  • U.S. Citizen making calls from Macedonia

    I am a U.S. citizen who will be living in Macedonia for 2 years. Will I be able to call home with the "unlimited calls to U.S." subcription? Or do I need something else since I'll be calling from abroad (as opposed to making calls from within the U.S.)?
    Help!

    Hi Kelly,
    You will be able to use Unlimited US anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter where you are calling from, you only need to make sure that your subscription covers calling destination.

  • How can I block 'no caller id' calls from contacting me?

    Over the last couple of days someone has got a hold of my number, and has been calling me with a private number. I want to know if there is a way I can block all calls on my phone that come from a private 'no caller ID' number, and only allow ones that have a caller ID through. I have tried contacting my service provider Telstra which they said the most they can do is put me on the do not call register (which doesn't help my situation at all, as the person isn't a telemarketer). Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix my problem?
    Thanks.
    (I have an iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1 and my service provider is Telstra Australia)

    There is no Third Party App you can load onto an iPhone that will be allowed to take over your iPhone's Phone without jailbreaking your device (which cannot be discussed here nor would I ever recommend doing it).
    One feature you can use is the Do Not Disturb feature.  You can set it to allow calls from your Favorites then add all of your people to your favorites, but that is not quite what you are asking for.

  • Making Calls From Landline Through My iMac & Macbook Pro

    Hi, being able to make and receive calls from my iPhone 4s through my iMac & Macbook Pro is good, but I (and from what I can see, so many others) also want to be able to make and receive calls from my landline through my iMac, Macbook Pro. Why does Apple not allow you a way of doing this, why can’t they include a way to plug in your home phone through the computer and an app to do this.
    I only have so much credit on my mobile and can not ring all numbers from my iPhone without it costing me extra (I know it costs to make calls using this feature anyway), but I have to use my mobile to call 13 & 1300 numbers (as it is already paid for in my mobile credit) but it costs me extra to call these from my home phone, and I have to call 1800 numbers from my home phone as it is only free from landlines which I understand, but when I run out of credit on my mobile I have to use my home phone (Landline), so it renders this feature useless.
    I do not understand why they can not include a way of doing this (without VOIP, Skype or anything that is going to cost you more money), like we used to be able to do with older modems, and dial-up etc. I have ADSL2+ and it seems there is no provision to do this by any means, and it also seems the better all the companies try to make technology, the less we are actually able to do with it, and the more backwards it becomes. 
    Apple would make an awful lot of people jump for joy if they allowed you a way to do these things. Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple for so many reasons, and I swore I would never go with them, but got sick to death of PC’s, Windows and the troubles associated with them, that I took the plunge. I will NEVER go back to PC or Windows. I do appreciate that Apple is so much better and cheaper in a lot of things, but making things easier for the home and Business user with features they need and want would be so very much appreciated. All I seem to see is what Apple don’t have, and what so many people want, but can’t get, that it is a shame that it all seems to be about the dollar now (Charge more for less) and not customer satisfaction.
    PLEASE, if anyone (or Apple) knows of a way to do this without costing more I would love to know, as I have a disability and this would make my (and so many others, even without a disability) lives so much easier. Thanks.

    "why can’t they include a way to plug in your home phone through the computer and an app to do this.": Because Apple doesn't control the land line phone. Some providers allow it using their modem, using a app made by the provider/telephone manufacturer, but most don't. Apple simply can't make software for all the phones out there. The problem doesn't come from Apple, it comes from the internet/landline providers.

  • Making Call from Service (XML) and (JTAPI)

    We have a Cisco IP Phone Service for survey's process, when the user accessed the service sends him a phone number to do the survey, we want to make the call and continue with the survey questions but when we do the connection the service closes and the user have to start again, obviously he obtain another phone number.
    What i can do to avoid the service exits and be able to continue my process with my call made?
    //Call Dial
    protected void makecall ()
    throws ResourceUnavailableException, InvalidStateException,
    PrivilegeViolationException, MethodNotSupportedException,
    InvalidPartyException, InvalidArgumentException {
    println ( "Making call #" + ++iteration + " from " + srcAddress + " to " + destAddress + " " + Thread.currentThread ().getName () );
    Call call = srcAddress.getProvider ().createCall ();
    call.connect ( srcAddress.getTerminals ()[0], srcAddress, destAddress );
    setCallProgressState ( false );
    println ( "Done making call" );
    Thanks

    Cisco Web Dialer, which is installed on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and used in conjunction with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, allows Cisco Unified IP Phone users to make calls from web and desktop applications. For example, Cisco Web Dialer uses hyperlinked telephone numbers in a company directory to allow users to make calls from a web page by clicking the telephone number of the person that they are trying to call.

