Unable to change my mobile phone# displayed on out...

Hi folks,
Having moved to Japan from Australia, I've tried a few times to (verify and) change my mobile# displayed as the sender on SMSs I send.  Verification DOES take place successfully (ie "Options -> IM & SMS -> SMS Settings -> Verify a different mobile phone number") but I'm unable to actually make this new number replace my old number in "My mobile phone number."  In fact, I've just now sent a test SMS to my mobile and the sending mobile phone number displayed on the SMS is neither my old number nor my new number... it's some altogether different number!  Any ideas?  Thanks!

I confirm that I can replicate this issue. Namely:
In the Skype Application:
'SMS Settings -> verify your mobile phone number' will send a verification code which will be received by the phone (Carrier: NTT Docomo).
The received code will work in Skype. Confirmation message: "The code worked, your mobile number has been verified. However, the phone number will not appear in the drop down list.
On the Skype Profile page:
Clicking 'Verify my number' raises error: an internal error occurred.
When selecting 'Caller ID', Japan (and Mexico) are not displayed in the drop down list.
Skype Technical support and I troubleshot (troubleshooted?) including deleting the shared.xml file. However, this did not fix. We concluded that this is a problem with specific carriers. No ETA on fix.
Hopefully this helps you not waste your time and, if you plan on coming to Japan, arrange alternatives.

  • ISync receives changes from mobile phone but stopped sending changes

    Trying to sync this morning with my Nokia 6682. Everything has been working perfectly until today. iCal receives changes from the phone and makes them on the calendar but the changes in iCal are not being sent to the phone. All the iSync log says is that the sync failed. The phone connects to iSync and starts to apply changes to the phone and then just zips to the end and gives me the error.

    Hello, I've read that you have write about "iSync agent" what is it?
    I would like to say that the address book start to run (but I don't know why) but the calendar still not...
    Very strange...

  • ITunes name change with Mobile Phone

    I have a Motorola SLVR phone that I put songs on it using iTunes. My original name for the phone was long and I wanted to change it. Along the right hand side, I clicked on my mobile and renamed it. Now I am unable to add songs to it. There is a circle with a line through it when I try. The phone still has plenty of room on it to add songs. I do not remember the initial name to try to go back to. Did anyone encounter this problem and how did you resolve it? If not, any suggestions would be helpful because I tried everything I knew. Thanks.

  • Iphone without radio service...it is a huge disappointment that made my dission to change this mobile phone to another.

    Well, what to say. Not so long ago i've bought my first iphone5 and at first i was glad to have it, but that feeling were lasting not so long.
    I noticed many "+" like really good design and in some way simple using. I really really liked it before i faced some problems. On the second day i understand that such thing like radio service is absent, why?????????????????? I'm using my phone only for calls, messages and radio because of work. The only thing that Apple can offer is applications from AppStore or some huge gadget.....but dear Apple corp. before coming to our market you had to made some research and understand we still don't have special contracts for iphone from our mobile operators, if i'm using standart mobile plan than it's really tooo expensive, and also we have standart  unlimmited mobile plan for internet only in name and even if we are choosing it than in a lot of places we simply don't have a signal of phone carrier or the speed is very very low....So i'm asking myself for some days already: should i use my iphone or should i sell it and find phone that really adaptable for my country?
    PS about radio service: i can use it on my ipod but don't have it on iphone...it is really strange

    That was a present from husband, we came together to the store where i bought it. I'm using ipod for many years already and it has a simple radio service. Honestly, I automaticaly thought that iphone has it too...it's a really pity
    Well, there are Radio apps on the iTunes Store:  2 examples:

    What number are you trying to set as the Caller ID when you call telephones from Skype? 
    Landline numbers that are not Skype Online Numbers can't be used as Caller ID, as Skype does not have a mechanism to confirm you own or control that number.  Only certain Skype Online Numbers are eligible for use as Caller ID - the numbers in Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US (list taken from the "Caller ID" link at the bottom of this page).  If you don't have an Online Number, or your Online Number is from a country not in the list above, your only option is to use a mobile number - which can be in almost any country, excluding Japan and Mexico.

