What is My Home Phone beta

Hi, john.bell980, and welcome to the Community,
Sign on to your Skype account dashboard where you manage your payment methods and subscriptions.  You should see a tile that says Skype Number; if you click on that icon/box/tile, your number will be shown.

  • Home phone number hacked, what to do?

    I don't know if this belongs in this forum but I don't see a forum specifically for home phone service issues. I've used one of the "Bell" incarnations for my local and long distance service for 40 years with the same phone number. For some time I've noticed long distance charges to numbers on our bill that I don't recognize. I've not thought a lot about it, assuming the wife was making those calls. We pay 8 cents per minute and each call only last a minute or two so the dollar amount has not been large. This month I asked the wife about the calls and she told me none of them were hers. Looking more closely some were supposedly made when we weren't home and others while we're not awake. Some were make to Florida and a number to area towns. Very few of the numbers called are familiar to us. We live alone so no one could have made those calls from our home. It seems someone has figured out a way to hack the AT&T system to place long distance calls and get them charged to my account. I'm not interested in receiving credit for past calls BUT I need to find a way to stop future abuse. Yesterday evening I spent over 30 minutes on hold with AT&T customer service and finally got connected to an agent who's primary language is not English. He was polite and was trying to help but I had a real problem trying to understand him. We somehow got disconnected. He did not call back. It was too late to start the process all over again and I really have no desire to spend forever on hold then have to work with someone I can't understand. Hence my post here. I need some guidance. How can I stop the fraudulent calls? How can I stop those that are made from being put on my bill? Will I have to change my number? I've had the same number for 40 years and would hate to give it up unless absolutely necessary. Help?

    How are you getting your home phone service? - old school copper wire, Uverse voice, wireless home phone?How are you getting your internet service? - dial up, dsl, Uverse?It almost sounds like old school malware where your computer woud be used to call phone numbers using a modem.Have you done a physical survey of your house and property for any evidence of phone tapping?Look into getting the AT&T wireless home home with unlimited long distance in the states for around $25 a month - more secure and you can port your number over.

  • I have a wireless home phone connect device. Can call out on it when dial tone present, but most times cannot receive calls since purchase. Anyone else having a  problem with their home connect device?

    Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
    I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
    What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
    I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • How can I use two different wireless home phone terminals, different locations, one at a time same phone number

    I have two locations and want to have a wireless home phone at each location with the same home phone number. Only one terminal will be used at a time.

    That's not what a cell phone is.
    You are talking about some kind of a separate communication system.  Like a walkie talkie or something that works over broadcast.  IP phones may be able to do something like that but you would somehow have to register the system to a single cell phone number, which wont work without a SIM card.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600-a: Can't Fax after converting to Verizon Home Phone

    Can anyone provide me with a solution?
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 All In One worked just perfectly prior to converting our home telephone from AT&T/Frontier to Verizon Home phone service.
    Now, I can't send nor receive a fax.  What I've read on the "net", it appears I will need to junk my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 and buy a new unit compatible with Verizon Home phone service. It would be a shame to junk a unit that is not even 1 year old.
    My hope is someone here has come across a solution!
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you all for your input.
    Please understand I did not rush into making this Home Phone change to Verizon. I met with the same Verizon "agent" 3 separate days at 3 separate times.  Together we went over point-by-point all of my requirements.  We did cover faxing capabilities. Still I was sold a product that didn't fit my basic needs.
    Hopefully, I am still within my window to cancel.
    I need to be able to fax, so I have a lot of work to do to straighten this mess out.
    Thanks again!

    Hi,
    can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

  • Re Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect garbled voice problems

    I hooked up a Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect device and plugged my Panasonic KX-TG5665 5.8 GHz Digital Gigarance phone base into the home phone connect device in the center of my home.  We have several Panasonic extension phones in different rooms in the house.  This changed the quality of my phone service to terrible , to the point where we don't even want to answer the phone.  Incoming callers are complaining that we are "garbled" and difficult to hear and understand.  It also sounds like the callers are garbled as well.  We can no longer use the "speaker" on the phones because the voices are so garbled. I plugged in a wired phone to the Verizon device (which meant answering the phone at the Verizon device, which is not convenient) and the incoming callers say that our voices are "less garbled".   I need to know how to fix this problem.  I hesitate to go out and buy new phones until I know if this is a Verizon device problem.  What phone systems work well with this device?  We have a large 2-story home and live in an area with a lot of oak trees, and need to have reliable phone service (not just in one room with a corded phone).

    I had to check and see if this was a recording of one of many calls I made to Verizon about my problems. I have had it almost 2 yrs now and HATE IT!! No one can fix it talking on it is as tyvm518 and pete92833 have said, it is so "garbled" The worse thing is that when places put  you on hold and play music ! OMG I feel like I will bawl it is so  horrible! No one understands that at all! I have changed phones, bought phones and even borrowed phones from family to check it out. Little or no change at all. The last tech that I spoke with even went so far as to say that "I should never been connected with this set up because when she checked it out I had little to no signals in my area. But nothing was done about it. I was told a couple of times that they would send someone out to check it for me. I have MS, am disabled and elderly. My husband is ill and 74. I rely on my phone and my PC a lot. I wanted to get out of my contract after she told me that it was basically they who were in the wrong to set me up. After all I only had a few mo to go. But she said that I would have to pay a "FINE TO CANCEL EARLY"!! I did tell her that I hate it and and will not be resigning another contract! Maybe that is why they do not call back? I NEVER lose my temper, use bad language or nor disrespectful. I use my daughters AT&T cell phone most of the time now.

