Nokia 6234 Digital Voice Caller ID

A friend of mine's phone has a digital voice that says the name of the person that is calling.
Is this function part of nokia or is it from network such as Vodafone.
My friend is partially sighted so perhaps it is software related.
Apparently Vodafone offer a service in conjunction with the RNIB which does a similar thing to this and reads out text messages too called the Speaking Phone.
I would like to know if this function is available on the 6234.
Many thanks

It's a feature that's available on newer nokia smartphones. I had an E65 that could say the callers name.
The feature is not available on the 6234.

Digital Voice & Caller ID

On 8/9 I switched from copper to digital. Caller ID is still showing wrong name. I've called numerous times and spoke with tech support. I've had Verizon phone service since 2009.
1st Time - I was told that I needed to call billing and have them provision my account.
2nd Time - I was told by billing that is was a tech support problem and that other companies needed to fix on their end. I was told to give it a week and it should be fixed. Well it is; however with only certain people. Two people with Verizon - our name comes through correct with one and incorrect with the other.
If it was fixed, why would it show up correct on one person's caller id and incorrect on another person's caller id, when both of them have Verizon?

Hey jct, what happens when you call someone does your name and number show correctly. If you receive two calls one with correct caller ID and the other with incorrect caller ID then this person has to call the Database Administration Center to update their profile.

Nokia 6234 - Selective voice tags?

Hi guys,
Can somebody please advise.
Just got the new 6234 - Love it.
Only one feature annoys me. All the contacts in the address book are automatically associated with a pre-generated voice tag. As I have 247 contacts, the success ratio in the phone dialling the correct contact when envoking the voice tags is bad.
Is there a way of associating the pre-generated voice tags to only a few designated contacts and not all the contacts in the address book, so as to increase the success rate of voice tag dialling?
If not, Can any developer from Nokia reading this please put it in their "wish list" when they develop the next firmware release. Pretty Please! ;-)

There is no option of customizing voice tags in NOKIA 6233-6234.... I hope NOKIA must think about it and may launch a new update. Still the latest FIRMWARE V05.01 does'nt have it.

Voice Calls Breaking Up on AT&T in the US

This is a continuation of the thread I started below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1653137
To summarize, voices break up(or cut in and out) when I am on a voice call. I live in the Northern NJ area and I haven't traveled lately so I haven't had a chance to see if I have this problem outside my area.
I determined that the problem is not with my iPhone for the reasons below.
1. I exchanged the iPhone for a new one and experienced the same exact problem.
2. I put my SIM card in another GSM phone(Nokia N70) and experienced the same problem when I used the Nokia phone for voice calls on the AT&T network.
Does anyone else experience this symptom on AT&T voice calls in other parts of the US?
I am planning to get a cell ranger signal booster to see if it helps.

I live and work 30 miles apart in California. I have noticed that voice calls are good were I live but break up were I work. I also noticed that the 3G signal is weaker were I work.
The last few days at work were very windy and the voice call broke up a lot to the point were I disabled 3G just to hear the person I was talking to. For some reason the wind seems to affect the quality of the voice 3G.
Side Note: Since my office is in a area were 3G is not that stable the signal will keep switching from EDGE and 3G when I'm inside my building. This seems to were the battery down faster so I found it better to keep 3G off when I'm at work. This does not happen in my home town were I get a great 3G signal.

Signed up for FIOS Digital Voice days ago. Already getting telemarketer calls!!! Did I opt in?????

