Unable to change Calling Features

We upgraded our phone and broadband this week and as a result Privacy at Home/Caller Disply is no longer active on our phone line.
When I try to change this online I get a screen saying 'Sorry there has been a technical error'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Unable to Access Calling Features or Calling Plan ...

I was wondering if anybody could advise if there is a dedicated support team for issues with BT.com. I am having issues when attempting to access either the Calling Features or Calling Plan Pages from BT.com. I have no problems viewing recent usage or Billing etc. and I am able to make payments. When trying to access the Calling Plan I receive the following error ... "We're sorry. Sorry, we can't continue your request with the account number provided. Please call us on 0800 800 150 to continue." The Calling Features page, returns this ... "Sorry, we can't change your Calling Features at the moment. Sorry, your account number wasn't recognised. Please check and try again." I have tried the 0800 number but nobody seems able to help and I eventually got cut off as I was transferred for the fourth time, so I thought I would see if anybody else has had the same experience and could help me short cut the IVR. Many thanks.

I also have the same problem. Here is a copy of the email I sent BT after spending a frustrating amount of time talking to their call centre to people who clearly did not have a clue. What is worse is they do not seem to have an escalation process to deal with problems that are not on their script and that they do not understand.
>>>
Sir,
I am writing to complain about the exceedingly poor customer service I received today.
I have for a long time managed my account TH******* on line. Last year I added account GB******* to the list of accounts I manage online. Ever since this account has been set up I have noted that when I select the 'calling plan' option for this account I get the message "Sorry, we can't change your Calling Plan at the moment. Please call us on 0800 800 150 to continue" and when I select the 'calling features' option I get the message "Sorry, we can't access your account information at the moment. Please try again later".
Today I tried to do something about this. As directed I called 0800 800 150.
Issue 1. None of the 4 options (i to place or check on an order, ii calling about a bill, iii moving home, iv a fault or need help with your service) actually apply to what I am calling about but I am forced to listen to them twice because there is not get out option supplied until the recorded message 'you do need to choose one of the options.'
If you provide a number to call from a website then that number should provide an option that actually applies in the circumstances relating to the reason the number was given. In this case I am calling because the website is not functioning correctly. There was no option for that.
Issue 2. Before I finally managed to reach a person, I was asked to enter my phone number and my account number. But when I reached an 'advisor' she asked for my account number again.
If your system does not pass the account number through to the advisors, why make me key it in. If it does, why am I asked for it again?
When I finally managed to speak to someone after selecting a range of inappropriate options I explained my problem. At first, she just offered to help me change my package. I explained that this was not what I was asking but that I wanted to be able to manage this account online. I was advised that there is currently a fault on the website and that I should try again later.
On reflection, I decided that this answer was inadequate since I could clearly see both of the options on the account TH******* and I had never been able to see these options on the new account since it had been set up despite having tried several times.
Issue 3. The answer given does not seem to address my problem.
So I called again.
Repeat issues 1 & 2.
This time I reached Kamal in billing and services. Similarly he just offered to help me change my package. I explained that this was not what I was asking but that I wanted to be able to manage this account online. I explained that I could do this for account TH... but not account GB... After some time he came back with the answer that it was not possible to do with GB accounts but was with TH accounts. I expressed incredulity and asked to register a complaint about the fact that I could manage one account comprehensively but not the other. I then noticed for the first time that on the 'Accounts' page on the website, there was no telephone number showing under the account number GB****** whereas there was under the account number TH******8. So I suggested that perhaps the account had not been set up correctly.
After some considerable time while he looked into this, put me on hold several times, and at one point suggested that he might have to reset my password, he finally came back to me with the response that there was a technical problem with the website and that I should try again in 24 hours.
Issue 4. It is unacceptable that I was kept hanging around for so long while he attempted to diagnose the problem.
Issue 5. Clearly, the advice he gave me earlier in the call that "it was not possible to do with GB accounts" was rubbish.
In all, this was a totally unsatisfactory experience. I am hoping someone can explain why your system is so convoluted and, in the end, inadequate. Most of all I would like to be assured that my account will now be able to be managed online - if not, why not.
I will try the system again in 24 hours as advised by Kamal. Hopefully I will find that it works.
>>>
Unhappily, it didn't work as I expected it wouldn't. One week later I still had not received a reply to my email so I emailed them again.
Finally, 4 days after that I received the following reply
>>>
The incident A/c no : GB****** - Unable to access calling plan online that you reported has now been resolved.
Please note that you have not attached telephone number while adding this account to online profile.
Please remove account and add again with telephone number after that you will able to access calling plan within 24hrs.
Thank you for your time in this matter and we apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
<<<
Note that they are telling me the problem is my fault. What do they mean 'you have not attached the telephone number' - I can clearly see the billing information for this number so it clearly is 'attached' to the account.
After hunting for ages on their website to find an option to delete the account as suggested I eventually found it, pressed the delete button and ....
You cannot remove this account from your profile. For further assistance, please call 0800 800 152.
We're sorry, but it's not possible to remove this account from your profile at this time.
OMG!
So I guess I am going to have to spend yet more time on the phone to them. I'll let you know how I get on.

How do I change my caller ID to a number that is not my skype number?
Thanks!

