STRANGER GETS MY LAND LINE NUMBER FROM MY IPHONE CALL

Using my iPhone, I called a stranger in error. He answered, whereby I realized my mistake. Instead of being courteous, as I should have been, and saying, "Sorry, wrong number," I simply hung up. This apparently upset him, because he subsequently called my land line and left a threatening message, telling me never to call again. So, hmmm, how did he get my land line number? I'm guessing because it showed up, on his end, when I initially called him with my iPhone. It was associated with or attached to my iPhone number. I know that when a certain relative calls me, more than one of her numbers shows up on my call-back notification.
What do I do to prevent this? I must be able to control and limit the information about me that people I call can get.

There's absolutely no way your land line # was transmitted as CID when calling from your iPhone. If this person found out your land line #, he looked it up based on the name and/or cell # of your iPhone.
The only way he could have your land line show when you called his cell phone is if he already has your full contact info in his phone, including your land line - i.e. you are already known to him.
To avoid this in the future:
1. Disable caller id: Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > OFF
2. If you don't want to do that, have your carrier transmit only your cell # without your name. Your name can still be researched, but usually require payment
3. Get an unlisted land line phone.
4. Research all the things that can be done with a baseball bat.

Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number, IMEI, and possibly the MEID.
The manufacturer ID will not help you locate the iPad, though. If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored).
If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline?

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline? When I press a mobile number in contacts, the phone automatically phones the number. I do not mind this as I hardly ever send texts, but I would like to have the option of what to do. This seems such an obvious issue but I can not solve it even with much web searching. Thanks!

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?

Just setting up iCloud on my iMac, my problem is when trying to sign out/off from iCloud it comes up with a verification code that is being sent to my land line, I'd changed the numbers in my Apple ID and they show as changed but the land line number stil

Just setting up iCloud on my iMac 10.9.2, my problem is when trying to sign out/off from iCloud it comes up with a verification code that is being sent to my land line, I'd changed the numbers in my Apple ID and they show as changed but the land line number still shows as number that the verification code is being sent, I prompt "Don't have access to this phone" and that's no help at all. The only way I can sign out /off from iCloud is to uncheck everything that I wanted to keep in the cloud????
Thanks in advance for any help.

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

Get a UK Skype number from Japan

Hello,
Is it possible to get a UK skype number from Japan?
If it is possible, can I use this number to be displayed when I call Japanese customers?
(eg. they see a number something like, +44 xxx xxx)

Ok not got an RTX myself but have looked at them.
I presume you have got the RTX connected to your network via ethernet and also to the Spanish land line connected too. Sign into your Skype account on the RTX, I presume you have some calling credit on your Skype account.
Your RTX will ring on whichever incoming number that has been called, either the Spanish line or your Skype UK number.
Check the calling rates page for costs to call the UK. https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling. Open up the rates to United Kingdom, then check the Pay as You Go rates and select "view all PAYG rates". That will open up a tab with all the PAYG rates to the UK including mobiles and special numbers. Note that there is a connection charge too. General charges are 1.8p/min + 3.1p connection fee to landlines and 7.6p/min + 5.6p connection charge to UK mobiles
If you find yourself making a lot of UK calls then a subscription might give better value, but note there are two types of subscriptions, one type is only to UK landlines and the other is to UK landlines and mobiles.

TS2755 When I click on a IPhone number in contacts to send a message. It keeps trying to send the message to the land line. I deleted the whole contact and re-entered it. But, still wants to send to the land line instead of the IPhone.

When I try to send messages to another IPhone.
I go to contacts.
Touch IPhone number.
Type message.
Hit send.
Comes back to me.
"Can not send messages to land line"
Well I did not touch the land line number - I touched the IPhone number.
I have deleted the whole contact, and re-entered it.
I have turned the IPhone off and on.
Still I get this message on only two of my contacts.
HELP

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?

How to get master sales order number from delivery number

Hi All,
I need logic for getting master sales order number from available Delivery number.
Note: There can be many SO's in diffrent levels.
Finally i need to pick up master sales order no.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
I have a outbound delivery[VL03N] 'X' in my system .
Then for getting sales order no i am writing below code:
SELECT single vbelv vbeln
         from vbfa
         INTO (vbelv, vbeln)
         where vbeln   EQ p_vbeln AND
               vbtyp_n EQ 'J'.
Then vbelv i need to pick up master sales order no.
    SELECT vbelv vbeln
           from vbfa
           INTO TABLE i_so
           where vbeln   EQ l_vbelv AND
                 vbtyp_n EQ 'C'.
If i write code as above it is giving four sales orders which one of them is master sales order no!
Thanks,
Deep.

How to get input source line number

I wrote a XSLT transformation that checks the input XML for errors.
When the transformer finds a problem, it can terminate with <xsl:message terminate="yes">, which outputs the line number within the transformer XML source. I do so in my implementation to indicate errors.
But i need to output the line number of the input source, not that of the transformer source, because this is the location of the error.
Anybody knows how to do this?
How can i get the current line number of the input source XML text?

Hello Fritz!
XALAN reads the entire input file (SAX) before starting with transformation.
So overriding the input stream is no way to find this line number.
I think this would have to be a built-in XSLT functionality within the tag "xsl:message".

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

I want my land line, home phone as my caller ID, h...

This is 2012. I'm out of work and money. I only have a home phone with local service only. I have to use Skype for my 1 or 2 long distance calls per month. I'd like my home phone to be my caller ID. I can't receive txt messages that way, but I'd at least have a return number for those to see who it is. Everyone on the internet from google, youtube and "you name it", wants a cell phone number and I can't even afford anything, whether it's a cell phone or an "unused" extra number for a fee. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have businesses hang up on me because they think they are being pranked because of what they see on their screens when I call. In Los Angeles, two miles from my house can be a long distance call. Please Help those of us that are sincerely poor!!!! It would only take you 2 seconds longer to call my house for me to verify my land line. I would even be happy if you only did it for me. Please quit being so greedy and realize some of us are at "Rock bottom". In other words, no matter what, I'm not paying for anything else. Even though I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, not one more penny is being spent on anything. I have none. I already possess a return number and I'd like to use that one.

I have the same question for a different reason. Your text implies that we can use our land line numbers for Caller ID but the implementation doesn't allow it. Why not? i have a cell phone but don't want most people knowing or using it because it's rarely on and each call is separately charged. I want any callbacks to be on my land line. How do I make Caller ID show my land line number?

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.
