Roaming charges-need some clarity

Okay, we have a 5 phone plan with US Cellular and are thinking about switching to Verizon. I want to know that I understand the roaming charges correctly. One of those phones spends most of its time with coverage only from a US Cellular tower that I know Verizon phones will roam on. If I get the 2000 Minute family plan, using the phone on a US Cellular tower will use my minutes at all times, even if I am calling another VZW phone? Nights and Weekends? But the Unlimited doesn't?
Also, is free from any Verizon phone to another Verizon phone if you are both on Verizon towers ? From anywhere with the Unlimited plan
Thanks.

Here is some information on Verizonwireless calling plans for roaming, mobile to mobile and nights and weekends.

I need some clarity

As scheduled in the roadworks thing I saw, work was to be performed on my road (by UK POWER NETWORKS (EDF ENERGY)) no doubt to power up the fibre cabinet, and this morning four vans appear, working on the cabinet again. When walking by I asked an OR guy how much longer it would be and he said not long at all now, so I can only assume they're almost ready to make it live (hopefully anyway).
Anyway, I need some clarity if the cabinet does go live very soon.
1) I'm currently with BE, who have begun getting a reputation of losing customers due to them holding back on fibre products and having network capacity problems. To switch to BT I presume I ask for a migration authorisation code and then phone BT and give them that whilst making the order (or would it be better if I ordered on the website)? My phone line itself is with BT, not BE.
2) When I signup to Infinity eventually, I would also like to scrap anytime phone calls as I plan to use VOIP/SIP technologies instead. What would be the best way to do this? Should I arrange this just before I order Infinity, or should I arrange this after I've been activated on Infinity?
3) How accurate are line estimations for fibre currently? For example, I get roughly 19mbit sync on ADSL2+ Annex A at 3dB SNR with BT giving an estimate of 17.5mbit. I presume with fibre the estimation BT gives is rather conservative and is usually slightly 5%-10% higher in reality, unless of course you have a seriously bad line riddled with joints or what not? I consider my line quite good, with a 25.5dB attenuation at the mentioned sync and SNR.
4) I'm not racist or anything, but I prefer talking to people in the UK, preferably with a English accent as I can understand them clearly. How is this typically with BT? And if it's not typically speaking to people in a UK call centre then is there a way I can, if needed, speak to someone in the UK (or is it just a matter of ringing back until someone from the UK answers my call)?
5) Throttling; Based on the experiences people have had with Infinity, how has your experience been with this? I understand BT's throttling policy is targetted at P2P, which assumably covers services such as torrent, not actual downloads from websites or FTP. I have read the fair usage policy so there's no need to direct me to that, I just want to know the experiences of users on Infinity themselves.
And finally...
6) I have a Cisco 887VA router, which does ADSL2+ and VDSL2 (up to 100mbit, 17a Profile), after BT Openreach have installed their modem can I at a later time (e.g. after the 10 day settling period they recommend) change it so that my Cisco 887VA router directly connects to the VDSL socket, or is this against BT's agreement?
Thanks in advance.

1 - Yep a MAC should be fine.
2 - do it at the time of ordering Infinity
3 - Pretty accurate, in fact most seem to be quite conservative
4 - Technical help is based offshore
5 - In my experience and according to BT only P2P is throttled
6 - you should be able to use it. Quite a lot of people use the Draytek kit with no issues

I have seen this problem here and other forums but I need some clarity.

