Placing a call through the internal módem

Hello everyone. I'm using a D-Link BlueTooth dongle and a bt headset to speak through Skype but due to the fact that I have free national phone calls with my operator I don´t want to use Skype for regular calls. Instead, I want to use the internal modem. I remember the times where 14.4K was a huge speed and there where plenty of Window-based programs which let you use your computer as a fax or a phone, but it seems they're gone right now..., at least in OSX. I've found some programs running on Windows which lets yo do so, but none in OSX. As far as I know, Jon's PhoneTool dials the number, but does not act as an audio gateway. Is there any program with which I could use my bt headset to speak with people using my modem?. Thanks

Take a look at Parliant's PhoneValet:

Using your Mac as a fax machine is built-in to Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4. Just open your Print & Fax System Preferences to configure it.

  • Placing a call through the internet tablet

    I am thinking of purchasing the 770 internet tablet. I also have a nokia N70. When the two are connected via bluetooth will I be able to place a regular call (not internet) to a contact?

    Not using the 770 (note, that it has been replaced by the newer N800, so consider getting that, instead).

  • Placing, and receiving calls through the iPhone's dock connector.

    Can calls be placed and received through the iPhone's dock connector?
    For example, assume you have a device, with two connectors, an iPhone dock, and a telephone jack. The device would allow you to connect a standard phone, cordless phone base station, fax machine, etc, and make calls using your iPhone cell service instead of you landline.

    No, that can not be done.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • I have a G5 power PC dual 2ghz  10.5.8 and my recording interface stopped outputting. I used 2 different interfaces and changed cables, neither solved my problem. With everything plugged up i can hear playback through the internal speaker.

    I have tried System preferences, input and output. I have tried the midi controls in utilities. With everything hooked up correctly I cannot get the interface to playback through the box or record now. When i hit play I can hear the playback coming through the internal speaker on the tower. The interface previously worked fine, bought a second one and it is doing the same thing. Must be a system issue. Please help!

    Because your receiver may not be working anymore. Use http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630 to troubleshoot this

    I managed to find a solution to my problem described above. I downloaded a demo copy of the shareware called R-Tools which I found on Tucows.com
    The site described the software thus: "Take advantage of R-Studio's unique ability to recover files and disks on remote computers, even if their partition structures are damaged or deleted."
    The demo software searched my ipod and found all my photos and showed them as thumbnails. Of course the demo software would not save the files unless I registered it which cost US$49.95. There are several different suites of applications from this publisher, I got the cheapest option which is called "R-Studio FAT".
    I didn't mind paying this amount because the photos were very precious to me and by this point I had just about resigned myself to losing them all. I had previously contacted a professional data recovery service and they had quoted me "AUD$80 per hour and probably 1 to 2 hours work".
    I've been too busy organising my newly recovered photos into galleries and editing them using photoshop to be bothered to try and fix my ipod which I doubt I will want to use again for photo storage.

  • Recording an acoustic guitar through the internal mic - quality terrible

    Hey guys,
    I have had my MacBook Pro for almost a year now, and since I got it I always used Garageband to record stuff straight from my acoustic through the internal mic. Now, it seems like after 5 or so seconds, the sound quality goes way down, and I get some sort of flange-like effect. Everything starts sounding really muddy and the strumming turns into really bass-y noise. I haven't made any changes or anything, and I tried it with vocals and guitar, guitar, and vocals, each have the same effect. The sound quality sounds fine on playback for the first few seconds and then it drops. No effects are enabled - its on basic track.
    Any suggestions? This is extremely irritating!
    Thanks for your time,
    Jon

    hey there skank,
    i don't know what's wrong w/ your Mac, but it maybe time to invest in an external mic, an outboard mixer or a digital(FW/USB) interface & mic combo. i don't think the internal is the greatest for making music. just a thought. a mdest mixer from Behringer is around $60.00 & a decent cardioid dynamic mic is around $80.00-100.00.
    good luck.

  • How do I connect my laptop to my Linksys wireless router through the internal wireless card?

    I just purchased a gateway laptop and was trying to hook my Linksys wireless router up to it. Ive gotten it hooked up but only through the secondary device (that catches the signal)... I was wondering if there is anyway that I could make my internal wireless internet card a point or no? Can I only connect it to the USB network adapter or is there really a way to go COMPLETELY wireless? Thank you for your time...

    Is your internal wireless card enabled? Go to device manager and make sure it is enabled.

  • Cannot answer or make a call through the actual phone

    Hello...
    Has anyone experienced this issue yet. I have installed 2.0 on my 1st gen phone and am experiencing many fo the issues reported here (lagging, freezing...etc). Today, I walked out of work and tried calling my wife and it would show the call was connected, however i could not hear or speak to her. i tried this several times and then finally hit the speaker button and everything was normal (I could hear and speak). I tried everything again when i got home and i continue to run into the same issue. I have reset the phone, checked all the settings... i dunno, anyone have any advice
    Thanks

    It turned out to be the headphone jack for me, something inside it was cathching or something... making the phone think it had headphones still plugged into it. I would try there, i just removed and inserted the headphones into a few times and it released whatever was catching(Play your i pod at the same time, once it releases you should hear music through the speaker)... (I had just bought a different pair of headphones, so I'm not sure if that caused it?)

  • Linked Calls through the API

    Hi all,
    We are currently working on a web form that we want to have create a number of calls. Ideally we`d like a parent call and a couple of linked calls which would be created from the form through the API.
    Looking at the doco, it seems you should be able to use the 'aCustomParameters’ field to achieve this. However, I`ve just seen KB 2010464 which seems to indicate that it may not be quite as simle as this (in 9.0 anyway).
    Just wondering if anyone has actually done this.
    We're currently on 9.1.5.
    Cheers,
    Ray

    Hi Ray,
    I am really not sure what this KB article is refering to but you souldn't blindly rely on every sentence has been written. Even in the knowledge base. Especially when VMware had never paid much attention to this product, unfortunately.
    In my opinion (you should take it with caution as well) you have different options to link calls through API:
    * Using CallUpdate transaction
    * Using ExecuteQueryAction transaction with a standard query "UPDATE CALL LINK"
    * Using ExecuteQueryAction transaction with your custom query (I guess that KB article is suggesting to use this particular method when referencing professional services help.)
    Take in account that it's very important to supply required parameters (yes, as aCustomParameters) when using the first or the second option:
    1. When updating a Child Call:
    PARENT_CHILD = "C"
    LINKED_CALL_NO = [PARENT_CALL_NUMBER]
    UPDATE_LINKED_CALL_NO = [PARENT_CALL_NUMBER]
    2. When updating a Parent Call:
    PARENT_CHILD = "P"
    That's it. Looks quite simple but... you have to be very careful when doing this - many related things should be checked or considered along with linking: are both calls not locked, how impact value should be recalculated and changed accordingly, how to update calls history to reflect the linking event, security check through partitions and system roles settings and maybe many others. I believe this is one of key reasons why KB is suggesting to request professional services to create a solution for Calls linking through API.
    Still if you will decide to try and you will come across with any question, please don't hesitate to ask.
    Regs, Gytis

  • HT204387 I just updated my Iphone 4S to the new IOS. I have a sync sytem in my car that allows me to connect music and cell phone call through the vehicle. Since the update my phone is no longer finding the sync sytem to connect to.

    I just updated my iphone 4s to the new ios update. My car is a sync system that connects through bluetooth. I go to my bluetooth setting to search for devices and it wont find any. I believed it to be that my car that was the problem; but my sister has the same update on her iphone and was able to connect to my car no problem. please help!!!

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
