  • New lync contacts default to cell phone for lync call button (part 2)

    The problem is that when a Lync 2013 user adds a new contact, and then tries to place a call in Lync, the default option for the Lync call button to that newly added contact is that contact's cell phone (if that contact has added a cell phone number). 
    The default should be a Lync call, not a cell phone number.
    Others (thank you very much!) have answered very similar questions here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/80fde051-1d3c-495e-aa32-63e93e5e4104/change-the-default-oneclick-audio-call-option-on-lync-clients?forum=ocsvoice
    and here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/cd05243c-bbcf-46f4-9269-045d9c31867b/how-to-set-the-default-number-on-a-lync-contact-to-lync-call-instead-of-work?forum=ocsclients
    So I understand one possible solution is to: Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableVOIPCallDefault $true
    However, here's the odd issue I'm having and why I'm posting:  I ran Get-CsClientPolicy across three different, independent Lync servers (all for completely different orgs/domains that are managed separately) that I have access to, and the EnableVOIPCallDefault
    is set to false for all of them.    However, this problem behavior is only affecting one of the orgs, the other two, when a new contact is added, the call button in the  Lync client defaults to a Lync call, not a cell number.
    So why, if across three independently managed Lync servers, if the EnableVOIPCallDefault is set to false, would it only be defaulting to cell phones in one?  I compared the results of the three Get-CsClientPolicy, and could not find a logical pattern
    in any of the settings that could explain.
    The only thing that I can think of is that the org that is affected, the line uri is a 4 digit extension, not a full 10 digit phone number.  In the other two orgs (including the one that I am a user in), it's a full 10 digit phone number.

    EnableVOIPDefault is only the default option for the first click-to-call for a contact, once a different number is selected it becomes the default and the policy has no effect.

  • I want to use a netbook as a cell phone for voice calling/re​ceiving

    I realize that AT&T has a smart phone that will also allow mp3 playing and ibook reading, but its draw back for me is that it is restricted to how large a SD card you install, max 64mb.
    I would like to be able to use my AT&T cell number on a netbook which has 250GB of storage as I like to listen to audio books and take up a lot of storage space.
    Maybe something that plugs into a USB port that will receive and send on cell phone frequencies.
    A SD adaptor that would allow me to move my SIM card over to the netbook.
    A program that would run in the back ground that would listen for incoming calls and would come foreground when I wanted to make a call.
    The mp3 player and ibook reader are no problem as they can just be downloaded.
    Anyone know of anything like this or simular to?

    No phone plans for iPads, they do data only.
    You can use VoIP apps such as Skype or google voice.

  • Can I use my cell phone in Europe?

    I'm traveling to the UK in a few months. Will my Galaxy S III work in the UK? Will I pay a fortune in roaming charges? Would it be smarter to buy a cheap cheap pay-as-you-go phone while I'm there?

    If the Galaxy S3 has been updated to the most current OS version, it should be already unlocked for global GSM use. You will be able to get a local SIM card and local number while in the UK. If it is a short trip, then you might consider the global plan available from VZW, but please review the pricing to see if it is worth it.

  • What USA Cell Phone Carrier has the N-Series Phone...

    Please, I need the help of those who know MUCH more about Carrier availability than either myself, Google or even Bing has been able to come up with. 
    I have been doing some heavy research into phones and I quite like what I have read and seen of the Nokia phones, most especially the N and E series phones.  They are quite impressive.
    I know the E71 is available on AT&T and there are a variety of Nokia bar and flip phones available on a variety of American Cell Phone Carriers BUT... what what I am really interested in is what carrier could I use a good N Series smartphone on?  I have been looking at the E71 on AT&T (which is my current network) and if nothing else, I could be easily persuaded to purchase that phone.  However, it is the N-Series phones that really caught my attention as they have the solid build, camera / video options, web-browsing features and functionality that really speak to me.
    I am most interested in what carrier's in the USA would be or are carrying the N97, the N86 & N85 and possibly the N96 phones? 
    Solved!

