Why am I getting flooded with calls from a deactivated verizon wireless number?

Im not a verizon customer, but after spending several hours on the phone with their customer support to no avail, Im turning to the community for help.
The past two days Ive been flooded with calls from verizon wireless numbers in MO (mostly 636 area code). I try answering, no response. I call back, and after ringing twice I get a prerecorded message - "The verizon wireless number you're trying to call has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service", even when calling back seconds of the original call. Occasionally a voicemail is left, and its nothing but exactly 5 seconds of silence.
This is getting very frustrating, since its almost constant. Im averaging 4 calls an hour between the hours of 10am and 9pm, with a couple up until 11pm. I have no idea whats going, and its getting quite irritating, and Im burning through minutes checking and deleting all the voicemails.
Just for reference, some of the numbers are -
>Phone numbers deleted<
And they all give the same verizon message when called.
Any ideas or suggestions are great.

Your device may have this option:
If I get an annoying call, I will add them to my contact list as Spam and block the number on my device. The call will go straight to VM and funny, a message is never left.Problem Solved.
Also I agree with Jim, if this is a new number for you, just have it changed.

is a delay, but that is fine!)
Please help. what other information should i provide to help understand this issue better ?

What Reverse DNS Lookup does is attempt to validate that the piece of mail came from an IP that belongs to the domain in the EHLO/HELO command - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/233c0fde-7315-479a-a7fb-2e9d00ff73fd.mspx?mfr=true
So it doesn't directly filter spam (certainly possible to get spam from GMail/Hotmail servers that Reverse DNS Lookup will see as 'valid').

Hot to Make HTTPS GET and POST calls from ExtendScript

We are currently porting our ActionScript code to ExtendScript (JavaScript).
We performed HTTPS GET and POST calls from ActionScript with no problem. I can find no way to make HTTPS calls from ExtendScript. We tried jQuery, but after hours of work we can't get the ExtendScript engine to work with it - even a very, very old version of jQuery.
What do I do?
TIA,

Why do I get other iphones contacts from my itunes account on my phone?

Why do I get other iphone contacts from my itunes account on my phone? I get my wife and son's contacts in my iphone. I do not want. I have tried cloud and no cloud that only provides all the contacts or empty file of contacts.

What laptop are you refering to? Did the drive crash or is the laptop dead? Is the computer you want to transfer to a mac with Itune? If the other computer has Itunes,there are third part software that can transfer music and some file off an ipad to Itunes. Not sure about the Iphone. If you sync to another Itunes in another computer it will erase the ipad and install whatever is on the other Itunes. One of the third part apps. that comes to mind is Irip. Phone to Mac is another.

Why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad

why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad

Because you make a FaceTime call from FaceTime on the iPad.
On a Mac, you can start and iChat conversation from the Messages app and maybe that is what you are talking about. iChat can still be used in Mountain Lion in order to have a face to face conversation with other Mac users that are not running ML and therefore do not have FaceTime.

Why my iphone cant hear voice call from an android phone using viber apps?

Why my iphone4 cannot hear voice calls from an android phone using viber free call apps?

I second the question posed by Rysz....if you have ANYTHING set up at all (a mail account, etc) it will communicate with it's server..whether polling for new mail, syncing notes, etc.
Also, the 4S is designed to be PC Free, so check your General settings tab to make sure it's not checking for Software Updates. Also, are you backing up to iCloud? This will automatically do things in the background. Check the iCloud settings page.
And to ensure no apps are running, double click your home button. When the screen raises up it will show icons of any running apps. Hold your finger on one of them, and they will start to dance with X's on the corners. Tapping the X's closes the app. Close them all, then hold your home button and power button at the same time. Slide to power off, leave it off for a minute, then power back on. This will ensure no apps are running in the background.

I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB. Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating: "disk was disconnected improperly, always eject disk before disconnecting"?

I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB, I never unplug it. Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating, "Disk was disconnected improperly. Always eject disk before disconnecting."?

I never unplug the external harddrive, and the error message comes up only occassionaly upon startup. Maybe the USB connection gets disrupted enough to cause the computer to see it as disconnected and then reconnected while the iMac is powered.

Why do I get a humming noise from my stereo speakers when I plug in my airport?

Temporarily, please turn off your amplifier and/or powered speakers and disconnect the plug that goes into the AirPort Express audio jack.
Plug a pair of headphones directly into the AirPort Express and listen for a few minutes.
Do you hear the "hum" that way?

Reset the network settings, they must still say ATT/Cingular.

How can I turn this feature OFF ? It's annoying having 2 devices ring at the same time.

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds
I spent a while trying to seriously diagnose this problem with Skype support a year ago, but didn't get anywhere; I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the network at my end. But it's irritating me again now, so I thought I'd check whether anyone else gets this problem. It's incoming calls only, to the skype number only. I can recieve incoming calls from Skype fine, I can make outgoing calls to Skype and to telephone numbers fine, the problem affects both Skype on my Android Mobile (when it's connected to my home WiFi) and Skype on my Windows Desktop - so, not a software configuration thing.
When making a test call from my mobile to my Skype In number, it drops at the Skype end several seconds before the mobile notices the line is dead; definitely dropping out at the Skype level, and not the telephone network level.

Hi, ScottMaggie, and welcome to the Community,
I have referred your report to those to whom I report; I am not affiliated with Skype Customer Service.
What you so well describe here, a number transfer (highlighted by me in orange type) is not something Skype has the facility to do:
None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
In the system's simplicity, there is no flexibility.
Just out of curiosity ... and curiosity alone, have you checked the e-mail address on your account to double-check it is the correct registered e-mail address? I ask because I recently did a Skype Number renewal, and I received e-mail alerts every step of the way.
Best regards,
Elaine
