-red and mid-blue is some parts of the zoom.
    What is the best way to color correct something like this. I was thinking about using the scissors tool and separating some part of the clip and then making
    some kind of transition between the parts of the clip.
    So pro's how is this normally done?!
    Thanks! David

    Hi David,
    That sounds like a good strategy and it is what I would do.  It's often easier to correct each section, then use cross dissolves or opacity keyframes to blend sections together rather than keframing the color/brightness.   This technique works really well with camera pans as well.  Good luck!
    Cheers,
    Gerry