Hey-
(Sorry for the quick post, but I wanted to get this out there before I take off across the country so I might have some help when I am in NY by some help on here.)
I purchased my first iPod this past Christmas. it was the iPod Nano 6 gen. I did a ton of research, read many post on various forums, and all the negative comments (except one) I felt I could live without, because I had not gotten use to any configuration of the Nano and the complaints seemed to not affect needing the Nano for exercising.
The main problem with not being able to turn the Nano off or at least get it to a state where very little power was used seemed to be what was causing so much strife among new users. I thought I would read the posts, do some research, read the little manual that came with the Nano and the larger manual online at apple.com and figure out how Apple meant for this machine to be "turned off."
I charged the pup up when I got it, changed my earphones to the new in the earphones and headed off to the gym. Since I had already done a considerable amount of research and played around with it to become familiar with the buttons and all before I it the gym, I felt I was OK to go for a workout. Since this was my very firs iPod, I had some challenges in synching the machine wit iTunes. I think I just need to understand the whole synch process ad probably do it manually. I turned the machine on when I got to the gym, got some tunes playing and hit the sleep/wake button so it would be a dark screen and save as much power as possible. I was actually shocked at how much power was used during the hour workout, especially since I did not play wit it at all during the workout.
After the workout, I had learned from some people who were a bit more patient with finding oiut the best way to get the machine to use the least amount of power until their next use of the Nano. so, I turned the volume all the way down, paused the music that was playing, removed the earphones from the jack, and pressed the sleep/wake button in hopes I would have some power the next time I went to use it, which was the next day. That first workout it used about ½ of the battery icon and when I went to turn it on the next day for another workout I was shocked to see ¼ of the battery still charged.
so, my questions or the main question is, despite all of my research on how the company meant for this machine to be put to sleep in-between uses, despite what I mentioned above what I did, is there any latest new from Apple out about why the battery hold such a crappy charge? Even following what the major Nano manual stated and even Applecare, the battery energy loss between one day was a shocker. I have read where people have not experienced this problem, but my question is does anybody know how Apple recommends that one leave the Nano when it is not in use? I understand it goes into a deep sleep after something like 36 hours, which seems insane to pick 36 hours. Also, if anybody has been able to figure out how Apple has built this machine to be put to sleep, I would really appreciate some help here.
I have heard from many people that they can't have the Nano go to an off position because of the clock but come-on, there are many other tech devices that have a clock and are able to be put to sleep. You can still make a device to be put to sleep and still get the little energy it needs to keep the battery charged.
any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Let me recap on what I have learned from my research to do when not in use to keep as much energy as possible. First, make sure the volume is all the way down by the sound "waves" are not coming out of the display speaker make sure whatever is playing is on pause, make sue the pedometer is off, unplug the earphones, press the sleep/wake bottom and your good to go until you use it next. However this does not keep my battery from drawing a significant amount of power so that I have a decent amount of power for the next workout. I can't believe this is such an issue when the earlier Nanos had much more uses and must have needed much more power to even keep things working during the Sleep time.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on a dialup connection, using Web acceleration software?
If so, try disabling the web accelerator. Does the download go through for you properly then?

Need some clarity on e-Commerce 5.0 for mySAP ERP

Digging through the documentation I can find, I still can't make sufficient sense as to what, exactly, is required to get e-Commerce 5.0 for mySAP ERP up and running. If we have an ECC 6.0 backend (ABAP stack only), what needs to be put into place? From what I've heard it's supposed to be a pretty quick and simple thing to get up and running, but the documentation I've found so far just muddies the water quite a bit!

HI,
I can obtain detailed description of product on russian after i installed SAP E-commerce for SAP ERP version 7.0 instead of version 5.0.

Hi Experts need some clarity on these topics

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please guide me through the following questions
1. What is summit implementation menthodology?
2. What is the use of these different sevices?
u2013 Shared Query Engine
u2013 File Service
u2013 Authentication
3. Who will be the System Administrator( who can create App Sets)?
How many Application Administrators will be in the team (who can create Applications)?
Thanks and Regards,
Sireesha.

Hello,
The Summit implementation methodology was a methodology used by Outlooksoft to implement the product. After the acquisition of Outlooksoft by SAP and gthe subsequent rebranding of the product into BPC, SAP has integrated different sets of implementation methodologies into the SAP ASAP (Accelerated SAP) methodology, which is SAP's way of doing things. Currently, SAP Expertise centers are rolling out these methodologies into BPC projects.
Shared query engine: is the query engine BPC uses in the background to get queries and results back and from the server. Depending on the type of input the user has done/report the user need, the engine decides how to get this request handled, where to store the data and where to get the results from. The shared query engine runs on the application server.
File Service: whenever you store pre-built reports onto the server or datafiles to be used in datamanager, basically anything that involves the user, admin or system doing something with files, these files are stored in the Webfolders (altough these may be called BPC folders these days) directory and the file service hadles this traffic.
Authentication: well basically you have user authentication setup using the security setup from BPC 9in the Admin tasks). This restricts users to have access to certain tasks, entities or other secured diemnsions. So the whole security setup determines authenticication on the server to what a user is allowed to do, see, to input or to edit. Then you have also authentication in the backend (between servers). This is osmething an admin should not worry to much about as the system is supposed to handle this for you. For instance, a datamanager package authenticates itself at the SQL server to store data into its tables. So there is a system authentication service too that decides if a datamanager job is allowed to talk to this SQL server instance. But agina, these technical authnetications probalby should not worry you as an admin or superuser as the system handles those. Of course IT people might e interested to figure out what services need certain types of authentication, but in general, even they should not bother too much as this all comes with the BPC design and they cannot do a lot about it anyway, just give the correct rights to certain services (as described in the installation manual)
Finally, how many admins can there be ?
Well you will have a pute technical systems admin somewhere who handles master password and stuuf. But that person is not a BPC admin in the true sense. Again, any IT organisation has those people. From the functional side, you should of ocurse have at least one admin, but you can vary the number based on functional requirements or maybe requirements that come from a segregation of duties principle that has been determined by an audit department. In general, you will find that the audit guys want as little admins as possible, but from an operational perspective it is normal to have at least 2 or 3 people who "manage" the system form a functional perspective.
Hope this helps,

