MEID number and invalid phone number

I’m having trouble with over-the-air programming for my Palm Pixi Plus. I bought the phone new, then had it sent to HP Palm to be repaired. The phone was activated when I bought it, but after it was repaired it no longer works. I called *228 and it says programming successful after a few seconds, but when I dial out, I get a Verizon prompt saying the phone number is invalid.
I was told that HP sometime changes the MEID # after repairs, but I don’t know how to check it on the phone itself. I’ve tried the bypass tool but it won’t run – it doesn’t do anything. The file I downloaded is devicetool.jar and it is in the main c: drive. The command prompt line I was using is java –jar devicetool.jar
I’ve also downloaded webOS doctor and reset my phone, but it still didn’t work.
Any other suggestions? Should I trust that the MEID number on the CDMA Test Data Sheet is the same as what the phone is programmed as?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121vzw (Verizon)

The MEID is a hard-coded number and is not controlled by the software. However, if you would like to check, you can go to the Device Info application and tap the More Info button to see all kinds of information, including the MEID of the phone.
Your best bet is to call Verizon and let them know what's going on. If you can go through the activation ok, then it's probably the network that is blocking you call. They should be able to identify the problem and remove it.

SMS and Outlook Phone Number Extenstion

I don't know if this is a N95 or a PC Suite problem.
I have used different computers, PC Suite versions and N95 firmware versions to test this.
I create a contact in Outlook and add a phone number.
For examle:
Country: Germany
Area Code: 123
Phone Number: 4567
Extension: 89
This is shown as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 in Outlook and
this is synced as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 to my N95.
I like the x so I can see the extension easily. But when I
try to write a SMS and select this contact and the phone
number, I always get "Invalid Contact details: ..."
Is this a problem with my N95 or with the PC Suite? I cannot
enter the "x" manually in my phone so I think this shouldn't
be synced. But it would be nice if I could enter it.
Marc

I pretty much agree. I have an N95 and also use Outlook 2003. I sync using PC Suite (6.85.14.1). I'm pretty sure I did not have this problem with my previous phone (6680) but if I use the formatting for the phone numbers as provided by Outlook 2003, then they get synced to the N95 as something like +44 (07801) 123456. The N95 will not work with that number so I have to edit them before I can use them - tedious.
In fact, it is only necessary to delete the nought at the beginning of the area code, so +44 (7801) 123456, will work.
It would be very helpful if the N95 software could spot the international code and then ignore a following nought. Maybe that doesn't apply to all countries, but I guess it would help a lot of us!

Call ended - invalid phone number

Skype keeps telling me I am entering an invalid phone number. I have tried several time without success. I have credit in my account that I cannot use. I am talking of a landline in Chile here not even a cell phone.
The message "call ended - invalid phone number" appears every time I try to call a number that I have called regularly for the past year. Don't know why it stopped working or how to remedy it. I have tried dialing from my contacts list as well as dialing directly.
Sometimes (not always) other numbers in the same city seem to work making it a selective issue.
I can't figure out what's wrong.
This matter has been popping up since last year and no one in the bloody company of Skype has been able to supply a proper response in the community area or at least an instruction to fix it for ever more.
If any of these seems familiar to you it's because I cut and paste messages of different people having the same problem although with no solution at hand

I am having the same issue. I have checked for updates, but it says I have the most up-to-date version, I have checked my subscription, no problems there, I even have almost $15 in credit in addition to an unlimited monthly subscription. I think the problem started when Microsoft started messing with Skype. I am going to be asking for a refund on my credit and the past several months of my subscription if this issue can't be resolved. It won't work from either of my laptops, PS3, iPhone or iPad... Thier billing still seems to be working though, they charge me every month even though I can't use the service. I have sent messages to thier support as well but have not heard a word back. Any suggestions? Have already uninstalled and re-installed a few times...

N73 - error "internet : invalid phone number"

i try to make a program use J2ME. this program is only add "*11" before the phonenumber. the format is like this :
example : 081805135895 (phone number)
*11081805136895 (after add "*11")
if this number send to provider, it make user can use a fiture from this provider.
I have "textfield.phonenumber" to get the phone number from user. when i fill this textfield with searching from phonebook, my program can work well. But, when this combination number send to the provider, N73 show error "internet : invalid phone number". in fact this program can run at nokia 6600, and some phone from Sony Ericsson.
i hope somebody can help me ... plizz....
thank you

Its not something that SKYPE doesn't know about. This same problem has been going on intermittently since 2011. (There are posts that date back to January 2011)
This seems to be a problem that Skype is unwilling to solve or fix.
Perhaps if people called the Better Buisness Bureau and other authorities like the FCC, perhaps after a few million in fines they'll be willing to actually fix the problem.
IF their company is not in the US, then they can be banned from operating in the US. This would create a problem for them as all countries would follow suit...except china.
This problem might be considered a fraudulent service as you are paying for a service you can not use or promised services are not available as stated.
So all the "moderators" that try to regurgitate the "make sure..." manifesto don't really have a clue. Its also not possible to hold moderators responsible for "placating" people with BS solutions as their usually not part of the company nor are they being paid to "moderate" forums.
The only thing you can truly do is cancel your sub for Skype or just not renew it when it ends, this is what I plan to do. I can get vonage and pay a bit more and get problems solved. Perhaps when they lose a few million "PAYING" customers they'll acvtually get a proper support service and start acting like they have a service to render.
Thats my advice, like it or lump it you know I'm right. So go get vonage for VOIP and drop Skype until they get a clue as to what their doing.

Message - 'invalid phone number'

When calling my son in Nicaragua (the same number for a year now), I keep getting a message after his phone rings for one second, 'invalid phone number'. My son says his phone is working and I can call other numbers through skype. What's the problem?

Hungary - invalid phone number

I'm from Hungary and I have bought recentyl an unlimited world subscription. I tried to call some ordinary inland wired phone numbers, but I'have always received an "invalid phone number" error message. I can call only 2-3 numbers.
I did not miss the country prefix, so no idea what the problem is.
Can anybody help?

VideoHead, I just discovered the "Leave Feedback" screen in Skype, and I have sent in a feedback message, but I am not hopeful. Microsoft implies this form is just for requests for additional program features or for comments about audio or video quality.
I suppose asking for Skype to work in the first place is a type of feature request, but that's probably not what Microsoft is interested in.
If I should hear anything useful from Skype, I promise to post it here for you (and for others).

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.
