Happy 10/10/10! Can people with phone-service-based voicemail set their boxes to "full" prematurely? For my home phone service, there's an answering machine, not the kind of voicemail that the company could provide me. With my cell phone, of course the only voicemail option IS the company's internal version. I don't know for that one any way to set my box to "full" prematurely for some callers, while I do know how you can block someone, but I wonder if some people CAN just make their inboxes look as if they're "full" to some people. Is that really possible with some voicemail services? Again, happy 10/10/10 today, especially when 10:10 comes back around tonight! Will you come back and check to see if I have any follow-up responses for your answers, please? Thanks, if so. Mike

How do I add options for two different boxes to my Verizon Wireless voicemail? I would like callers to be able to "press 1 to leave a message for..." and "press 2 to leave a message for ..." at one verizon wireless number. The verizon wireless customer service people have told me that it is not possible, but I know that I have heard it when I have called others who have Verizon. The enhanced plan doesn't offer it...I checked. Any ideas? Thanks.

What happens to calls to my cell phone when I am out of the service area and getting no signal? I have verizon for wireless phone service. Does anyone know what happens to calls that try to come through when you are out of the service area and getting no signal? Do the callers get routed to voicemail or do they get some type of message stating the caller is out of the service area? I am just curious if they are still able to get to my voicemail box. Thanks for your replies.

Can people listen to you deleted ("press #3 to delete) voice messages? I recently called an office with which I work, left a message, and used the option ("Press 3 to delete and rerecord") to rerecord my message. I did this a few times. Is there anyway for the office to retrieve and listen to the messages that I deleted? Does anybody know of any mobile service, voicemail system, or voicemail software which has the option for the owner of the number to listen to the messages callers think they deleted?

VOIP goes direct to voicemail? Does anyone subscribing to a home voip phone service have trouble with incoming calls going direct to voicemail and not ringing in the home?

when you call a prepaid phone with no minutes on it continue to ring and go to voicemail? Or does an operater or w.e. let's the caller know that the phone is temporarily out of service? I'm not sure what provider the person has. All I know is that the person has a old Razr phone.

I signed up for a service called Trapcall and now I can't access my voicemail.? My friend recommended trapcall.com so I could see restricted callers, so I signed up for it, checked my voicemail, and it redirects me to an answering service called "telequest communications". They said they get that problem a lot but they are not sure why and how. I deactivated my trapcall account and the problem persists.

Site to download a call tone for anonymous/private callers? My gf has been getting anonymous calls from someone on her cell. We go through Sprint, and they don't have a service to block private calls. She always answers though because she's afraid that if it goes to voicemail, that the caller will somehow figure out her passcode to her voicemails and......I don't know, but she's paranoid....lol. Anyway, what we're looking for is a call tone (what the caller hears instead of ringing) that says "the person you are calling does not accept calls from private #'s". Then we can set this calltone to play for the private caller. Sounds good in theory anyway. Please let me know if any of you knows of a website that has this particular call/voice tone. Thanks. By the way: phone is a Samsung A900.

how much does basic home phone (land line) service cost? I want to get *very* basic phone service - no long distance, no caller ID, no voicemail, no nothing. Just a dialtone and the ability to make local calls, pretty much. Does anyone have that sort of phone service, and how much does it cost you? Verizon is my local carrier, if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Where to buy front-end voicemail system? I am doing some research on an answering system for our doctor's office, which would answer the phone, then transfer callers to appropriate voicemails to leave a message. I would like one that has the option to transfer to a live receptionist to avoid frustration - we are simply looking to simplify procedures in caring for routine calls, like prescription refills, etc. Is there a stand-alone product like this that doesn't require a monthly fee, or going through an answering service? I'm confused by the options, and I don't really see what we're looking for.