I switched to FIOS this week. As part of my triple play bundle, I have FIOS Digital Voice.
I signed up online to take advantage of some nice bundle savings.
The install went well and everything is working fine, with one MAJOR exception now:
I am getting several telemarketing calls daily on my FIOS Digital Voice line. I will need a larger timeframe to confirm this is not just typical fluctuating telemarketing call volume, but the fact that I a didn't notice it before porting my home phone number to FIOS implies something is amiss.
1. My first important question:
When I signed up for FIOS online, I recall a checkbox during the ordering process (at a cost of $10) not to have my number published or listed in some Verizon directory or other type of phone directory (can't recall which it was).
I apparently selected the option to save $10 and thereby have my number published or listed.
Did I, unknowingly (hindsight is 20/20) attract these telemarketing calls that way?
I would appreciate it If someone can shed some light for me on whether that $10 I saved when signing up for FIOS was for opting out of (i.e.. for not signing up) for one of the following [apparent since I don't recall for sure what exactly the checkbox was:
(I recall something to the effect that it said we won't publish your name if you check the box and pay $10 for not publishing you name???]:
Here is the official distinction from FIOS' site:
Non-Published, Non-Listed, and Additional Listings Non-Published, Non-Listed, and Additional Listings Non-Published Service
Your name, address, and telephone number are not published in the Verizon Directory White Pages.
Your telephone number is not available from Directory Assistance (411).
Non-Listed Service
Your name, address, and phone number are not published in the Verizon Directory.
Your telephone number is available from Directory Assistance (411).
Their site notes both of these have a monthly fee.
http://www22.verizon.com/residentialhelp/generic/phone+generic/phone+product/questions/124388.htm
Anyway, back to my questions:
2. Does what I did make a difference anyway (hinges on the response to question 1 and on what it really means since i thought I read somewhere that telemarketers will get numbers even if they aren't officially listed and / or published).
Any feedback from the community on what EXACTLY that checkbox said and what implication it may, or may not, have as far as getting telemarketing calls as a result is concerned would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT - After posting this, I got a few more telemarketing calls already.
Today alone I am averaging roughly one telemarketing call every 45 minutes (different telemarketers mostly with a few repeats).
I have had this number for numerous years while under Cablevision's Optimum Voice service and I was getting less than 5% as many telemarketing calls while under Optimum Voice, even though I ported it to Verizon just two days ago!!! As others have noted, this is very frustrating.
The worst part is now there is nothing that can be done by Verizon even if they wanted to since my number is already out there and being passed around!!!
Anyway, I do want to know if the item I checked (or left unchecked) when ordering FIOS online had to do with either opting out of my number being unlisted or unpublished?
I am pretty sure it mentioned something about a directory listing if I did not pay the $10 to opt out, but I don't know if it was unlisted or completely unpublished....
Can someone confirm which it is?

It seems like several / most of them are ADT dealers.
I signed up for the DNC registry last week. Had been avoiding since a) with Optimum Online I rarely got telemarketer calls and b) I heard it could make matters worse, so I didn't bother signing up since I was not experiencing calls at the time.
Too bad Verizon and other telecom firms do not automatically block these calls on their end for consumers who wish to opt out of telemarketing calls.
It would be easy enough to develop a simple database where users could flag numbers.
If a given number is reported several times by different users, Verizon (and other telecommunications firms could the validate that these are telemarketers and block them.
Verizon FIOS Digital Voice's current 10 number block list is not nearly enough, as many others have stated here.
They should increase that to 200 or more if possible (in any case, at least 100) per phone service customer.
I found a post that contains content that I will add to my voicemail announcement. It won't stop robo dialers though.
Ask to be put on their do not call list, ask the person you talk to to verify the number they're DNC'ing. Make a note of this. If they call back, let them know that you informed them on "xx" date you asked to be put on their DNC list, and you'll be keeping track of every call they make to you from here on out and will pursue remedies under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act if the calls don't cease immediately. 47 U.S.C. 227 et seq is where you'll be looking. A lot of consumer protection attorneys will take these cases since each call is at minimum a $500 violation, and if you can show it to be willful, the damages treble to $1500 per call.

Nokia e7 - doesn't work the voice call

Hello! I have nokia е7 with latest OS. I can't force to work a voice call. When pronouncing a voice tag occurs nothing. In what there can be a problem. Thanks.

Phone work under Nokia Belle Refresh 111.040.1511.
I have 601 contact in my phone.
I want to make some adjustment to my post. I can call by voice only if I press link on app "Voice command", then say contact name and then, after some detection phone call to the contact person. My question was - If I could just say contact name WITHOUT touching phone to call to thecontact person. (And if answer is - NOT, could I make it with Garniture). Thank you!

2 lines no Caller ID or Digital Voice Access on TV

I recently switch from Freedom Essentials to Digital Voice in New York. I also added a seocnd Digital Voice line. With this configuration I no longer see Caller ID information on my TV nor can I access the Digital Voice menu on the TV. when I called Technical Support I was told that with two phone lines these features do not work, sorry.
Can anyone else confirm that this is the case? Verizon, will this be changed in the future? Why wasn't I told when I ordered that these features will no longer be available?
Larry
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Larry! I do not *believe* this is in fact true. I've sent you a PM so I can get your account info and then I can tell you for sure what the story is. I know caller ID DEFINITELY works with the Fios digital voice product, and I see no reason why the number of phone lines you have would make a difference, unless you're using distinctive ring. Those features are incompatible due to backend issues. Is that the case?

