Prices for people calling me

Hi everyone,
I posted a little while back but no one replied to me so I thought I would repost it
I am off to work in the states in July and need a cheep way for people to contact me. I already have an online number which is an 020 (London) local rate number, will it make a difference in costs if they call me while I am outside the UK as opposed to inside the uk?
Thank you

It will make a difference only when calls are forwarded by your Skype account to a phone. If you are logged into Skype and receiving the calls from your London 020 number that way, it won't cost you anything extra. Forwarding calls from Skype to a phone will cost you, unless you have a subscription covering where those calls are going.
If you are forwarding calls from Skype to a US number (i.e., a mobile phone), you can cover those costs with an Unlimited USA & Canada subscription for GBP 1.99/month plus VAT (or US$ 2.99/month). If you don't opt for the subscription, you can use Skype Credit to cover the costs of those calls - 1.4p/minute plus VAT to USA landline or mobile phones, or 2.3 US cents/minute, plus the connect fee. Calls to Alaska are a little higher, 3p/minute plus VAT or 6 US cents/minute, plus the connect fee.
Good luck!

Obscene Prices for International Calls!!! What a Rip-Off!!!

I just took a look at my very first bill and to my surprise, my 10 year old had attempted to make 6 (1 minute calls) and 1 (29 minute call) to England to speak with her father. I admit it was partly my fault because with the last company they could just pick up the phone and call their father and I neglected to tell them that they could not do that anymore. Blah, blah, blah.....my 1st Verizon bill is $220.00 (@$100 or so in long distance charges for basically 1 call).
I called customer service to get some kind of relief but nothing. The advisor said that the billing is done by a 3rd party and that verizon can not do anything about it. I was a loyal Verizon cellular customer for 2 years, paying my bill on time and all and this is how they treat me.
I'm sorry...I know this blog si probably for people who have real issues but I needed to vent my frustration!!! I guess it's time to look for another carrier or go back to old one. For the sake of my sanity and wallet, I had a block put on my phone for international calls but how nice it would have been for Verizon to step up and do the right thing. They could have atleast put me on the international plan and backdated it!!!! GRINCH!!!! BTW, 1 minute call to England is $2.89 so don't make the same mistake!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm in bill shock too. I made one phone call to China and my bill was $200. When I called Verizon for help, they refused.
Actually the FCC received so many complaints about this issue related to cell phones that they were going to pass a law to regulate it. As a preemptive measure, many wireless carriers voluntarily agreed to send text messages to users when their charges were approaching their monthly limit. Unfortunately, there was no such action taken for landlines. Hence your and my situation.
It certainly would be a smart business decision for Verizon to include a voice alert on landlines warning you of the rate you are about to incur, as it would prevent these situations from happening, but they have yet to do so. Every time they do something like this, they lose a long-term customer for a quick profit.
Verizon is aware of the problem. It happens to millions of customers a year. But until people like you and I put pressure on the FCC to regulate them regarding landlines, nothing will change. So I encourage you to contact http://www.fcc.gov/

Using Skype like a landline for people to call me ...

Hi
Can anyone out there help me? I want to set up a VOIP number in Skype so that I can give it out to people who can call me on it at agreed times. People don't always want to call a mobile number for long conversations as it costs a lot and I do not want to give out my home number to everyone.
I am not sure what Skype calls this kind of set up or how to go about setting it up or how much it costs (ongoing and call costs) but I understand there is a way of doing it.

Hi and welcome to the community
The feature is called a Skype Online Number and it's a normal local number you will receive. You just pay for the Online Number subscription once and not for receiving calls.
Callers have to pay for a call to a local number in your network.

Is it allowed to use parts of an existing record for building a new song in Garageband, e.g. the rhythm part of that record? Is this what people call ripping or trimming? And if it is allowed, what is the procedure then?

Is it allowed to use parts of an existing record for building a new song in Garageband - e.g. the rhythm part of that record? Is this what people call ripping or trimming? And if it is allowed, what is the procedure then? Are there special programs for it?

unless you pay royalties to the copyright owner of that song, it's illegal to use someone else's recordings to build your own (which software you use doesn't enter the equation):

FaceTime asking for email address for people to call but it's already set up and won't skip, already on iPhone 4, want it on iPad

So my nan has just got an iPad for Christmas, she already has an iPhone 4 and her FaceTime account is already set up, but she would like it on her iPad as it is obviously bigger than her iPhone. However, FaceTime will not let her proceed when it asks for the email address for people to contact her on. It says that it is already in use??
We already know this but she wants to use the same account rather than create a new one just for her iPad, any help or advice would be muchh appreciated.
Thank You and Merry Christmas

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

My IPhone4 doesn't ring when people call me, but rings for alerts, texts, calendars..etc. What's wrong?? Also, it plays music through the speaker too....