Questions about telephone service and home detention? Okay so I'm reading through this manual because a resident will be placed under home detention. 4) I shall have “working telephone service” at all times. I will not have any additional features including but not limited to: call-waiting, call forwarding, call block, voice mail, answering machine, caller ID, or a dial-up internet service. If the telephone is registered in another name, the above conditions still apply. 5) I shall not have a cordless or cellular telephone connected to my Electronic Monitoring telephone number. This is the stuff it says reguarding a telephone line. Our current telephone services has call waiting, caller-ID, voicemail/answering machine. As I understand it, simply having a corded telephone does not meet the conditions required... So would it be safe to say that we would have to either change our services or add another line specifically for the use of the home detention without all of the prohibited services?

Best home phone/internet service in Toronto, ON? I'm having a hard time deciding on a home phone service. I'm currently using Comwave which is so-so at best. They're cheap for a reason. They are VOIP so I need a Dry-Loop on my DLS (I'm with Uniserve). But I've been having so many problems with my internet lately I haven't had reliable internet/phone in over a month. I'm looking for a proper phone service. So far I've looked at Bell, Rogers and Yak. Yak is the cheapest, but don't know much about them. Bell is a little more expensive but I hate them as a general rule. And Rogers is very high priced (because I don't have any other services with them). I'm willing to go for a combo phone/high-speed internet combo if it looks good. For phone I I want unlimited local calling, Voicemail, Caller ID and Call Waiting. Cheap long distance rates to Jamaica would be nice but not necessary. For internet I want at least 5mbps connection with high/unlimited download limit since that's what I currently have. My current rates are $20/month for Comwave & $40/month for DSL (including Dry-loop charge). I'm willing to pay a little more but not too much more, and above all else it must be RELIABLE! Any suggestions?

Internet without a Land Line in Mississippi? We're thinking of switching from our current internet service with CableOne in Winona, MS 38967 and switching to another service provider, but we're having trouble finding something that's affordable and does not require a landline, as we use cellphones. CableOne recently made some changes to the services they offer, and now the cheapest internet they offer is 3Mb for $43 a month (website not yet updated). Currently we are on an outdated plan, which is 384k for $23 or so a month. Bellsouth/AT&T offers DSL without a landline (aka naked or free-standing dsl) for $19.95 a month (for 768Kbps), but apparently our address does not qualify for this, though I think I'll call and make sure. If it really does not qualify, we would have to spend at least $20 on a landline we would never use other than for the internet. Other DSL and internet providers are the same, they require a landline phone. I've looked into Comcast, but we were considering getting DirecTv for cable, and the only way it's cheap is when you have the Comcast tv service as well. I've looked into lots of other places as well. So...suggestions anyone? I don't suppose there's anyplace that will give you a landline for dirtcheap? We don't need voicemail, caller ID, long distance, or anything, because the only use for the line would be for internet usage, but it'd have to be on all the time I guess, not sure how DSL works in that respect. I've looked into satellite internet providers already, and the cheapest I've seen was 50 or so dollars, and we can't really afford that. There was a promotional price for around 40 dollars, but it shot right back up to the regular, more expensive price soon after.

What does the caller hear when calling a cell phone that's been destroyed? I'm not quite willing to damage one to find out. I'm writing a story in which someone calls a cell phone which was in an explosion, and I don't know if she'll hear a ring, be shunted to voicemail, hear nothing at all, or receive some automated message about the phone not being in service. I'd appreciate experience-based replies rather than best guesses. C'mon, you know you've called your friend when his/her cell phone was toast.

Cell service has been spotty today. Strong winds today in Indiana as a result of Hurricane Ike. Anyone else? I am located in Evansville, Indiana. Some parts of town without power.

How do I enable call forwarding on my Qwest landline for YouMail? I want to enable call forwarding on my Qwest landline telephone. The *72 and #72 tricks do not work (I get a message saying my call cannot be completed as dialed). I want to do this in order to use YouMail's voicemail/ditchmail service on my landline (considering I get way too many wrong numbers and spammers despite being on the Do Not Call List). Can someone help me figure out how to enable call forwarding or find a way to get YouMail to work with my Qwest landline? Or is there another free service I can use to ditch unwanted callers?