Fast busy, esp when accessing Voice Mail on FiOS Digital Voice

When we have new messages and call into voice mail and enter passcode, the voicemail guy starts talking and all of the sudden we get the dreaded fast busy. So then we have to hang up and try again, then get the old "I'm sorry, that account is in use". So then we have to wait about ten minutes and try again, and this is getting very frustrating. I called in a trouble ticket for it and nobody seems to have a clue. In fact, while I was on the phone with tech support I got the fast busy about ten minutes into the call and didn't receive a call back, so I had to call it in all over again! We just got FiOS back in May. Before that we had T-Mobile @Home for our home phone, and it was rock solid and trouble-free! So I expected a fiber optic Verizon home phone to be at least as reliable as a Linksys router with a T-Mobile SIM card in it - but boy was I wrong! And now that TMO has stopped selling @Home I can't switch back. Also, the Verizon voicemail is very frustrating to begin with. The TMO voicemail system lets you listen to your message, then press 7 to delete it after you've heard it. The VZ voicemail forces you to press 3 to delete the message while it's still playing. Otherwise, after all your messages are done playing, you have to go back and play them over again, deleting them while they are still playing. I just cannot figure out whey they would design a voicemail system so cumbersome and frustrating. Not to mention, TMO gave you the option of bypassing the password security when accessing from your home phone. VZ makes you put the password in every time. Help! I'm sure there is someone on these boards that is way smarter than anyone I can get on the phone. Thanks!

We have been getting the exact same thing for almost a year now... since switching to FiOS Digital Voice in May of last year! Every time I call in to report it they 'escalate' the issue but it never gets resolved. The problem seems to be in the initial connection. Most of the time it works fine but, several times a month, after I call to get messages and it starts to play the new message it goes dead and I get the busy signal. I get the same message when I call back: “I’m sorry – that account is in use at this time. Please try again later!” I have even called in with my cell phone and get the same message! I HAVE EVEN used the Internet to see if I could get my messages and, when I hit Play, I get a pop-up saying: “Your Voice Mail box is currently in being accessed; please try again later. If the problem continues, please contact our Customer Support Center at 1-888-553-1555. We apologize for any inconvenience.” This is obviously a software bug that Verizon has no clue on how to troubleshoot OR fix!!! I wonder how many people have the problem and just don’t bother reporting it because of the hassle? When it first started happening they destroyed my entire mailbox and I had to re-enter the complete mailbox setup again – 3 times!!! NEVER let them talk you into that!!! It’s their problem and they need to fix it!!!!!!! I wish I could go back to the ‘normal’ voicemail we originally had… they want hundred$ to switch back because I’d be breaking my #$@%^&* contract! Good luck if you have Verizon………

Fios digital voice app no longer working

I have the digital voice service on my home phone, and the android app always worked fine. I have the app installed on a phone and a tablet, and was able to get voice mails, see the call log, etc. .
Starting a few days ago the app would say that I do not have digital voice.I reinstalled the app on my phone, same message. I tried it on the tablet, again the same message. I went to the web site and confirmed that I still have digital voice.
A possibly related issue is that since I merged a business fios internet account with my home TV account, and ported a number over, I have never been able to make any changes using the web page. Whether phone or TV, I get an error message, and it says to call the business office. This happens when i try to order or change a TV box, and also when I tried to order home monitoring stuff. I have been on hold for hours waiting to talk to a rep, but always have to hangup before a live person answers due to having to leave my desk or office. This error message has been present for more than a year, but I have never been able to talk t someone live to get it resolved. The one or two times I did speak to somone, they transfer me somewhere else.

Anybody had any luck on this issue? I'm obviously not the only one out there that's having the problem. Verizon live chat/phone customer service has been clueless, and I stopped in at a verizon store last night to see if they could help. The rep had never seen the issue before, and was unable to provide any assistance, even stating that he wouldn't even know where to start with a problem such as this. His best suggestion was to try and contact the app developer. Anybody else out there seen any resolution to this or am I stuck actually plugging my home phone back in and having to ignore the 5767583768694 "nonprofit" telemarketer calls I get daily?