    Hi,
    You can use any phone from Nokia with ATT and other carrier that use the GSM network, but you have to look for the phones that made for  the USA networks Nokia have a different version of their phones for USA and global use but you still can use the global one here in USA but with some limited function like the 3G services that different from USA. And if your looking for carrier that provide N or E series here in USA I don’t think there is any other than ATT and it only carry some of them not all, the N96 and N97 I don’t think you can find any of them here with plan price you have to by them from amazon they have cheaper than NokiaUSA.
     i hope that will help you...
    thanks 

  • Unlimited Europe cell phone calls?

    I want to buy an unlimited plan to call in Europe (really only Italy), but need to be able to call cell phones.  I see the check box for adding 5 dollars to call cell phones.  What is that about?  I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of extra charges every time I call a cell phone on the international plan...

    Hi,
    During payment process you might be offered with extra Skype Credit to call mobile numbers, but this extra credit is the same as if you would purchase Skype Credit separately from your account page: https://secure.skype.com/account/
    With Skype Credit calls will be charged based on these rates: www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/payg-rates/
    Plus connection fee: http://www.skype.com/go/connectionfee

  • Forwarded call to cell phone is not displayed with...

    I have a subscription allowing me to let calls to my skype online-number be forwarded to my cell phone. Now, if someone calls my skype number and is forwarded to my cell phone, my cell phone only shows "unknown". This is also the case, if the person calling me and being forwarded has activated his phone to show its number. So it has to be a setting inside the skype-program. How can I change this setting to let the number calling me being displayed on my cell phone?
    Thank you, I appreciate your help very much.

    It is possible that the telephone network is not passing the Caller ID information along.  This is the case in certain countries, even if the caller has enabled Caller ID and you have set a number in your Skype account to be used as Caller ID.  Have you done that yet?  Log into your account here on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page to see your Skype account's Caller ID settings. 
    If you have Caller ID set up on your Skype account, sometimes you will see your own Caller ID number when calls are forwarded from Skype.  Other times, it may be "unknown" or a series of digits.  Unfortunately, Skype does not have control over all of this, since Skype works with partners in many countries to provide services using the telephone network (making calls to or receiving calls from telephones, forwarding calls from Skype to a telephone number, Caller ID, etc.).

  • Cannot make calls to landlines and cell phones.

    I just bought a subscription for 1 month with skype. I have try to make several calls already and have not been able to connect. Skype starts to call and then it comes up with the message that you have to have skype credit or a subscription. What can I do?

    Do you have Skype Credit, or a subscription, to cover calls to landlines or mobiles from your Skype account?  If not, then you won't be able to call telephones other than possibly toll-free numbers in a few countries.  Remember that a Skype Online Number only covers receiving calls.  It does not give you the capability to make calls to telephones.

    I don't think your browser would be the problem here.  Check the Skype app on your computer, and your account (either through the app, or log into your account on the Skype web site).