Best plan for an avid texter? I rarely talk on the phone and would like a data plan for web browsing, etc. My primary concern is reliability with the smaller companies so I just wanted to get some recommendations on what plan to go with? I am the only one in the family who needs a phone though. Or I could join my friend's family plan with AT&T and pay 1/5 with unlimited texting under 79.99 plan. If you were in my shoes, who would you use? --Virgin mobile $25/M unlimited email, data, text, and web. 300 mins --Straight Talk 1000-Minute Service Card $30/month. 1,000 Minutes, 1,000 Text or Multimedia Messages, 30 MB of Mobile Web Access (on Mobile Web Access enabled phones) --Cricket $35/M unlimited talk, long distance, text, voicemail, caller ID --ATT around 20-30/M unlimited text, 200 mins, FREE PHONE I think it all boils down to which is more reliable and cheaper? What plan do you have right now and if you got to choose again which would you go with!?

Reporting a business? I recently became aware of a service that lets you have voicemail for free while you are unavailable to take call's however, When calling this service to use it I dialed the number wrong and a under 18 Sexualy expicit show came on were girl's underage would talk to a man who seems to be in his 50's and tell him about their "experiances." the way this voicemail works, is you can leave a voice message for callers as long as you want. I'm very concerned about this and since then have stoped using the service. I tried to call/contact the service about this vile person using the service but they only have an automated answering service telling you how to use the account and their website has no way of contacting them, I tried contacting other services to report abuse and you have to have information I just can't get a hold of. My question is, How do I stop this man from using this service to exploit children? Is there anything I can do. I still have the number of this man's "voicemail" ***I have tried the BBB. they need more information about the company they said. like an address or city and which I do not know.

Has anyone reached the limits of Fax-Modem? Hello friends! This is Prabhakaran from India. Before a few a weeks I came to know that we can send fax using pc if we have a fax modem in the pc. In our office we are already having a fax machine integrated in a PBX(Private Branch Exchange). If we are getting a fax from outstations first we get call on one of the terminal. Then the caller asks us to give them the fax tone. After this we will forward that call to the fax machine (For instance we will press *, 25 to give the fax tone.) They get the fax tone and send the fax and our fax machine prints it. I tried the fax modem and integrated into one of the terminals of the PBX. And also I requested a person to send a fax from outside. Again the main phone rang. And the caller wanted me to give the fax tone. This time I forwarded the call to the fax modem instead of fax machine. This time also the fax printed but through the printer connected on the pc on which the fax modem connected. We only tried upto this. No What I want to know is whether fax modem only receive fax tones i.e. not able to change the voice signal into fax signal. For instance, assume you are having a pc and a fax modem in your home. And I am having a Tele-fax machine in my home. Suppose, that I want to send a fax to you (Assume you are having a Telefax machine). What we normally do. First I call the user, then the user take the phone. I tell him to give me the fax tone. Then he presses the fax receiving button in the Telefax machine. And his voice being cut off and I will get a fax tone. And then I start to copy the document and sent it. My question is supposed if you are having only fax modem. How can I send the fax to you? How I call you? How you answer Me? How you give me the fax-tone? And vice-versa. I hope you help me friends. I think that it not necessary to buy a dedicated line for the fax modem, if we are able to pick up both voice signals and fax signals using the fax modem and change it as necessary. I am also happy if any one can say the using limits of voice modem along with the pc. For example, IVR(Interacted Voice Response Service) related and voicemail facilities with the help of hard-disk.