My IPhone does not ring when someone calls me. This started happening a few days ago. It will ring if I get a text message or an alert of some sort but it just won't ring when someone calls me. It vibrates, just doesnt ring...Why is that?

I am having the exact same problem. If the phone is locked, when people call me, it goes to voicemail. My phone never rings and I never get a visual notification until it is too late. Similar problem with texts and emails when locked. No sound and no visual notification. I am a REALTOR. My phone is my lifeline. If it doesn't ring, it's a very expensive paper weight...

This is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel.

this is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel and don't want to unplug everything from the apple tv and take it with them, you can get the amazon fire tv stick and download an app called airplay upnp or the reflector app and mirror all of your apple devices to it, it is great for traveling easy to setup and move around, for example if your traveling and want to use it in the conference room and then want to take with you back to the hotel for the night and plug it in and keep on doing that routine.
it will be great to use hopeful until apple comes out apple with their own apple tv stick

The Verizon DVR is admittedly not the sharpest box on the market. I admit to giving up on the multi-room DVR product, it just never worked satisfactorily for me.
Hopefully features/functions issues will improve in the near term with the Cisco/Scientific Atlanta box that obviously isn't going to make Q1. I admit I have ceased holding my breath. Something does have to happen fairly soon because 160gb drives are literally going out of production.
You do however make two statements that incorrect. Current TiVO's only need 1 cable card, since the standard cable card today in Verizon's stock is the M-Card. You also have the option with TiVO of paying either an annual fee, or a one time fee, both of which are lower in the long term than the month to month fee. Alternatively you can by the Moxi DVR, and it includes lifetime service in the purchase price.
While in theory a truck roll costs $79, in practice if it is for a Cable Card install, it is free (I think FCC regulations preclude the charge).
Apparently there is nothing in Verizon's order processing system that tells reps that there is no charge for Cable Card installations, so they often quote the $79 fee because that is the standard charge for technician to come out. As far as I can tell (and there have been lots of posts about cable card installs), no one has in fact been charged the $79 fee..

Deleting single row from Special Price for Business Partners

Hi Experts,
How would I go about about deleting a single row from Special Prices for Business Partners across all BPs when for most of my BPs this is the only special price they have. I have tried using Copy Discounts function but once you are down to 0 rows the record has effectively gone from the table so there is nothing to copy.
Hopefully I won't have to go thorugh 5000 records and delete each one idividually.
Thanks
Jon

How hard can it be to get a price for DPS Enterprise?

Is the Enterprise License made from Unicorn tears or what?
We have now spent three hours on three separate calls to Adobe enquiring about the cost of an Enterprise license. We are Adobe Pro users, and find it bizarre that no-one in the wide Adobe world appears to be able to be prepared to even guestimate a price for us.
But Adobe's support network is really good at passing us on to another department, in another country, to another department in another country until "our office is now closed".
Today, on attempt no 3 the Adobe sales person cut me off. She then called my phone and left me a voicemail message, during which she put my voicemail on hold. Yes, she put my voicemail on hold…

Hi Renny,
I work for MEI, Adobe's top reseller for the DPS product. We're working with a number of customers moving from Pro to Enterrpise and I'd be happy to help you as well. We also have some value-add products and services to help you make the most out of the DPS Enterprise platform like our recently announced MEI Portico solution.
Please feel free to email me at the address below. I also sent you a PM with my cellphone.
Best,

HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls. please help as I use it for conference calls

Hi I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers. It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Why are people calling saying I called them?

Over the last few months I've been periodically getting people calling me from numbers I don't recognize. I don't answer (I prefer to call unfamiliar numbers back after they leave a voicemail unless I'm actually waiting for a call) and when I check the voicemail, it's someone saying that I spam-called them and asking me to either call them back to get things sorted out or to "take [them] off [my] automatic call list." I've gotten multiple calls of each type over the last few months, with about 6 of the calls in total.
Has this been happening to anyone else? And is this a new form of spam, where people call me expecting me to call back so they can try to sell me something (seems doubtful)? Or could someone have really hijacked my phone number somehow and been calling these people behind my number as a mask of some sort (more likely, but how can someone actually do this?)? If the second option, I fear that it may have happened to many others who didn't bother to call me back and my number may end up listed somewhere on a spam block list or something.
Do you think if I went into a local Verizon store they'd be able to help me with this?