  • RESERT MOBILE PHONE NUMBER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY

    HELLPPPPP!!! GUYS I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE A US ACCOUNT BUT I MOVED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND I CHANGED MY MOBILE PHONE NUMBER
    I FORGOT MY SECURITY QUESTIONS, IM TRYING TO RESET THEM BUT I CANT COS I NEED TO HAVE A RECOVERY EMAIL WHICH I DONT HAVE
    SO HOW I WILL GET CONTACT FROM APPLE SUPPORT TO RESET SINCE I HAVE ANOTHER MOBILE AND I LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY NOW??!!!

    If you are not in the US then you can't use the US iTunes store - you need to be in a country to use its store. If you update the billing address on your account to be your address in the country where you now are then you can try contacting support in that country (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Mobile (phone & tablet) screen profiles not displaying correctly

    RoboHelp 11 on a Windows 7 machine
    I have a small project that I put down in August and just picked up again today. The only changes I made today were a background color in the selected layout and adding browsers to the screen profiles (desktop, mobile, phone). I also changed the pixel sizes of aforementioned screen profiles, and saved, but ultimately thought better of it and changed them back. I don't know if that would have made any difference to this problem. (When I made the size changes RH told me to update the media queries, but I'm not using any... or at least none came up in the Manage Media Queries functionality.)
    Then I re-generated the output, but the tablet and phone screen sizes are no longer displaying properly when I tested by changing the size of my desktop browser--there is a rather large "dead zone" browser size in which no content is displayed at all (which makes it almost seem like the "responsive" part of the output doesn't work), the internal navigation (forward and back buttons, and bar) is shoved up in the header bar, and no browser horizontal scroll bar appears so that I can scroll to see the edge of wide images. I mainly use IE but this occurred in Firefox and Chrome as well. The desktop display seems to work fine. (I'm so sorry I don't have screenshots now--I can provide some if needed.)
    I wondered if this had something to do with my chosen "template" but a brand new project that used that same one (Theme1_Standard) didn't have any problems. Now, I also noticed that the template seems to have changed since I was last in Robohelp, because the unchanged template preview today was definitely not the same as the template from August. The Readme for the latest patch didn't mention anything that I thought seemed to be related.
    Like I said, all I changed were a color, the screen profile browsers, and the screen profile sizes which I later discarded. I am completely at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it. I feel like a complete dolt because it seems to be related to something I *DID* but retracing my steps has yielded nothing.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE
    Still having this issue, but in poking around I discovered that some of the program files on my local machine were updated in mid-September (when it looks like the latest patch's ReadMe file was installed on my computer) and others were updated mid-October (the first time I was in RH since mid-August, though I didn't generate anything then). I don't know if this means anything, but to me it looks mildly suspicious. Thx.

    Screenshots:
    Internal navigation shoved up into the header bar (yellow on top of black, color changed here just to show this):
    In tablet size, an extra wide image does not cause a horizontal scrollbar to appear anywhere at the bottom of the browser to scroll to the right side of the image (sorry this one is hard to see, but the image does go off to the right side of the screen):
    Dead zone:
    Content reappears at a much smaller size and a much larger size, but the top/bottom/and right-side text wrap is off:
    (Again, above, notice no horizontal scroll bar despite the extra wide image.)
    It may be of note that I can use a different template (e.g. Theme2_Government) and I don't have such problems. I guess this means there's something wrong with the template/layout in this project. Am I just going to have to reconstruct it?
    Thanks,
    S

  • C3-00 Unable to Change Display Brightness or Power...

