Use data only, but block voice calling

On an upcoming trip to Europe, I'd like to buy the 100MB data plan for $25 and use it to text via a texting app, but I don't want or need to make or receive calls. How do I turn on 4g only, but block all calls?
At my accommodations I will use their wireless internet, but would like to use mobile data when I'm out and about.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

midwest-meemaw I hope that you have an amazing time! There isn't a setting that will allow you to block calls and still use the network for data. However as long as you don't make/answer the calls, then you will not be charged airtime.

Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account? Just for random local calling.

Yup.
Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
The lookup table is here for the copying:
0
1
k
kilo
2
M
mega
3
G
giga
4
T
tera
5
P
peta
6
E
exa
7
Z
zetta
8
Y

In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are.
B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
select cell B1, copy,
now select all the cells in column B, paste

Using Cisco 3526 IPVC for Voice Calls as well

Does anybody know the latest capabilities of the Cisco 3526 gateway when used as a Voice gateway? The Cisco SRND for "Cisco IP Video Telephony", which was published in July 2004, states that the IPVC gateways do NOT support H.245 Empty Capabilities Set or H.450. So they will give you supplementary services such as Hold, transfer, etc. Version 3.0 of the 3526 documentation lists "Empty capability set support" as a feature, although it does not state H.245 or H.450.
Basically, I want to use a 3526 as a second Voice gateway as well as a Video gateway in a Call Manager deployment. I am just concerned that I won't get all the supplementary services when using it for voice calls.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I know the product can support voice, my main concern was the support for ECS (Empty Capabilities Set) within H.245. If it does not support this my IP Phones will not be able to use the supplementary features such as Hol;d, Transfer, etc,etc.
I have escalated this to Cisc here in the UK for clarification. I am sure it will, but I just want clarification from Cisco or somebody that has used it in the same scenario.

Is there any offer to use data only for my two weeks staying in London?

First off, is this relating to a Microsoft SQL Server database, or a MySQL database? I see several references to MySQL in your example.
Your code uses a function StartingRow() which isn't a built-in T-SQL function. So, if it is a function you've defined, you need to make sure it's properly referenced in order to use it. (may need a 2 or 3 part name if it isn't in the default
schema or the same database.)

Netflow is displaying inbound data only, but not outbound

We use NetQos to monitor our Netflows. Some tunnels at our remote site show both inbound and outbound netflow data, yet some tunnels only show inbound. The sh run confirms that both tunnels are set up in equivilant manner i.e. "ip flow ingress", "ip flow egress", and "ip route-cache flow". The NetQos tool looks accurate, what am I missing? jimmyc

hi Jeff,
Check if the alerts are raised properly, just to reassure check the table /sapapo/am_alert has the alerts you have generated. I suggest delete all alerts & check teh table has zero entries & then generate new alerts. Then try to display, if it does not appear please check if there is any system dump in ST22. While displaying alerts in alert monitor if there is a system dump (for soem reason) you dont get a dump screen, instead you get zero alerts.
I am not sure if you are using any user exit for the alert display, if yes please check them too.

Use Chains, or PL/SQL Block of calls.

I currently have a half dozen cron jobs that kick off different batches of processing. Originally, these were generally a sequence of C programs that did different operations (fetch student info from student record system and load into IdM system, process directory changes, etc). Over the years, most of the program logic has been rewritten as PL/SQL packages and the cron jobs basically drop into SQL*PLUS and do things like:
prompt "Do Spbpers delta"
execute simon.employee_maint.Spbpers_Delta;
commit;
prompt "Do People.Update_From_Employees"
execute simon.People_Maint.Update_From_Employees;
commit;
prompt "Do SGBSTDN_Full"
execute Simon.Bstudent_Maint.Sgbstdn_Full;
commit;
prompt "Do SPRIDEN_Full (Student)"
execute Simon.Bstudent_Maint.Spriden_Full;
These procedures generally connect to other Oracle databases and get or push data around, and are hitting a number of different databases. The biggest of these scripts has 45 execute statements in it. (This script started in 1992.....)
Anyway, we are getting some issues with and it is time to clean things up. This is my first foray into Scheduler and I am hoping to get some philosophical guidance on how best I should restructure things. One obvious thing, is to break up the big script into a couple of smaller ones. In some cases, order matters and in other, it doesn't - although I would prefer not to have several jobs hitting the admin system at the same time.
I have been playing a bit with the scheduler, mostly via the EM web interface, and have come up with a few questions - some pretty specific, others more stylistic.
1) Procedures as jobs - it seemed to want stand alone procedures, and NOT procedures that were part of a package. True?
2) How fine grained should I make the steps in a chain? For example, I call 5 procedures in the same package (student_maint), each to to some specific aspect of the processing (each represents a different source table). Should I create 5 programs, and make them 5 steps in the chain, or just have 5 calls in a PL/SQL block in one program?
3) I don't care what order these 5 run in, but I don't want more than one running at once - thoughts on approaches to this?
4) I will on occasion want to turn off sets of these tasks (like when the remote system is going to be down for an upgrade) - how best to structure things to make this easy to do (and how do I do this?)
The Scheduler system seems to be a very rich and flexible environment, with a lot more options and features than I need, but I feel I should do more than just scheduling a single program with 45 procedure calls in it....