Hey no wonder, it's The Fantastic Microsoft. Don't expect the fix any time soon. I have been waiting for the support representative for an hour to ask, apparently they're very busy *****

Unable to change status in messages

Hey guys,
Okay, so I am unable to change my status in messages or do anything for that matter.
My friends messages app looks different then mine and she actually has more options then me. It will not let me set to online status or anything, it's like disabled and I cannot figure it out. Also when I send a message from my mac, it will say my email when my friend recieves the message but then if I send it from my iphone it says my number, so it starts two different conversations.
This is annoying and when I called tech support they had no idea what I was talking about.
Any smart apple users out there

The new Messages app in Mountain Lion has two aspects. It integrates most of the features of the old iChat program (using AOL and Jabber transport mechanisms among others, which include the concept of on/offline status) with Apple's new iMessage transport mechanism (which doesn't).
Your phone-to-phone message are probably going through yet a third transport mechanism, SMS. You can set your phone to use iMessage transport to eligible recipients by going to Settings > Messages, turning iMessage to "ON", and including your AppleID (~email address) in "Receive At" along with your phone number.
We are told that when iOS6 is released this fall it may help combine the multiple conversations. It is not yet clear how.

I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

Please help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Unable to change volume iOS6

Hello,
I upgraded to iOS6 tonight on my 4s via wifi and noticed that I am unable to change the volume of music/calls/ringer/videos via the volume buttons and the volume slider does not appear in the music or video apps..I am aware that a similar issue is caused by a buildup of dust in the universal port but these functions were working fine before updating.
I've checked the restrictions part in General and volume limit has not been enabled)
Declan

POSSIBLE FIX
I phoned my voicemail number (I had not made calls since updating) and played around with the call volume)
After hanging up, I have full use of the volume buttons/music player and video slider
I hope this helps some people and if not, don't give up your search for a fix

Unable to change document

Hi all
we have posted vender invoice and we created vender as custmer for this we entered customer no in vender master record vice versa.
when i am going to do mass change in fbl1n system is showing error like "Unable to change every document "
Let me know the cause for this error and kingly give the suggestion.

Dear RAVI,
Please, consider that if you use the 'mass change' functionality,
transaction FBL1N calls the transaction FB02 with every line
you have set, to change the documents.
This is done with the statement CALL TRANSACTION.
Probably the FM is called by an OPENFI/BTE in the
FB02. Please check by debugging.
Or I'd suggest to try to change each single document by FB02 in order to find out which is the document that creates the problem. Probably the field You're trying to change is suppressed into this document.
Please review as well the note 640908 in order to see if all has been executed
correctly in case of new field added. I hope this helps.

Can't order Calling Features online

Hello
When I try to order Calling Features online I get the following message
Sorry about this...
We have noticed you already have one of our great package deals. To change your Calling Plan, please call one of our helpful advisors on 0800 800 150. To order Line Rental Saver, please re-enter your details here
I've emailed BT about this twice and even tried to sort it out through BT chat with no success. Can somebody tell me why I get this error and why I can't order Calling Features online successfully.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried ringing the 0800 800 150 number or calling UK sales on 0800 783 0056?
The message usually means that you are already still within an existing contract, and need to call them.

Remove calling features - Answer 1571 and Privacy ...

I've just ordered a new connection, and decided to opt into the "free" calling features Answer 1571 and Privacy at Home. After completing the order I was notified by email that these features are only free under certain conditions, otherwise there's an additional monthly charge. This was probably mentioned somewhere while I was ordering it, but I didn't see it so I'm guessing it was buried in small print.
I'd like to opt out of these calling features to avoid having to pay any additional charges, but I can't find any information on how to change which calling features I'm subscribed to. Please can you let me know how to turn off Answer 1571 and Privacy at Home.
I'd also like to make a suggestion: You should make it clear to your customers that there are hidden charges associated with these "free" services before they place their orders.
-Mike

You may be able to visit www.bt.com/myaccount. there is a link on there to changing your calling features, if not it's a call to 150

Verizon iPhone 6plus unable to receive calls but can receive texts

Hello, I have a Verizon iPhone 6plus (64GB Space Grey) and am unable to receive incoming calls, yet I'm able to place out-going calls and exchange texts with my contacts. I'm unsure how to proceed, I'm asking for assistance since I have seen that my issue is different then everyone else since I can call out and do text messaging. Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Do I need to speak with Verizon, since to me it seems like a network problem? Or do I need to go to my local Apple Store and request a genius bar appointment for assistance?
Thanks for your assistance, I greatly appreciate it very much!
Eric

I suggest contacting or going to Verizon and have them try to resolve the issue, calling feature is a carrier feature.
good luck.

Active ID - unable to change no matter what I do

I recently had to send my original blackberry 8900 back to the provider for a replacement model due to a fault it had developed. This has meant that the Active ID Desktop Manager (DM) uses to identify the device has changed. Since I dont now have access to the original device that DM was setup to work, with I am unable to use the Change Device feature to get this Active ID changed to the one of the new device. I have tried all number of ways of trying to do this including the following:
Uninstalling current version (5.0) of DM and reinstalling it again
Uninstalling current version of DM and installing version 4.7
Generating a new email key
When doing this I have followed the 'clean install' guides and removed all directories and keys from the windows registry and then rebooted before starting a new install. DM even recognises that its a new device and asks me do I want to change and even though I say [Yes] every time it still insists on using the original one.
No matter what I do the same thing happens and the original Active ID is set. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to change it to the new one? Without changing the ID the redirection service will only try and send messages to the original device and not my current one.
I have tried searching the net but all I can find is the steps I have already taken with no luck.