I have TV Internet and Phone through the Cable company I need help with wiring? I have TV, Phone and Internet through the cable company, the cable modem for internet was hooked to a line already in the place, and so was the 1 tv i have with a digital box, but the line for the phone had to be ran extra...i have two questions...does anyone have problems with this i guess its basically VOIP phone, sort of like Vonage? Cause the phone hooks to a modem that gives dial tone then it blinks, and I imagine uses the internet..only problem I foresee but hasn't happened yet, but with summer coming up and the thunder storms and all, if you lose power for a day or so or more then 5 or 6 hours, you are without a phone? so I was told, the modem for the phone don't work without power, only 6 to 8 hours..that kinda stinks but for 30 dollars a month for unlimited long distance caller id voicemail (the works) it isn't too bad I think, and I get to use my normal phone... my second question is this...I never had cable before besides for TV..never for internet, let alone phone service..the two lines that feed one to the TV box, and the other to the cable modem for internet, I pay for 1 digital box, and the rest basic cable but so i wont have such a huge bill i told them i would run the cable myself, so question is, if i put a splitter on the wall jack that feeds the cable modem for the internet, and then run it to the modem, and to the tv in the room, will i lose any internet speed, or have bad picture on the tv? or will this work at all? being totally new to cable internet and phone, i am not sure... if you need to ask me anything feel free to see my profile or just ask your question in your answer, and i will check it and add my reply in "additional details" thanks :-) I have already unplugged the modem for the phone, and some lights on it go out, but it still works, but for how long I don't know..I haven't tested it...

What's the Cheapest way to Own an Iphone in Canada? I want to get an iphone, but right now the price is not right in a monthly respect. Is there some way to buy one off Ebay for $500 and get either just the phone service for ~ $ 25 a month or also some Data for up to ~40 dollars a month without contract? i dont mind spending money on the initial product, its the subscription that worries me. Also, dont need caller id, voicemail etc. just some calling minutes. 100 would be enough

My Caller id doesnt work!!? U know how there's that service menu on some verizon phones((menu, then 00000)). well i'd been messing around in there, and i think it disabled my caller id and voicemail. so whenever i get a call, i dont know who it is. and i cant even access my voice mailbox. pls help i know i shouldnt have messed around in that menu. the other thing is, is that its flashed to metro. although every thing was working fine while it was under metro.

What do you think about this? I recieved a voicemail on my cellphone from a caller looking for a person I didn't know (The caller had the wrong number). Let's call the person the caller was looking for "Bill Smith" even though that wasn't his name. The automated message said something like "This is a message for Bill Smith. This is a confidential call. If you are not Bill Smith you should hang up the phone at this time *pause* By continuing to listen to this message you have confirmed that you are Bill Smith. This is a an automated call from debt collection services. We are attempting to reach you. Please call ########." I have recieved many many many calls for "Bill Smith" before, but just from people saying "I'm looking for Bill Smith please return my call. This is an urgent business matter". Usually they leave messages because my phone isn't on. The reason I listened to this message was to see if it might help me figure out why I've been getting calls for this person over and over. My question is. Do you think I had a right to listen to this message? If a company or debt collection agency sends something to my cellular phone, do they really have a right to tell me I can't listen to it? I feel like once the information is sent to me, it's in my domain and I can do with it as I wish, and that it is the responsibility of the sender to send information to the correct place. What do you think?

What do you think about this ethical question? I recieved a voicemail on my cellphone from a caller looking for a person I didn't know (The caller had the wrong number).

A question about Caller ID? From time to time I get calls from a party where the number does show up in the caller ID. Yet because it is not a number that I recognize, I let it go to voicemail. (Telemarketers rarely leave voicemail). Sometimes curiosity gets the best of me and I'll call right back. So how can I get a messages that states that "this number is no longer in use" only seconds later? Coincidence? Probably, but it is more probable than not that this has not happened because of the number of such calls. What gives? What's going on? Are there relay or forwarding services that originate from a "disconnected" number? "...It's the government, man. They're watching you..." That's GREAT! Maybe they're hiring and I can drive around in a gov't car with Dept of Sumthin' on the side and be reimbursed for my gasoline.

