Why is visual voicemail free for iPhone but not for other phones?

I recently activated an iPhone on my line -- temporarily -- and found that visual voicemail was included and didn't cost a dime. Can anyone explain why visual voicemail is free for iPhones but if you want it for any other phone it bears a monthly charge?

Also VVM is also free for everyone. The $2.99 is for the premium version. You can search the FAQ and there's a pricing list and shows what you get.

  • Airport works for iphone but not for imac

    Hi,
    My Belkin router, airport express, and printer, all show that everything is fine and my iPhone is able to connect wirelessly to the network via the airport.
    The problem is my computer registers the airport but can't find the network or the printer.
    In system preferences/networks the airport says it is on but it has a yellow dot next to it. Under network name, my internet network doesn't appear.
    At the moment I'm connecting through the ethernet and that has a green dot next to it. From this network pane I can turn the airport off and on again and it briefly registers the network, then it disappears again after about 20 seconds.
    I've tried rebooting both the computer and the airport a number of times.
    Can anyone help?

    My computer and airport have been working fine since I bought my iMac a year ago. This morning the computer no longer recognises the network and printer.

    Hello annadee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suggest powering-down the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a start to rule out any wireless conflicts between it and the wireless Belkin router.
    With just the Belkin running, can your iMac now access the Internet connected by wireless to the Belkin?

  • Why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera??

    why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones but not all the phones got the all upgrades, for example the panorama camera?? this is another reason I am starting to dislike apple. An ipod is able to us an upgrade but not all the phones are? makes sense

    "why is the ios6 compatible for all the iphones"
    Ios 6 is not available for all iphones. Original Iphone and iphone 3 are not supported.
    "but not all the phones got the all upgrades, "
    This is common for most any device/computer.  Not all iphone/computer/device models can handle all of the new features.  Like any device, hardware is limited and cannot always support all new features and software.

    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • Table of Contents page numbers works for PDF but not for other formats

    Hi,
    I followed exactly was indicated here regarding creation of TOC.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm
    The page numbers generated correctly for PDF but not for RTF, HTML and XLS.
    (HTML and XLS are understandably not paginated in nature but why not in RTF?)
    Tried to make the simplest example work, with 2 headings each on a separate page. Doesn't work on either MSWord 2003 or 2007.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Regards,

    Hi Kavipriya,
    What is your email address? I have attached a file in Oracle Metalink, under SR 3-5172030861. named test_toc.rtf
    You may use any xml because the template does not use any dynamic binding of values.
    The template is basically 2 pages, the TOC in the 1st page. First TOC item (Heading 1) is in Page 1, and Second TOC item is in Page 2.
    So the end result should be (PDF result from BI Publisher):
    First TOC Item .................. 1
    Second TOC Item ............. 2
    But for RTF it outputs:
    First TOC Item .................. 0
    Second TOC Item ............. 0
    And after doing Print Preview (once or twice)
    First TOC Item .................. Error in Bookmark
    Second TOC Item ............. Error in Bookmark
    Hope this is detailed enough to illustrate the problem.

  • TS3274 Getting sound for music, but not for game apps.  Checked settings and sound is on.  Any suggestions.

    My volume controls work and getting sound for music but not for game apps.  I did check settings and sound is turned on under notifications and in the app.  Any help would be appreciated

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't controlled via the side switch is controlled via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Disable Control Panel for users but NOT for administrators

    I'm unsure why Microsoft has not yet published this information.  I'm sure that sysadmins everywhere want more granular control of the control panel besides disabling for everyone or enabling for everyone, which is what it seems Microsoft wants me and
    you to do, disable CP for everyone, enable it every time I log on as admin and need to use it, then disable again.  Ridiculous.
    I am a consultant for a large company and our partners like to take as much control as possible.  I do too, for that matter.  Last week I began researching how to disable the control panel for everyone except admins.  I am operating under
    the assumption that non-admin accounts do not need access to control panel and it's better if they don't, especially in a production environment where the terminals the users are operating are mission critical.
    Finally, I found the answer.  I hope this helps you because it took me 3 days to finally find it.  It works.  I've tested it with admin and non-admin.  The great thing is, you can control any GP setting for non-admin users in this manner,
    not just the Control Panel.  You could disable any and all functionality not necessary for day to day operations for all your users but still maintain access to everything by logging on as an administrator.
    The question is answered here
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101869-local-group-policies-apply-all-users-except-administrators.html