Need some clarity on memory specifics

I am so confused about what type of memory is correct for my imac after reading all the other post, i have a G4 imac flat with 800mhz, can i install a 1 GB SODIMM DDR2-667 PC2-5400 made for coreduo imac powerbook g4 into my computer?? I saw in other post that flat panel imac can use this type of RAM, before i buy it i want to be sure that it works. Please let me know. Thanks

The answer is yes that is right chip for user slot but need tech expert to change installed chip-this is what I did.
I have been going crazy with this memory thing but finally figured it out. I think the problem is 1) memory for certain old Macs is difficult to find and especially to match up 2) this particular model was very unique and I love mine but they only lasted 2 years. In 2002, 3 models came out, all different. In early 2003 Jobs cut down to 2 models. All the memory upgrades have to be specific to the exact model you have.
I had to 1)check my machine for the data 2) contact Apple support for instructions on how to install. (And store does not carry any upgrade for these models-they are "obsolete".) I did find a great company though (don't waste your time with cheapies trying to get a bargain). It is IRAM and can be purchased through Newegg.com for about $80 (list is $100). But even they were wrong about the exact chip! (a 512K for user sot)
It looks like we have the wrong specs on the configurator. You should use iRam part # IR512MSOSD.(from IRAM tech)
this was my question:
I sent earlier email about mem addition upgrade. I have a 2002 15" model and Apple manual states it has 144 pin So Dim slot. Also max expansion is 1 GB.
I-Ram specs:
ac G4 Flat Panel User Slot 15-inch 800MHz
DDR 333MHz, 200-pin SODIMM
Upgrade Options
Capacity iRam Part #
512MB IR512MSO333D
1GB IR1GSO333D
Machine Details
Max Memory:
2GB
# of Slots:
1
Will the 512 MB work even though it states 200 pin as opposed to 144pin?
So I got right one and now am running about 5 faster than before with no "thinking world" hang-ups and still use dial-up! So get one of these and use Mac support site and in 5 minutes you will be much happier with this very classic Mac!

I need some clarity on stealth mode

I've enabled stealth mode on my laptop, but I can still see my "Mark Goodchild's Laptop" on another computer in a Finder window under "Shared." Is that right?

So the ability for another computer to see mine on a network in the Finder is on a different level...
Yes. Just have File Sharing on so people on the same network can connect to your Mac.

And believe me, the roaming charges are truly frightening!
But in those spots where 4G/LTE works ok, speed is outstanding. So they can stick you with a HUGE roaming charge in a jiffy.....

To avoid roaming charges when traveling internationally, do i put my iphone on airplane mode only or do i also need to turn off data and voice roaming

I have an iphone 4 with sprint which can't take a sim card. To avoid roaming charges while traveling internationally, do i put my phone on airplane mode.
I read you need to turn off cellular and voice data roaming as well but when I turn on airplane mode, it seems like roaming is automatically turned off.
Is this true?

Turning on Airplane Mode will prevent the phone from getting roaming charges as it cant connect to a cell tower.
P.S you can have WiFi on and still be in Airplan Mode. Just turn Airplane Mode on first, then turn the WiFi on

Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

Huge Global Roaming charges and no alerts!!

Recently traveled to London for a week and was wary of making sure the iPhone would work and not have crazy fees. Talked to VZW customer service before leaving and they assured that the phone was set up to work fine and would provide text message alerts for data usage that exceeded $25,$50,etc.
Got to London, phone did not work at all. Spent a very frustrating 1st two days there trying to get it to work with VZW telling me it should work fine.
Finally got a service rep on the phone and he went through and made some 'changes' on VZW's end which made the iPhone work in London. Had a great trip after that but then I got the bill--> $837 in data roaming charges for 41Mb of data! Did not get a single data use $ alert message on this the whole trip.
I could not be more unhappy at this bait and switch.
-Mike.

MikeP111
What exactly was the bait? Where did they switch? Did you verify that a global data plan was added to your account? If not, the $837 in data makes sense as it's over $20 per MB.