Fax picks up fax AND voice calls

I thought when you have an external modem fax set up, the computer is supposed to tell if it's a voice call or a fax call. For some reason, the fax keeps picking up on ALL calls on the first ring (or any ring # I set it for) and no voice calls are getting past the fax now. Is there anything I can change to fix this?
I have a cable VOIP phone system, could this be interfering? I would assume that would work even more stably though, since it's all digital.
I'm at a loss.

I don't think there is any way for your computer to know it's NOT a fax call..... until after it's been answered...

Great....upgraded my bundle and was forced into digital voice. Now I've lost my 2nd phone line

I'm beyond frustrated yet again with Verizon and trying to do an upgrade. I upgraded my bundle and was forced into digital voice. Really didn't care to change my phone but went ahead. So today I wake up to no 2nd phone line or distinctive ring line. I've spent 2+ hours on the phone trying to get someone to get my phone line back and I'm so sick of being transferrred, calls dropped, wrong department, etc. I don't have time for this **bleep**! Plus...the online chat isn't working either. I give up!
If there is a tech person out there that can help me get my line back....please tell me who the heck to call without getting a one hour + run around with no help!

Message Waiting Signal from ONT - Digital Voice

We use an Avaya IP office, that detects the MWI indicator that is being refreshed every 30 minutes from the ONT. We have voicemail, completely turned off on our Digital Voice service because we prefer to use our own voicemail. Problem is that even though it's all off - the ONT still does this refresh signal every 30 minutes at about 5 minutes past the hour, and the system thinks it's an incoming call.
Trying to explain this to support is brutal, but based on research, it actually CAN be turned off somewhere in the ONT to stop this refresh signal. How do I explain this in a service ticket? They don't seem to understand the issue.

Nope, we already did that in the settings on digital voice. It gets a bit technical here, which is why it's hard to explain in a service ticket.
Check out THIS post in relation to this:
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1701754
Specifically down towards the end where another user quoted this:
"Ok , I have this issue resolved but still requires more data to present to Avaya. Thanks to yankblan for pointing me in the right direction. This is a MWI burst of information. The fibre fed ONT device has a back end(at least with Bell) of Broadsoft as opposed to dms-100. I spoke to our techs in that department and they had run into a similar situation in Quebec. He was able to turn off the MWI indicator. Note that the customer did NOT have voicemail active on the line. The MWI is separate and left on whether or not they have have voicemail. After having it disabled I remained on site and no phantom rings for over an hour. He confirmed that this is standard operation of the Fibre to the business line. The burst occurs every half hour.
Going forward the people in that department will be testing with Our Avaya support group to see what can be done in future releases to stop the Avaya from ringing. Obviously there is an issue here with the Avaya as it only rings on certain releases. If I hear any more info I'll post here."

Freedom Essentials vs. Digital Voice?

Can anyone help me as to why I would choose one over the other?
Last week, while doing my research, Digital Voice was not available, so I thought it was going to be Freedom Essentials.
Today, when I went by the Verizon shop, I learned that Digital Voice is now an option.
The only thing the CSR could tell me is that it ends up being "$10 to $15 savings per month because taxes are less."
When I asked for hard numbers and/or examples, he did not have an answer.
Are taxes and or fees really that much less on a VOIP product?
The CSR also claimed the quality is better, but that is not my experience with other VOIP products.
The only other thing that might be in my future is a monitored alarm system. It's my understanding that these don't play well with VOIP solutions.
Thanks,
Eric

Verizon digital voice behaves just like copper POTS until it reaches the Central Office, at which point it is distributed via internet until it leaves the CO at the receiving end and travels by regular copper network to the call destination. The beauty is that you escape the $6.50 interstate access charge and have much more control over features like voice mail, call forwarding etc through the web-based Call Manager.

No digital voice for Fios early adopters in PA

Still do not understand why I cannot get this service when it is available to new customers in my area. I was the first to switch to Fios in early 2007. I have three phone lines and two separate bills. Call Assist is limited and not working on the single line I installed it on. I am forced to switch from Verizon Iobi which is being discontined as a paid program feature. My calls to support and request for superisors are going unanswered. There was a complete Service outage all day last Saturday. I was hoping this first time event meant they were upgrading the service for current users. Otherwise I am a raving FIOS fan. This is really souring my experience.

Hello Gapa,
Fios Digital Voice migrations of existing accounts were placed on hold and the ability removed from systems which is why you were not getting the result you were looking for. There is no escalation that will result in modification of the process at this time. However this is not permanent and the process has already been engaged for 2 states. Once PA goes live you will be notified of the option and ability to migrate at that time.
Thank you
