The Speaking Clock call charge

I phoned the Speaking Clock (123) this morning to find out the correct time to reset my clocks for daylight saving time. About 50 minutes later I realised that I had accidentally left the phone off the hook. I can't remember whether I disconnected the call after getting the time or not -- if I didn't disconnect the call and I was connected to the Speaking Clock for nearly an hour, would there be a huge bill? I know it's 31p to call the Speaking Clock but no idea how much it would cost for a 50 minute call and I'm quite worried about that. Does anyone know or would the call just disconnect itself automatically? Thanks

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Calls to timeline are currently 32.5 including vat (for residential). It's a fixed fee call from a BT line :-

Speaking clock call / BT Web chat

Hello Forum,
Can anyone decipher this?:
*transcript removed*

I was not surprised to see the transcript removed as posting of personal BT communcations on the forum is not allowed. Having read it earlier, I can confirm that it was gobbledygook and I'm fairly sure that other forum members would have struggled to solve your problem. I suggest that you contact the BT Care Team; they are the moderators who oversee the forum and will be able to look into it for you. They may take a few days to respond but you will get an immediate online acknowledgement with a reference number to note in case you need to follow up. It will be OK to quote the transcript in your message to the Care Team.
I've read it too and to me it looks like Claire is being charged for calls to the speaking clock (123) when she's not making the calls (she was out during the time the last one occured). Plus she did say only the hub is connected to the line.
If she can answer John's Q's, a customer may be able to solve it
Some Q's from me. What version hub is it and are these calls being charged to your normal landline number or possibly a BBT number?

So sound is coming out of the speaker for calling people on 5s

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'm reading that as "No sound is coming out of the speaker…"
If so, please follow the steps in this article for help.

Speaking clock, twice?

Hi
I downloaded the English voice Serena for the speaking clock, every 30 mins. This was after I'd started using it with the default voice.
I now get 2 announcements, not quite at the same moment. How do I turn off the default voice please?

I have the same problem!! It lead to many other problems with my phone
I just arranged a repair with apple. Yes its inconvenient to be without a phone for a while but if your phone is in warranty its good to get it looked at professionally!

HT204380 How can I make a face time call from one country to another( supporsing both parties using iphone 4s). What will be the caller charges. If there is no charges as we use wifi, will there be a charge till connecting the call?

FaceTime is free to use. You will not be charged for using FaceTime.

When receiving phone calls, the background apps play through the speaker making it impossible to hear the person on the other line. How do i fix this? This started happening on my iphone 4 and now i have the same problem with my iphone 4s.

I once had a phone call in the middle of a trip. I was listening to my music and phone rang. It was work calling. I answered the phone and the music continued to play. I had to tell the person to hold, then i had to use multitask to find the app and manually turn it off. Once that was done, i retrurned to the phone call to find out that when i receive an email it too plays through the speaker while i am on the phone. Why wouldn't it mute these things while i am making a phone call? Is there a setting for this? It seems to me that this only happened since IOS 5, but i can't be 100%. What i am 100% on is the fact that it happened on my Iphone 4 and is now happening on my Iphone 4s.

The music continued to play with the iPod?
If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.
HELP!!!!!!!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

TS1630 CANNOT HEAR ANYONE ON A CALL UNLESS I TURN ON THE SPEAKER THEN I CAN HEAR

hi all have a problem with iphone that when i get a call the only way to hear it is to turn on the speaker .

Hey bernssh,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues with your primary handset microphone. If there was a potential hardware issue with the primary handset microphone, there is a good chance you would not experience the issue in Speakerphone, as this utilizes a separate microphone. To isolate the issue further, and ultimately determine if it is indeed hardware related, please see the following articles:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
Thanks,
Matt M.

Accessing the "speaker phone" during a call.

Once I am in a call, how do I activate the speaker phone? While on the call, the "keypad" shows, but there seems to be no way to turn on the speaker phone. The only time I can put my call on the speaker is before I connect with the party I am calling. Many a time in the past few days, especially while "on hold" it would have been easier to lay the phone down and turn the speaker on. I can't do that once in the call.

Phil:
You show two screens. Let's call them the "black" screen and the "white" screen.
When I go into "contacts" and I select a person I want to call in my contact list, and I use the little phone icon in the contact list to initiate the call, then the black screen shows up and stays active, and I can go to "speaker phone" by touching the speaker icon during the call if I want.
However, if I make a call for a person or business I want to call, using the phone number I found on their business card or their website, (they are not in my contact list) and I use the large green phone icon of the phone app to start the call, I get the white screen, and then,if I want to switch to the speaker phone, I can't get there. There seems to be no way to get back to the black screens once a phone call is started.
Also, thank you all others for responding to my issue.

TS4185 When I make a face time call, the speaker on the other person's ipad doesn't work. There is only loud static.

The speaker on my ipad doesn't work when the party I'm calling receives the call. Has anyone had a problem with this situation.?

Check to see what Microphone you have selected. On Mac's with multiple input options the Video menu will have a Microphone option. Try out the different options and see if any of them work for you.

I just bought a philips fidelio docking speaker and when I plug my iPod touch 4th gen it charges but dosent play music through the speaker.

I just bought a philips fidelio docking speaker and when I plug my iPod touch 4th gen it charges but dosent play music through the speaker.

Does Phillips say it will work with a 4G iPod with 6.1.5?
Have you went to their support site?
Which dock did you get?
This one
http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/DS8500_37/-/specifications
says only compatilbe with the 1G, 2G and 5G iPod tpouchs (as well as some other iOS devices)

Why can I only hear my calls through the speaker?

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

Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet. Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
