Transferring call sign number to seperate phone li...

Hi,
I have been using call sign for a few years now and would like to transfer that number to a seperate line. Is that possible?
Many thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BT people like to "pretend" it cannot be done. In reality I have transferred a primary number to a Call Sign number in the past, and I have also transferred the digital number of an Home Highway "ISDN" line to become a Call Sign number too. They just don't want to bother to say they can do it because there's probably nothing in it for them and on some exchanges it might be more complicated than on others.
The last time I did it I had an argument with the man on the phone, who told me it could never be done until I exampled the details of when I'd done it before. It was then done.
Funnily enough I want to move a Call Sign number from one line to another right now, and then switch it with the primary number on the other line, so the existing primary number of the other line becomes the Call Sign. I'm getting the "cannot" be done answer at the moment, so I'll shortly be writing a letter to BT exampling how it can be done given I've had it done twice before.
Remember BT don't work for you, you work for them! How dare you even suggest they do something that you might find useful.

  • Call sign number

    Dear Sir or Madam
    Last week we had an upgrade for our broadband. Since the upgrade all the telephone calling features were disconnected & removed. I have managed via 20 plus calls to reinstate all the services but the call sign number that we had for 10 plus years,cannot be restored! We currenly have a worthless different number & customer services say its not possible to provide the original number they disconnected!
    Help please.

  • Charges for calling Skype number from cell phone

    Just purchased a skype phone number. Chose a local area code so family can call me while Iam in Italy. Will there be an additional charge on their cell phone when they call me. They have unlimited calls and text on there monthly cell plan. Will I have to pay skype if I answer call to my skype number on my cell phone?  If I purchase a premium subscription will I be able to call home from Italy on my cell phone? And how much will that cost per minute- or will the monthly premium price give me unlimited calling and text from my cell?

  • Problems after porting Call Sign number.

    We have today ported our Callsign number from BT to a VOIP provider as we are moving.
    The ported number works fine
    Our main number is now not working. All I get from "Inidian Telecom" is the network is working correctly & everything is fine. We can send an engineer but may need to charge!
    I get a dial tone, the problem is when we try & dial out or dial in we get nothing but a bleeping.
    Talking to the call center is like talking to a scripted brick wall.

    Correct it isn't my number.
    That would be great but we are not moving until the 12th of March and it seems BT have screwed up.
    We are not taking the current number with us as we are moving 100 miles away.
    I'm glad the broadband is still working
    Anyway I can get the number reconnected until the 12th March?
    I would not rely on the broadband to keep working, as if there is a cease order for it, then that will go as well.
    The change of number to the "stopped line" would have been done automatically, as you are not taking the number with you.
    As for the possibility of getting it re-instated, you would have to ask one of the BT Care Team to take a look on the system, to see what has happened.

  • Lync 2013 not hear ring back in mobile when call by number

    Hi,
    I have setup a Lync server 2013 standard Front end on windows server 2012 R2 and also installed update for Mobility service and enabled it. It seems everything works perfect but...
    When I call by number in android phones and iphones, I do not hear ring back tone, although call is proceeded and if the calling person answer the call, everything will be fine. The strange thing is that if I call by name I hear ring back
    tone.
    This problem does not exist while using windows phone or desktop client.
    Thanks, Amir.

    Early media refers to media (e.g., audio and video) that is exchanged  before a particular session is accepted by the called user.
    If the remote party does not generate it, then you will not hear it. As stated by Holger, the logs will have this information. Without the logs it is not possible to identify where the problem is. Your app might have received it and not played it or it was
    never send.

  • On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

    On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

    Never heard of that.  I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
    Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    If you have a 1G iPod then you are in the same boat of other 1G users, It appears that Apple changed the App store and the update prevent 1G users from purchasing items. I have not seen a solution yet.

  • I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate.  But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

    I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  I can't get it to ring.  I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone.  But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

    Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

  • 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? 

  • How do I highlight phone numbers, in documents such as .pdf or pages or numbers, so I can call that number simply by touching that number?

    I save a document into my iPhone 6's pdf reader, such as a pages, word, excel doc   Sometimes the phone numbers are highlighted, so that I can call the number just by touching that number.  Other times the phone numbers are not "live."  How do I make the phone numbers work?

    If I go to my notes app ( not a note in a contact) and I add a phone number and tap done the number becomes live.  However if I then copy the live number from the notes app and try and paste it into the notes field in a contact it is no longer live.  Weird huh

  • How can I change the number displayed when I make a call/send a sms? Despite transferring my old number across to my iphone messages.and Facetime are made from the original sim number and not mine. Any ideas?

    I've transferred my old number by PAT code to my new iphone and most of the time it works fine however there are problems when replying to tests and using Facetime when the original sim muber is displayed. My frined can text me on my correct number but if I reply she receives it from the different number. Also when using Facetime the number displayed is the one the came with the iphone. Anyone know what to do to get the number id correct?

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.