Weird phone calls from strangers? Hey guys, I think I thought I was being pranked by a couple of friends at first, but aged ago I had a voicemail message saying "hey it's me, *bunch of gibberish can't understand" love you *my name*". I laughed and I thought I knew who it was but I checked and found that it wasn't. So I just left it at that. But today in school I received a text saying nothing from a phone number that I didn't know, and I replied "who r u". There was no answer for a while, but tonight I checked my voicemail and found a message sent to me earlier saying stuff about being in Canada and something about biology and girlfriend stealing. They had an American accent (I'm British) so I assumed it was a random kid pranking a random number. But then, about halfway through the mentioned my name. I froze. WTF??? I tried calling back but it said Blocked Caller so they were annonymous. I tried the number from the text but no reply. But I know they were faking the accent because the voicemail was a uk service.and I also put my number on fb recently. So guys, how the fuck do I find out who it is, and what to do if I'm being stalked. Thanks.

So here's my question...how long? And can I reactivate a phone and have this offer? OR do I have to buy another phone? Anyone have this plan let me know detail please:) Thanks.

Why are there so many apps running in the background of my EVO? I just switched to the evo from the mytouch 3g. on the mytouch the advanced task killer app was my best friend due to it's low ram space. i figured with the evo i wouldn't even need it because of the large amount of ram it has. so i installed the advanced task killer just to see how many apps i have running. there were soooo many apps running and i proceeded to kill all the ones that i THINK aren't being used by any of the apps/services that i mainly use. now my buddy informed me that android has a built in task killer that has 8 different levels of importance when it kills off tasks. it also has a threshold of about 36M of ram before it starts to kill off tasks. but that's a bit low for me. it's also very draining on the battery to have 25 apps open and running. my question is why doesn't it just keep the native apps running that other apps and services are using and kill of any apps that don't fit into the 6 allowed multi-tasked apps? also it keeps opening apps like voice dialer,youtube, music, gallery, maps, urban dictionary, facebook, easy note, voicemail and sprint football and i haven't touched any of these apps in who knows how long! why does it keep opening them and I'm not opening them? this is really urking me! since every time i go in the ATK and all of these apps are constantly being opened on their own I have an auto kill setup to kill these apps every time i turn my screen off. if you're wondering these are the apps that i have ignored: weather channel, power manager, handcent sms, whitepages caller id, ebuddy, dolphin browser, messages, weather, clock, tikl, sportstap and gmail.

Which is the best UK landline rental company? I left BT a while back for the Post Office HomePhone which then charged by the second without a connection charge (but now connection charges apply, although they are still a little cheaper than BT). I also put my mother onto HomePhone. The issue is over Customer Service. BT has 150, and will respond to any line or customer queries affecting the line without demanding proof of identity. HomePhone has this appalling centralised 0845 Voicemail Customer Care system that keeps you on hold for an hour playing music and this irritating apology and thanks for your patience. They advise that there is no other way to contact the Customer Care team, and that they will answer but give no indication when. The first thing you hear is of course that all calls will be recorded, including blue language when callers are at the end of their tether, which may be used in evidence. My elderly mother is trying to get her phone moved upstairs, and had finally managed to book an appointment several days after the move only to find no engineer turned up. She cannot call because her phone is still with the new people who bought her old flat, so she asked me to sort it out. But when I finally served out my hour listening to their recorded apology, I was told under Data Protection they could refuse to talk to me or do anything about my mother's situation. Instead they told me to advise her to ring in. She now wants to sever all ties with the Post Office and go back to BT, who at least answer the telephone and agree to discuss a problem. Can I do better than BT or Post Office HomePhone?

Problem with AT&T? I wanted cheap plan to coexist with my cell phone. $19.75 AT&T said I could have unlimited local calls. Two days later (yesterday when they installed phone) I saw on internet AT&T unlmited local in a packeage like caller ID, Call waiting, voicemail, etc. I called them back yesterday and after going through3 people each told me there was nothing they could do unless the package was discusses at time of order. In frustration I said even if you can't give me all that's in package, at least give me caller ID. They said not without paying extra.Was I hopping mad? You bet. I even told the last person I'm not at all satisfied, and that I'll be leaving them within 30 days. I got on the horn to Vonnage and will have them soon. Am I supposed to negotiate phone service like when buying a car? I know it sounds stupid, but the day AT&T installed phone I called Vonage to get their service and keep my number.