Hi,
I can try to answer some of these questions
1) Procedures as jobs - it seemed to want stand alone procedures, and NOT procedures that were part of a package. True?
False. The EM interface does have this restriction, but if you use dbms_scheduler directly there is no such restrisction. Even in the EM interface you can workaround this by using a PL/SQL block which calls the package procedure (although argument handling is a little less flexible this way).
2) How fine grained should I make the steps in a chain? For example, I call 5 procedures in the same package (student_maint), each to to some specific aspect of the processing (each represents a different source table). Should I create 5 programs, and make them 5 steps in the chain, or just have 5 calls in a PL/SQL block in one program?
The answer to this depends on what you are doing. If the 5 steps run serially one after the other, using one pl/sql block may be easier. If you want some pieces to run in parallel, then creating a simple chain is better. A bit more effort spent setting up the chain will result in much faster execution times if you can run pieces in parallel.
3) I don't care what order these 5 run in, but I don't want more than one running at once - thoughts on approaches to this?
This has come up on the forum a few times and there are basically two different approaches. One is to use dbms_lock to ensure that only one runs at a time. This is the easiest way and the way that I recommend.
The other way is to set up a job class with a resource consumer group and put into effect a resource consumer plan that specifies that only one session from that resource consumer group can run at a time. This is easily extensible to cases where you want 2 or more running at a time from a certain job class (which dbms_lock doesn't support).
Code on how to set this up and more discussion is located here
Run Jobs One After Another
4) I will on occasion want to turn off sets of these tasks (like when the remote system is going to be down for an upgrade) - how best to structure things to make this easy to do (and how do I do this?)
Jobs and programs can be disabled. But if a job or chain tries to run a disabled program it will result in a failure (though it will be retried if you say that the job can be restarted).
[ 5) ] The Scheduler system seems to be a very rich and flexible environment, with a lot more options and features than I need, but I feel I should do more than just scheduling a single program with 45 procedure calls in it....
The Scheduler was intended to accommodate a wide range of usage from simple one-off background tasks to complex sequences of interrelated tasks. As with any other software development you should use it in the simplest way possible that does what you need it to do.
Hope this helps. Feel free to post any further questions.

Exporting to Excel data only using sub reports in Crytal 9

Post Author: pmstar
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal 9 verision.
I have .rpt file that used 4 sub reports .In the main report I placed all the sub reports in the(detail section) row and using the data for some caluculation in the main report to generate report fields.I placed the main report fields in next row( in detail section).However when i export the report .Its generating 5 empty rows and 3 rows with 0. I have pretty much followed the solution from the article "c2017620" published in BO.
Since i used the sub reports only to get some value for main report calculations .Is there any workaround for the following issue
1.I do not want to print the subreport data when exported to excel data only.
2.how can i get rid of the blank rows
We have a lot of reports which has the same issue and we need to get the reports to work in Excel Data only .The reports works perfect when used in PDF format but its mandatory that we need to give the reports to the client using Data only.
If possible, when responding with your recommendations, please include detailed steps. It would be very helpful.Thanks in advance,
PM

Hi,
Of what i gather from ur scenario...this is what i did in one of my reports.
I had to use two subreports and they had to occupy one cell each, in line with other fields.
To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....
try out...
All this only if've understood u right...

Ipad mini can send messages to android but ipad mini data only cannot, why?