  • Support Line - Call Forward All through Hunt Pilot to cell phone

    I know I may be beating a dead horse, but I've found so much help in these forums that I figured I'd give it a shot.
    We have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition and we are running into a configuration issue. What we would like to do is to create an emergency support line for our IT staff. The way we would like this to function is that a caller dials a number, CM accepts the call and dials out to our IT staff's cell phone numbers in a round-robin fashion. To avoid the caller getting dumped into the IT staff's voice mail on their cells, we would like the staff member to have to dial a number to accept the call. If there is no answer, the call rolls to the next cell number. If no one is available, the caller should be directed to Unity Connection to leave a message. Unity then will send out text and email messages to the support staff.
    I know that we can use Unity to perform an assisted transfer, which will require the user to press "1" to accept the call, and we are able to get Unity to send out the notifications (text and email) when a voice message is left. The issue is with Call Manager making the outbound calls to the cell phones.
    What we have attempted is to setup DNs that call forward all to the users cell numbers. These DNs have been added to a Line Group, which has a Hunt Pilot attached to it. Any time this pilot is called, we get a reorder. Using the DNA, we see that "no device is associated with the DN", which is under the DN for the first users cell forward. If we add that DN as a second line to that users IP Phone (7940), then the call into the Hunt Pilot rings that line on the IP phone, not the CFA to the cell phone.
    After weeks of digging around, it seems as though CFA in a Hunt is just not possible. My boss wants official word from Cisco about this, but TAC doesn't seem to want to help due to service contract issues (which blows my mind, as we have opened several cases in the past two months for configuration related issues). Our Business Edition came with Contact Center Xpress, although we do not have the resources available to install it. If CCX will carry out this task, that might be enough to push management into getting another server to support this, but without being able to play around with it, I don't know.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work, I would GREATLY appreciate the help!
    Thanks in advance,
    -Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Always interesting isn't it :)
    Call Forward settings on individual Hunt member phones are ignored when presented a call via the Hunt feature. Here is a clip;
    The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Cisco CallManager to extend a call to one or more lists of numbers, where each such list can specify a hunting order that is chosen from a fixed set of algorithms. When a call extends to a hunt party from these lists and the party fails to answer or is busy, hunting resumes with the next hunt party. (The next hunt party varies depending on the current hunt algorithm.) Hunting thus ignores the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward Busy (CFB) settings for the attempted party. This also applies to CFWD ALL settings.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803edabe.html#wp107892
    So, any Forwarding settings have to be done on the Hunt Pilot itself. These Destination settings (on the Hunt Pilot) need to be configured to go to the Unity Voicemail Pilot # or perhaps this is where you Forward out to the Cell #;
    Hunt Forward Settings
    Forward Hunt No Answer - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is not answered in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Forward Hunt Busy - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is busy in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Maximum Hunt Timer - Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting.(Used in conjunction with Forward Hunt Busy)
    Maybe you could leverage these Unity Connection configs to achieve your desired results. These will ensure that the Message is not left unattended;
    Cascading Message Notification
    Cascading message notification allows you to send notifications to a widening circle of recipients. Cisco Unity Connection continues to send notifications according to the devices you selected until the message has been saved or deleted by a recipient.
    For example, to create a cascade of message notifications for your Technical Support department,
    Chaining Message Notification
    Message notification can be set to "chain" to a series of notification devices if an attempt to send notification to the first selected device fails. The definition of failure to a notification device is based on the options you select for retrying a device that is not answered or is busy.

  • How to have my employer's phone # show on caller id when using my personal cell/iphone 5s to call customers?

    I use my personal cell phone throughout the day to call customers before arriving for scheduled apptmnts.  Is there a way to have my employer's phone # show up on their caller id instead of my personal cell #?  I do not want my personal cell # to be given out with these calls.

    No. However, you might want to look in to google voice. Using the google voice app, you can have your GV # appear instead of your personal number. I've been using it for years now (it's free in the US), and it's worked very well. You can also have caller ID for incoming calls display your GV # instead of the callers # so you know it's a work call, and you can set schedules for when calls to GV are allowed through to your forwarding numbers.

  • TS4069 used to be able to surf the web and be on a normal cell phone call at the same time without the use of wifi. now i need wifi to do this

    used to be able to surf the web using 3G and be on a cell phone call. Now it only works when i connect to wifi...WHY WHY WY

    Verizon is not a GSM carrier. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA carriers that have also recently adding an LTE (4G) network. The iPhone 5 is a combination LTE/GSM/CDMA network compatible phone.
    ATT and T-Mobile are GSM carriers. ATT has also recently added an LTE network.
    If you were able to talk and surf the web on Verizon's CDMA network with your iPhone previously, that was some trick which is not supported with a CDMA network as is supported with GSM 3G networks.

  • I have recently upgraded to iPhone 5 from 4, call line identity doesn't work when call other iPhones.  It works when calling any other brand of cell phone.  Network carrier assures me problem is not on there side.  Any assistance will be appreciated.