  • Does: home phone adapter + online number = ability...

    i have not found any information that says specifically that non-skype callers can call you via a home phone adapter or a Skype-ready cordless phone.  I know you can call out, but what about receiving calls?  Anyone here have a skype-ready cordless phone? 

    I'm also considering buying phone adapter.  And to get a phone # attached to it to be able to receive any regular call on the phone (not on the computer) - do I just get an online number - is there any other option?
    I did not find any related info in FAQs, etc.

  • What causes my i4s phone to randomly shutdown?

    What causes my 4s phone to randomly shutdown?

    Do you have a case on the iPhone? Maybe it's pressing on the home and sleep buttons, making it reset itself.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the iPhone then seting up service.

  • Are there any known good home phone systems for the Home Phone Connect

    I've had the Home Phone Connect now for several months.  I have had a Panasonic KX-TG7641 for a good while now.  I bought this system to connect a cell phone through the Bluetooth to make a receive calls at home.  This cell phone stayed docked in the charger next to the Panasonic base station.  There were a few extra steps involved in order to make calls using the Bluetooth and every time my mother-in-law visits it is an extensive training process to show her how to use the phone.  Every. Time. She. Makes. A. Call.
    I saw the HPC and figured I could simplify the system and since the cell we kept connected was off contract, I got the HPC for free and signed up for 2 years with it. This was a mistake.  While I can always hear the callers on the line, they sometimes report that I am too garbled to understand.  Today I knew I was going to be on the phone on hold for a while, so I used my home phone handset for comfort (vice holding my Galaxy up to my head for an extended period of time)
    After a 30 minute on-hold with the Veterans Administration I finally got through to an operator who informed me she could barely hear me/broken and garbled.  Where I have my HPC at it is right in a window and I have steady 2 bars on it always.  I told her I could call back on my cell phone, but she insisted we power through it so I wouldn't have to wait again on hold.  Well we eventually made it through the call. 
    After hanging up I used my Google powers to see what the issue it/how to fix it.  It appears that the people that have issues when using the HPC also have Panasonic phones/base stations connected to it.       This might be because Panasonic phones are widely available and are the most common ones in use, but it might also be in that something is incompatible between the 2 systems.  Odd, since the way it connects is similar to an old POTS.  Could it have something to do with the DECT 6.0 that hey use (on the 1.9GHz band) where other older devices use standard 2.4 or 5.8?

    Thank you for the tip.  Sorry if it's the wrong forum.  I don't post here often.  I searched for the Home Phone Connect under devices and found it under "Other" so figured this was the best place to post it.  Could you point me to the correct place for the HPC discussions? 
    I'll double check later when I'm home on my computer to see iff the problems being reported are all using the DECT 6.0 (1.9GHz).  Might be causing some interference of some sort.

  • Home phone blocks my cell phone?!?

    For some time when I call my home phone number on my cell phone, my home phone blocks me. It doesn't do it with any other phone. Could there be something on my cell phone that blocks me from calling that number?

    What do you hear when you call?? Any message or error code??

    No dial tone on home phone, check phone line is all I get.

    We cannot help unless you tell us how the phone is connected and what equipment it is connected to. Make and models.

  • No home phone and no one can find my number

    I came back from vacation only to find I had no phone service. i contacted Verizon's customer service who said I have no home phone with them. After further research i was told it was ported over to Cox but I didn't do it. They transferred me to tech support , who then transferred me to new account who said I needed customer service (again) that was experiencing waits of 10 mins (again). Finally hung up. Long story short, Verizon said it was ported over to Cox. Cox has no record. No one knows what happened to my number!

  • Echo on Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect-Why? How to Correct?

    Several months ago we switched from Verizon land line service to "Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect". (4G Cellular). Up until a month or so ago all was good. Now we have a very strong ECHO on our end only (the person on the other end does not hear it) during many calls. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. But we've not seen any pattern (time of day, etc.) Also, it always lasts for the entire call; does not come and go during a call.
    This echo is so annoying that we hate to make or answer a phone call.
    What is the cause of the echo?  How can it be corrected?
    Perhaps coincidentally, the signal strength has dropped from a consistent 3-4 bars to a consistent 1-2 bars. Can't help but wonder if there is a correlation.
    If we cannot get this corrected we will go back to a land line; and NOT likely Verizon.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

    YosefT_VZW, Thanks for your reply.  To answer your questions:
    1.     Yes, the antennae if fully extended (and has not changed since installation).
    2.     This is not a land line and I have no land lines in the house. But it occurs with all connected extension phones (1 cordless set of 4, and 1 hard wired desk phone).
    3.     And, Adjusting the volume does not make any difference to the echo problem.