Is it worth getting Verizon Fios? I currently have cox communications and I pay about $200 a month on average. For digital cable I have 270 Channels and 57 FREE HD channels with new ones being added all of the time.And i also have a DVR and two HD boxes (same cost as a standard box) and I pay $118 a month For my phone service I pay about $40 a month and I get some good features with it such as voice mail, caller ID, and and call waiting. I can even check my voicemail online. And for my internet service I have a 5Mbps download and 2Mbps upload and I pay $36.95 a month. So is it really worth switching I fell that I have a good deal with Cox Also I get Free McAfee Virus Protection

How do I look someone up if they have Comcast Digital phone service? My cell phone went dead this morning and my mother happened to call me and left a voicemail letting me know that the number on my caller id is her new phone number. Problem here is that since my phone was dead, I did not recieve the caller ID and I have no other way of getting a hold of her. She live 90 miles from me and I know that she has Comcast for her home phone service. Anyone know how to look someone up in this situation since the yellow pages are useless for Comcast.

What legal action can I take if a company makes themself unreachable? I have had a Replay TV DVR for about 5 years now. I'm trying to cancel my service, a feat I have been able to do during moves using their website. However, their website now refuses to accept a customer service request regarding an account for "security reasons." I'd say that sarcastically because attempts to send feedback using the same form and a different contact reason always results in a comment tantamount to a blow off. I've tried calling them to cancel my account 2 separate times today. Each time I am put in a phone queue. The recording tells me I am caller 9-1, then when it gets down to caller 1, I am transfered to voicemail. This is total bull! It's obvious they are making it difficult to cancel so they can keep bilking me for money. I don't want to have to cancel my credit card, but what choice do I have? How would I contact the local district attorney in their area? I don't even know where they are located! As if this wasn't angering enough, here is what their website says about their Customer Support. Customer Support Facts US based support provider Average agent experience of 2+ years in customer service Average agent education at AA or BS level from one of the top technical schools in the US Handled over 255,000 customer contacts in '04 so far, 65 per week are pre-sales questions Average handle time for each call is under 14 minutes 80% of all issues resolved on the first call 95% of all calls are answered in less than 2 minutes Less than 5% of the issues are escalated and 99% of those are resolved in the same day

Stolen Cell Phone Help? I recenly bought a Cingular phone off Craigslist.com and the guy said it was pre-paid and it had a lot of money on it like 75 i believe and he was moving to an area that the go phone can not get service from . so i bought the phone for 50 dollars. kept the cell phone number and everything, i had a funny feeling about this phone when other people were calling looking for a girl not a guy, and i no longer had contact with him. so just a lil bit ago i get a call on the phone and checking my voicemail and its a lady who claims i stole her phone and racked up her bill to 300 something dollars..i guess she turned off the phone, so i cant call her back and her caller id never showed up, the call never showed up just went to voicemail..what do i do? what will happen..I had a weird feeling about it.. No he said it was pre-paid..but it turns out its not!

Okay, what is really going on with my cell phone?

I am sick of playing his games. Should I call him or consider it over? So i have been dating this guy for about 4 months. I have been wanting to break up with him for the past 3 weeks or so but havent been able to do it. This weekend I went on a beach trip with some friends and told him i probably wouldnt have cell phone service but i would call him when we went into town. well, i never called him until sunday when i got back around 9 pm. He didnt answer, but he has caller ID so he should know that i called. he didnt call me back or call me at all yesterday. when i got out of class today, i had a voicemail from him. He sounded completely normal and was like "hey sweetheart just wondering why you havent called me since friday..i was just wondering how your weekend went..well call me later if you want" i KNOW he knows that i called, and if he wanted to talk to me, he could have called yesterday or sunday night. do i HAVE to call him? can i consider it over? (he will take the hint i think) also, should i answer if he calls tonight?