    Since buying my new C3-00 today from a large well known supplier, I have been unable to find a simple Menu function to allow me to change the power saver timeout (currently ridiculously too quick).
    I also want the screen to be slightly illuminated (like it is with ALL my older Nokia's) while in power saver, thus allowing me to see if the phone is actually still ON!!
    After spending the last 2 hours fruitlessly Googling... along with searching this forum... and even contacting Nokia direct (very unhelpful)... I am wondering if this function has been removed in the C3-00.
    If this is the case... the phone goes back to the supplier and I will buy something else that provides these basic functions.
    Good grief Nokia, after 15 years of using and raving about your phones I'm not impressed.

    Well i think, Nokia do not try to perform best. I think they do not know what they want. They try to "change" into something better, but in summary it looks like they doing something completely different. It looks like they do not know or understand that because of other greate mobile phones producers like HTC, BlackBerry or Samsung they MUST do BETTER phones with BETTER software with prize that is smaller. People do not buy more this "mark" as something better. People do not take all this marketing **bleep** because there is large competition. And anyone can compare simple qwerty BB phones with such simple C3, where C3 is without veeeery advanced knowledge on the side of user, just a brick with many buttons. This is not enough. Their software that they think will make things better that is Ovi Suite is performing bad. Syncing is slow, and users do not have full control on what is going on. So for me for example, i still use Nokia PC Suite - simpler, faster, better, without all those fancy colored GUI that really no one care when app do not work as it should. Also C3 itself, i use it and i like it. But i had to learn how to flash it by myself because closest Nokia Care location is hundret KM from me. Also i had to learn about chipset inside, and memory inside, to learn how to fix problems like second community icon. I had info from Nokia that they couldn't replicate this problem. I had to learn what protocol C3 is using for wathing videos from YouTube, how it is working on the network side, analyse the transfer to know, how to prepare whole netowrk at home (with static IPs, redirecting range of UDP ports on that IP). And this is maybe only half problems with this phone. But such things should not even happen with phone that go to sell. Really for me, someone should be fired for such lack of competence. There are 2 possibilities:
    - testing team failed, didn't find those errors (that would mean Nokia will die producing worst phones every, which is slowly happening even by hardware itself and it's resistance for water, dust and falls)
    - management failed by telling to release phone before good testing and making everything work as it should.
    Whatever it is, someone should search for new job. Also there is problem with different phone models, because while i created Nokia C3 support site for Polish users ( http://nokia-c3.itos.pl/ ), they start to send me some info about similar problems on different models like X2 etc. People search for help, but i cannot help them all. And Nokia is sleeping. Let it sleep, maybe Nokia will wake up in the moment, when all people around will already use different mobile phones ;-)
    Don't say you want to help - just do it! Happy user of Nokias: 6150 SAT (still work), 6021 (used as backup, still work), 5220 XpressMusic (Drown, screaming for Contact Service), C3-00 (my current phone).

  • Why does Siri display $! ex-mobile phone $

    Three Questions:
    1.  Every time I ask Siri to dial a number, it displays "$! <ex-mobile phone> $" and then the number.  It also says the word "dollar sign".  I have tried turning off, rebooting, turning back on, etc. to no avail.
    2.  Tried to get Siri to show directions to "home".  Siri says there is no "home address" listed for me, but displays my contact info with my home address blatantly listed.  Again, tried to tell it my home address, didn't stick.
    3.  Every time I ask to dial someone's "mobile" number, it says a mobile number isn't listed....when the number in the contact information is clearly listed as a "mobile" number.
    Frustrated with Siri....any help would be great.