My husband has ipad mini data only, I have ipad mini cellular and data ( but I never buy cellular plan except for trips, so only use wifi)I have both updated to ios8 latest version. I tested this: I sent ipad messages (using message app already on ipad) and sent messages to my own iphone 6 and my husbands ipad and someone elses iphone and then to an ANDROID phone, and it worked perfectly ( gave me a code to enter to do it) but when I tried sending to android phone off of my husbands ipad mini, it did red error message saying not delivered. same household, same wifi in same room, so I cannot figure out why his won't go through to android but mine will. bought ipad mini's same year, same model except one(his) data only, but both use same wifi (home) what do I need to do to make his send those text messages? that is what is actually being sent, text messages from the apple message app on both. please advise step by step and no I don't use cellular data on mine, just wifi).

text messages from iPad are actually sent from iPhone.
on iPhone, go to Settings > Messages
if you have the same Apple ID signed in from other devices, you should see a "Text Message Forwarding", tap and you will see a switch for other devices.
1. so just make sure your husband's iPhone and iPad are both updated to the latest iOS 8.
2. sign in iMessage from Settings on both devices with the same Apple ID.
3. check the "Text Message Forwarding" option on iPhone, follow the tips given to complete.
good luck!

Voice Calls Breaking Up on AT&T in the US

This is a continuation of the thread I started below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1653137
To summarize, voices break up(or cut in and out) when I am on a voice call. I live in the Northern NJ area and I haven't traveled lately so I haven't had a chance to see if I have this problem outside my area.
I determined that the problem is not with my iPhone for the reasons below.
1. I exchanged the iPhone for a new one and experienced the same exact problem.
2. I put my SIM card in another GSM phone(Nokia N70) and experienced the same problem when I used the Nokia phone for voice calls on the AT&T network.
Does anyone else experience this symptom on AT&T voice calls in other parts of the US?
I am planning to get a cell ranger signal booster to see if it helps.

I live and work 30 miles apart in California. I have noticed that voice calls are good were I live but break up were I work. I also noticed that the 3G signal is weaker were I work.
The last few days at work were very windy and the voice call broke up a lot to the point were I disabled 3G just to hear the person I was talking to. For some reason the wind seems to affect the quality of the voice 3G.
Side Note: Since my office is in a area were 3G is not that stable the signal will keep switching from EDGE and 3G when I'm inside my building. This seems to were the battery down faster so I found it better to keep 3G off when I'm at work. This does not happen in my home town were I get a great 3G signal.

"Data only" csv export. How to get the same data?

When I export to csv I get more data than when exporting to "data only". Why and how to get the same as when using "data only". I suppose it is because of some supressed lines, but why there is difference in the view (which is right) and in the export file?
I do not want to export to xls with "data only" and save as csv, because the exported csv is being read by another application, which is unable to convert it automatically.
The other way is to put constraints in the data selection for the whole report (and not by supressing lines). How to say {table.date}>=maximum({table.date}) in the in the data selection? There is not possible to use "maximum". Probably possible with array?
Thanks in advance

Ok, I managed it: I put the constraint in the group selection

New customers get more options because new customers didn't already agree to complete a 2yr contract before being able to get a new phone. If you had a line that wasn't under contract, you would get a better deal than new customers because while they pay $35 activation fee for a new line, you pay $30 upgrade fee for using an upgrade. You just have to finish your end of the deal before you can start a new one.

Blackberry 8320 crashes & reboots during voice calls

Hello,
I have a 8320 on T-mobile, the phone has worked well for well over a year. Over the last few months, the phone has begun to hard lock & reboot during voice calls. This issue happened suddenly, e.g. over the first year it never happened. Now, it happens all the time. I did update the phone to v4.5, but there is not correlation to the update to 4.5 and the issue occuring (it was working well with 4.5 for some time before the issue started up)
Basically, given a voice call which lasts over 60 seconds, there is about a 50% chance the phone will grey-screen and reboot.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Curve 8320, v4.5.0.81 (platform 2.7.0.78)
File free: 14268148 (after recent battery out reboot)
Application: no user-installed apps... just whatever comes w/ T-mo
After the issue started occuring, (per suggestion on the forums) I replaced the battery with a brand new Blackberry CS-2 battery... issue still occurs.
This is my wife's phone. There are no additional apps installed. It's basically used for SMS, brickbreaker, and voice calls (in that order...). No WiFI, no BT, no email. I really don't want to have to replace this phone, but it has become basically useless.
Any ideas or suggestions to try?

Actually, my wife now tells me that it has been happening almost right after I updated it to 4.5... so maybe there is a correlation.
I don't see the previous software on T-Mobile's site. Does anyone know how I can revert the phone to the older revision?