  • N73 cant call from contacts

    Dear Nokia Support Community
    It seems that my N73 cannot make calls from within the address book. For example, I would highlight one of my contacts, and press the green button. Under normal circumstances, this should call the contact, however, nothing happens when I do so on my phone.
    This symptom occurs after the following: I call a telephone number, I let it ring once, and I hang up without them picking up. Then when I try to call within contacts, the bug appears.
    The bug disappears when I restart, however, it reoccurs when I do the above.
    This does not seem to be an isolated case (I have read forums where other loyal Nokia users have had the same problem), is there anyone who knows anything about this? I have the latest firmware (V 3.0638.0.0.43) yet this is still occuring.
    I sent it to be repaired, but all they did was give it a hard restart with a re installation of the firmware.
    Nothing seems to help. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated,

    same is the problem here... i cannot call contacts on my n73 by pressing the green button nd even can't on the speaker during the conversation.......!!!!
    but after restarting the phone, it works fine form a day or two, but the problem persists....
    PLZ NYONE CAN SOLVE DIS PROBLEM....????

  • Making call from Calendar

    I just switched from a Blackberry where I was very able to make calls from my address book. Each day I would move "to do" items to the next day's calendar and call from the calendar when driving or off site. Is there a way I can do this in my I phone without switching from Calendar to Contacts?
    Rchdb

    No. Unfortunately, phone numbers in calendar events are not recognized as dialing links by the iPhone. (I am annoyed by this personally, due to the number of teleconferences I dial into, which would be much easier if I could tap the number in the calendar event).

  • IPhone4 gets calls from contacts but when attending, the call is reversed.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS6 occasionally gets a call from my contacts and when I attend the call, I hear the phone ringing and that contact gets a call from me. This is weird because, I used two sims in the same device and the problem still exists. I also tried formatting the phone and reinstalling iOS. I asked the service provider (Vodafone IN) customer care, but they are not sure what the problem is.

    I read two functional requirements here:
    When there are no agents available in CSQ1, simultaniously queue the call into CSQ2.
    Allow internal employees to transfer calls to CSQ2 specifically.
    For the first requirement you can just nest a second Select Resource step within the Queued condiiton of the first Select Resource step.
    For the second just create a second trigger on the same application, use a Get Trigger Info step to understand which trigger was used. Use that with an If step and a Goto step to skip forward in the script to the nested Select Resource step of CSQ2 if the internal-only trigger was used.

  • Igonre calls from contact list

    Does anyone know how to set where in I can ignore calls from the people on my contact list. I get the screen to ignore when people not in my contact list call, however when some one from the list calls, I do not get that option. Any set up changes. ideas ????

    Well, technically you can/could. It's a feature called 'Smart Limits'. However, AT&T no longer allows you to block incoming calls due to potential 911 call-back issues. If you had the feature when it first came out you can still use it but no new subscribers are able to add the feature. It will allow toy block up to 15 specific numbers. It is currently being tested until it has all of the issues sorted out.

  • Incoming phone calls from Contacts-pictures

    How can I make the pictures come back on my contacts. Before it would show the nice picture of the contact. Now it's just a little tiny circle with with newest update 7.1. I like the old incoming call/answering set up better. How do I change that in settings back to the previous update (atleast).

    My 5s recently began to not take some incoming calls, but they go directly to voicemail.  Do not disturb settings allow calls from Everyone, Repeated Calls is On, and Silence is checked "Only while iPhone is locked.  Any thoughts why it's being selective?
    just turn off do not disturb