    I immdiately noticed this bug with Siri; it does NOT work well with custom labels. it's very interesting that some of you have managed to make a custom label with the same NAME as a built-in label, but here's the 'rub'.
    internally, what is called 'mobile' is actually called 'cell' in the address card, just that iPhone and Address book etc re-write them to be 'mobile'. it also re-writes 'fax' (internal) to read 'work fax'.
    I used a custom label for my family and friends with iPhone:  3 or  4 etc... Siri is so confused it will actually say "i don't know what do with the phone number 415-555-1212 (reading out the actual numbers) just because the label doesn't match one of the few it KNOWs about.
    @ robert: apple script is your friend; it's possible to batch change any such things; i had to un-fark my custom  labels with over 1600 contacts of which maybe 50 had these custom fields.
    iCloud has the annoyance that they apparently removed the ability to import/export online; the JUST added it in in m.me like a year ago, and it vapoorizes with v1 of iCloud that's really dumb apple.
    when i changed my labels to standard-ish labels it seems to work. I actually have a multiply dot (·) in front of my labels to know if they have been 'verified' example:
    · home xxx-xxx-xxx
    · work xxx-xxx-xxxx
    · us cell xxx-xxx-xxxx
    · iphone xxx-xxx-xxxx
    though Siri will SAY the labels properly 'home' 'work' 'us cell' it WON'T DIAL them save if you have one 'favoritized' it will figure out that is the one you prefer and won't even ASK about the rest!
    Siri will LITREALLY SAY:
    "you have multiple phone numbers for fred jones, home, work, mobile, which would you like to dial".. you say "home" and Siri will respond "there is no HOME number listed for Fred Jones" even though Siri JUST SAID there WAS!
    arrrrgh!

  • When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message.  How do I change that default?

    My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her.  I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text.  Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email.  When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing!  I did find a solution, but it's more complicated.  I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message.  Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • Field Mobile phone (ADR2-R3_USER) vendor master changed from Blank to 1

    Hi
    Where I can find Mobile phone (ADR2-R3_USER) in Vendor master.
    We have updated Purchasing block to vendor master via LSMW and after that if i am going to see the changes in vendor master (XK03)
    Found that the field Mobile phone (ADR2-R3_USER) changed from BLANK to ONE
    Field            Mobile phone (ADR2-R3_USER)
      from
      to                1
    Not sure what happened.
    Can any one throw some ides on this?
    Regards
    Jai

    Hello,
    F1 on the field ADR2-R3_USER gave the below information.  Check if this is useful.
    Indicator: Telephone is a Mobile Telephone
    This field specifies whether the telephone number is a mobile telephone number.
    Input values
    ' ' :  The telephone number is a fixed-line telephone
    '1' :  The telephone number is the standard fixed-line telephone
    '2' :  The telephone nubmer is a mobile telephone
    '3' :  The telephone number is the standard mobile telephone
    Dependencies
    Either the standard fixed-line telephone number or the standard mobile telephone number is also the standard telephone number (FLGDEFAULT = 'X').
    In older data sets, this field may have also have the value ' ' for the standard fixed-line telephone. In this case, however, FLGDEFAULT is always 'X'.
    Effects on Customizing
    In Customizing, you can specify whether the SMS-compatible indicator is to be proposed for new mobile telephone numbers created in dialog by choosing General Settings -> Set countries  -> Define Mobile Telephone Attributes for each country.
    Cheers

  • I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

    I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook).  I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line.  Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!! 

    Hi,
    As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
    In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
    The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
    This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
    (it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
    Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
    AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
    The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

  • Slideshow images will not display correctly on mobile phone

    Hello,
    I have a website which I used several slideshows, in areas I would typically just used a rectangle and fill with photo.  This was done because my client wants to be able to update the images through business catalyst.  Unfortunately, when viewed on a mobile phone (I am using iOS 7) the slide show images do not display correctly.
    What can be done to fix this?  Is there another workaround I should try?
    Thanks!

    Hi Nicole
    The images that you are using on parties page are stretched , if you check the image frame you can see that.
    As a result the image frame is stretched over the side image , they are not showing properly. If you resize from Muse end , then also it would not be fixed because Muse remembers the image size as you have inserted and when viewed , Muse stretches the image to original size as how it was inserted.
    Please resize the images outside Muse , use any image editor like Photoshop and then use the exact dimension of the image frame on page.
    This would resolve the issue.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit
