Why can't people call me in other states?

I am from California and recently moved to Alabama for school. For some reason in Alabama people cannot call me and it goes straight to voicemail, therefore I do not recieve calls. Only when I go home to california it will work.

I don't see any way this can be a problem with the phone. Your problem is with Sprint. Your account is not provisioned to let you roam outside of your home area, apparently. I didn't think they even had plans that did not include coverage anywhere in the US any more, but maybe you were grandfathered in on an old plan.
Going to Apple isn't going to solve anything. Call Sprint back.

Why can random people call me?

I'm tired of random people can contact me, either send a message as a request to come. On my list I have at least ten times checked both privacy and in chats that only people on my list to contact me. I've done both on the desktop version as on my smartphone and tablet. And yet, most men just break into my Skype, I'm sick. I mainly use Skype to communicate with my son and a few friends and I have already asked my settings to check but they all claim that the settings are correct, so no one outside my list can contact me, I hope this is quickly resolved.

unfortunately, there is no option yet to block/filter contact requests, regardless if they are requests from legitimate users or from possible spammers/scammers. The only things you can do at the moment is indeed to ignore and block them (and report them to [email protected]).
The Privacy Settings in Skype can only prevent/stop unwanted calls/instant messages from non-contacts, not contact requests.
"The Privacy Settings in Skype can only prevent/stop unwanted calls/instant messages from non-contacts, not contact requests."
@skype-User: First of all, you are contradicting yourself but thats not the real issue here. My profile as well is not protected as described by the skype terms and privacy settings I have set and agreed to. I have my profile set to private AND that ONLY my contacts may call me, video call me and instant message me. For skype to make privacy “options” available to a user -when their privacy settings do not actually work, they are directly infringing on the consumers’ right to be given an accurate description of the services skype is offering. If a consumer were considering making an account and are indeed making one based off of the described privacy settings and available features skype itself has advertised, skype is responsible to uphold their end of the bargain. Yet, they cease to provide the actual features they advertise and place people like myself in immediate danger. This is the very definition of false advertising, and it is an illegal act. I have screen shots of my account and my privacy settings. However, the disconnect in the services rendered is made more and more clear every time my skype lights up both my iphone and my PC with an unwarranted incoming video call from a complete stranger half way across the world. I have only ONE contact on skype. That sole contact is my husband, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. Skype and other comparable communication platforms are absolutely vital in our lifestyle. Due to the evident neglect on skype’s part I subsequently have screen shots of the most recent unsolicited call from 6:24pm this evening. I ignored this call as with the others; however, these people usually escalate in their attempts to contact me. I then have to deal with their persistent, vulgar and unprovoked instant messages. (Such was the unfortunate experience I endured tonight) Only after I tell them repeatedly to stop harassing me and that I will indeed report their actions do they finally stop. I have even tried creating a new account and making sure my settings are set appropriately as per skype’s tutorial, advertising and guidelines. But this is not a problem that I as a consumer have a solution for. This is wrong, and I know for a fact that it happens to other skype users every day. This is a situation that a consumer should never have to deal with nor should it be able to happen. Skype must fix this not just for the good of maintaining their company’s moral public image but also because it is an illegal act. So “skype-user” I find your answer to Vuchel’s concern disheartening. As your response is ignorant and false. I sincerely hope that skype rises up from under their umbrella of rapaciousness and hastily procures a sincere product for their consumers to utilize.

Why can't people hear me on the other end on my phone

your mic might not be working... exit the phone app and double click on the home button. this will bring up the multitasking apps. press and hold the apps and delete all of them with the red delete sign (does not remove the apps from the system). then shut down your iphone and turn it back on in a few seconds. after this, make sure mute is off (it will light up blue if its on) and try calling someone. this should solve the problem

Why can't people hear me when I answer the phone?

I've been having the SAME problem. I've made 2 trips to the "Genius" bar and they can't seem to find a fix. It will work for a few minutes after I do a software restore and then *poof* suddenly stop working altogether. Nobody can hear me although I hear them perfectly fine... and it doesn't matter where I am or if I'm on bluetooth, speaker phone, iPhone, etc. I am frustrated along with you Kathiem.

Why can't we call procedure in sql stmt

Hi,
Why can't we call procedure in sql stmt?

Assuming (as Billy mentioned) that the question refers to SELECT statements (also assuming that "stmt" is short for "statement", nice time-saving abbreviation, thanks for that), you cannot use procedures because there is no concept of a procedure in an SQL query, and possibly in declarative languages in general (computer scientists may correct me here).
How would it work? Everything in a SELECT list has to return something - it's the whole point of a SELECT list. Procedures by definition do not have a RETURN clause (yes you can RETURN to end processing, yes there are OUT parameters, but that is not the same thing). Perhaps you could post an example of the syntax you have in mind.

Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Try going to setting->general->reset-> reset network settings. And see if that works.
You may also want to contact your carrier and see if there is anything funny going on with your profile.
Best of luck let me know if this helps.

That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

Why can't people hear me when I answer a call?

When I receive a call, there is a long delay before the caller can hear me.

After getting off the phone with apple support, they've given me a fix. Basically, there was some problem with my hardware settings so they told me to reset the PRAM. Basically, just hold down OPTION + COMMAND + P + R at the same time right after you hit the power button and hold those suckers down until you hear your computer chime twice. Then you let go and then you can make a call and everything just works great. WEIRD!
Great feature, though.