    Don:
    Sorry for the confusion.  Not sure why my link is bad and yours is good.  They both appear to be identical.
    The issue with executing gpedit.msc is that when you apply a setting, the setting is for all users, even administrators.  If I want to disable access to the control panel, I do so for admins as well when simply executing gpedit.msc, which means if I
    log in and need access to control panel, I have to enable it in GP, do the work necessary and then disable it again (if I remember) when work is complete.  A bit of a drag, especially for busy admins and support techs.  On the other hand, following
    the instructions in the link disables control panel for all users except administrators.  So if I need to work with Control Panel as an admin, I've saved the enable, disable steps and don't have to worry about remembering as well.
    I hope that clarifies.  Thanks for your feedback.
    ok, thanks. I re-read the guide one more time and now I understand the logic - it creates a LocalGPO object, when gpedit.msc is launched in this very special way. It's kind of cool, even if rather niche. (I'm assuming that it only works for LocalGP and not
    for Domain GP).
    I think your original link had a trailing dot, but it's fine now.
    Thanks for clarifying - even after all these years, I am still learning new things :)

  • Block G/L Account  for posting but not for parking

    Hi all,
    is there a possibility to customize a G/L account in a way that it is blocked for posting but not blocked for parking?
    Kind regards,
    Georg

    Hi Georg-Stefan,
    Directly, you cannot define such a thing. G/L blocking works on every posting level.
    You can try, though, to pull a trick with a validation (OB28) checking on the BKPF-BSTAT field if it's not V - then block the posting. The prerequisites will be the G/L accounts, which can be organized in sets for better maintenance.

  • ISync works for iCal but not for Address Book

    Another lost soul. Can anybody suggest where I should start looking for the problem.
    I've just successfully modified my iSync so that it sees my brand new Nokia 6300. I have got the phone and my iMac to sync my calendar, but absolutely zero activity on the contacts front.
    Looking at the message on my Nokia, the Synchronisation Info message records changes to the Calendar but makes no mention of the Contacts. It is as if I've switched off the requirement to sync these somewhere.
    Any ideas for where to look?
    Frances

    I followed the instructions on http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.ht ml , including simply replacing my MetaClasses.plist with his. The site blog shows this worked for lots of people, but not for me
    Over the years I have found these Apple Discussion lists a very useful source of help, but I don't think I have ever come across a list with so many frantic pleas for help as this! ISync is a wonderful Idea, but it seems that it is far from plain sailing to implement.

  • Router works for desktop, but not for surrounding laptops.

    The router I have is the Linksys E1000. I bought it and hooked it up yesterday and works great for my desktop but not for my daughters laptop. Her laptop has wireless automatic internet recognitions which allows her to pick up surrounding internet networks. We cannot figure out how to make this work. Please help!

    Are you able to see your router's network  name on your laptop? If yes, then follow the below mentioned settings.
    Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >> Manage Wireless Networks, here remove all the networks present and close the Window...
    Click on Connect to a Network and try to re-connect to your Network, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...
    It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

  • Can I have auto adjust for RAW, but not for JPEG?

    I want auto adjust for RAW files, but NOT for JPEGs. I generate JPEGs from my adjusted RAWs and the last thing I want Bridge/ACR to do is to auto-adjust the generated JPEGs just because I looked at them in Bridge. Yet, I've been using auto-adjust on my RAW files for years and find it a useful starting point.
    Is there any way to configure ACR 4 to do auto-adjust on RAW files, but not on JPEG files?

    Anyone have any advice on this question? I like auto-adjust on RAW files. I like the idea of using ACR capabilities on some JPEGs, but letting ACR do auto-adjust on JPEGs that I generated from hand-tweaked RAW files just ruins the JPEGs completely. Thus, I'd like auto-adjust on RAWs, but not on JPEGs. Is there any way to do this?