I think its just another telemarketing tactic. I've gotten calls like that. Last night I got one and after I told them I didn't call them, they tried to sell me a burial plot.

How do I get the subsidized price for a new phone when I already have a plan?

I have been a Verizon customer since September. I have a dumb phone, and I'm really having trouble keeping up with my life. Now that the Droid 4 is coming out in February I've decided that it's time to upgrade. The Droid is coming out at $199 with a two year contract, I think. My question is, what do I have to do to get the subsidized price for the phone? In my current contract I can't upgrade until 2013. Should I cancel that contract all together and just pay the ETF? Then get a new contract with the new phone? Can I even do that? Also, would there be any way to keep my phone number in this situation?
Thanks for your help, Verizon Community!

Ok I kno it ***** but here is what i have done in the past when i had your same situation I have been a VW customer for about 13 years so i had old equipment lying around that i could use but If you are a new verizon customer you will have to find an older phone that does not require a monthly data package. You say you have a dumb phone so your old equipment mite all ready work for this. Here is what you do
Go to Verizon and get the new phone you want tell them you will be adding a line to your account so you can sign up and get the new Droid 4 phone for the discounted price of $199 tell them you want to add the phone to your plan and convert your existing plan to a family plan this should be around the same price as you are currently paying unless you have an unlimited plan. But there is an extra monthly charge of $10 more per month per xtra phone on the plan up to 4 + the 1 original phone. so you are allowed 5 total on a family plan.
Then the following day you transfer the new phone to your old number and vise versa.
You now shut off the old phone and put it in a draw. You now have the new phone you want and dont have to pay the early term fee. the early term fee is pro rated so every month it will go down by $5-$10 per month im not sure exactly how much. You can call verizon and ask exactly how much it is
Although this way it will end up costing you $240 24mo x $10 you do not have to pay it all up front and if you ever have a problem with your droid ie (breaks,stolen,loss) you have a back up that will be ready to go Plus you get to keep your current number
Hope this helps
Actually, if you are not ALREADY on a Family Plan, it WILL end up costing you more than this extra $10/month. For example, if you are on the 450 minute Individual Plan, you are paying $40/month and possibly $20/month for unlimited texting. The smallest Family Plan(700 minutes/month) would put you at $70/month and if you want the same unlimited texting, it would be an additional $30/month. This is $100/month vs $60/month on an Individual Plan which comes out to an additional $40/month x 19 months(24 months - 5 months you have already completed on your original line) = $760 ADDITIONAL you would pay until you could cancel your original line. If you wanted to keep your original #, though, you would instead pay an ADDITIONAL $960($40 x 24 months) until you could cancel your new line. Either way, it would MUCH cheaper to just pay full retail for the new phone.
Remember, this is ONLY if you are currently on an Individual Plan and change to a Family Plan with 2 phones. If you are currently on a Family Plan with others, and have the ability to add an additional line, your additional payments would not be this high.

RFC Adapter Receiver - change SAP User for each call

Hi guys,
I need to create one connection between PI and SAP, all right, i can use RFC Adapter Receiver, no problem.
But, for each call i need to use User and Password different, then, I would pass SAP User and Password in my XML Payload.
Can anybody help me, please?

hi,
>>But, for each call i need to use User and Password different, then, I would pass SAP User and Password in my XML Payload.
sure we can help you but no in this way:)
it is possible to change the user for RFC adapter but using
principal propagation:
/people/alexander.bundschuh/blog/2007/01/16/principal-propagation-in-sap-xi
this is the way you need to go and not send password in XML payload
(this is certainly not the way and no client will approve it)
why use a password is anyone can see it ?

How do I hide my name for phone calls

How can i set my bb classic so that only my number shows up for incoming calls (my name hidden to the caller) and for outgoing calls (my name hidden to the person I'm calling)?

Basically you can't do what you want. You can go to settings and check to 'not show phone number' when making a call. The Caller ID is handled by your carrier, you certainly can try but I don't think you'll be successful in having them remove your name. You might able to get them to change it for example to your company name. There are lots of people making calls with VOIP phones doing robo calls to sell you stuff that have solftware that allows them to play games with their caller ID but that's outside your scope. Lastly, lots of people don't answer calls when you block your number (it shows up Caller ID Blocked) but you can decide on that..

Please help ... have new samsung ativ se windows 8 phone ... screen lock is on to require password, but on incoming calls its not locked ... how do i lock it for incoming calls too ???? thanks

please help ... have new samsung ativ se windows 8 phone ... screen lock is on to require password, but on incoming calls its not locked ... how do i lock it for incoming calls too ???? thanks

Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
It's not possible with Windows Phone 8. What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.
