Using iPhone as an apartment callbox number?

I was just curious if there was a reason you couldn't use iPhone as the apartment call box number? I have it set up as is (I don't have a land line any longer) and the call from the box comes through, but pressing the button doesn't seem to give a sustainable tone to open the door. Has anyone else had any issues doing this? Is there a way to set up the iPhone to have a long keypad tone instead of a beep?

No, there is no way to adjust the duration of the DTMF tones on the phone. There are 3rd party apps that might help, search the app store for 'DTMF' and try one of the free ones.

  • Can i use iphone 5 with my other att lines do i need a new sim?

    can i use iphone 5 with different phone number than the one i used when i ordered the phone if i have a family plan with muliple lines

    Yes u can. I upgrades my wife's phone and I use the new iphone 5 with my number.  Take it your carrier and get a different SIM card.  Bring your ID and u must be the primary account user.

  • How can i get my new (used) iphone to use my previous number?

    i got a used iphone 4 from my brother who upgraded to a 4S. how can i move my number from my old phone onto the new one? i have AT&T. we're on the same family account. i can't see in the AT&T settings page how to assign the number to a different phone. thanks!

    You will probably have to take into an ATT store for them to assign your old number to the new phone.

  • Use Find My iPhone w/ Just a Serial Number

    I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4s from a 4.  After a few weeks, I removed my old phone (iPhone 4) from the Find My iPhone web page application.  About a week ago, I took out the old phone to charge it, and it mysteriously dissappeared. 
    All I have for the old iPhone is the serial number.  I have a suspecision that a particular person took the phone as that person was at my house around the last time that I remember seeing the phone and shortly thereafter, this unemployed person got an iPhone.  This is only a suspicion, and I will not make and acusation without proof.
    Cell phone service for the device was discontinued when the new phone was activated.
    Is there any way for me to locate MY iPhone with only the serial number of the device?  Apple support says that there is not.
    Surely there is a way to locagte the phone by serial number.  I have proof, via my apple account, that this device is owned by me.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think find my Iphone was set up, but I'm not sure.  If it has been stolen and someone is now using it, they will probably connect via a cellular network and or wi-fi.
    The problem is that I deleted the device from the Find My iPhone web site and now would like to "turn it back on".

    I can't call to a mobile number since yesterday, but still can receive call from the same number. I am using iphone 4s. Is there any setting error?

    you have to make sure that CFWD Bridge Mode under the Line tab of the SPA9000 where the SPA400 is registered is set to ALL...include VMSP Bridge and XFER Bridge Mode as well..power cycle then check if you are still getting one-way audio

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

  • I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
    track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
    Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
    to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
    who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it.

  • Need to find original phone number for used iPhone 4...

    I purchased a used iPhone 4 and blew it because the guy I bought it from had factory reset and upgraded the phone to ios7 but he did not disable 'iCloud' and the 'findmyphone' app. Now it won't activate without his old account info.
    I need to get hold of him and thought that his phone number might still be accessible on the unactivated phone...
    Any way to get the old phone number out of the phone so I can contact him and have the phone removed from his iCloud account?
    Thanks...

    Darn no coverage by the website Aye sorry mate best thing to do is to turn it over to police and see if there's a stolen device report because if you can't reach the guy on craiglist for a replacement well....
    Just "Sayian"
    Next time you buy a device 2nd hand have them stand in front of you and Tap erase all content and settings

    Hello Nikkii,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)
    After each step, toggle FaceTime and iMessage off and then on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    Verify that you can send SMS messages. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions or blocks on text messages. Blocks on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration.
    If you are unable to activate iMessage or FaceTime on a device after remote wiping it, wait at least 24 hours and try again.
    If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT4759 i have lost my iphone i dont have iemi number but i used icloud id on that as there any way to locate my phone and if not located the plz tell my the way i remove my data from it. thanks

    i have lost my iphone i dont have iemi number but i used icloud id on that as there any way to locate my phone and if not located the plz tell my the way i remove my data from it. thanks

    Go to icloud.com.  Log in with your Apple ID & Password.  Go to the Find My iPhone section.  Perform a remote wipe of the device.
    You don't have to have downloaded any app.  You only have to have enabled the Find My iPhone option under Settings > iCloud.  If you did not do that, then you cannot remotely access the device.
    If that's the case, then change ALL of your account passwords; email, banking, etc.  All of them.  And then monitor those accounts very closely!

    Is the iPhone 5 (at least on verizon, which mine is) really unlocked?
    The sim slot in all Verizon iPhone 5's is officially unlocked out of the gate. The phone will work just fine in the UK using any compatible carriers's sim.
    If it will work in the UK, what type of sim would I need? I think I saw the mention of a nano sim- is that correct?
    You need a Nano sim card which you can get from any supported iPhone carrier in the UK.
    You don't need to do anything with Verizon but fulfill your existing contract.
    Bear in mind, warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will not support LTE using any UK sim.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:
