IPhone :: Dialing Foreign Number Bring Extra Charges
Jul 12, 2010
I've got several friends in Japan with iPhone 4s and I was wondering if I can do some FaceTime with them. I know it uses WiFi but will dialing a foreign number bring extra charges? Thanks!
I know the iPhone battery isn't that great and most people on here charge over night. I charge over night, at work, later when I get home, then again at night ( prob down to 60%). should I limit the number of charges to save the long term life of the battery or can the battery take it?
I sync contacts with a corporate Exchange / Outlook account. I can manage contacts on the phone or PC. Any contact who has say a business, home or mobile number and a fax number specified, if I go to the dialer, start typing their name, it does show the contact and a number (no indication of type such as fax or cell) so I tap that choice. Sadly, no, I can't just tell from looking at the number if it is fax or not. The phone dials the fax # which of course is incredibly annoying to my ear and that this dumb phone doesn't know not to try a fax number as the first choice for any contact who has a fax number.
I know I can set the default number per contact but I have hundreds of contacts and to go through each one to see if they have a fax and change it would really suck. Is there seriously no way to tell the phone not to use fax as first choice by default?
I just received a replacement Tour 9630. When I activated phone and set up BES it somehow deactivated my number keys for dialing a phone number. Now unless I place a call from my Contacts list I can't dial a number.
Is there a way to input an extension number into a phone number in your contacts list?For example, in an old Nokia, I would have a number saved like 123-456-7890w4587..the "w" was a wait command. The number would dial and the screen displayed "press send to send 4587" (being the extension)Is there a way or command in the HTC Magic from Rogers to do this?
i have people with names like Jānis . The problem is, when i dial a number, if i push corresponding buttons for J-a-n , it won't find it, because ā is not a. Is it possible to make it ignore the difference between a and ā ?
I just got a Curve 9330 and wanted to know if anyone knows how to increase the size of the numbers when you are dialing out. They appear so small. Adjusting the font on the phone doesnt affect them at all.
With recent software upgrade/update, when I start to dial a number it defaults to searching Contacts, which is fine. But the display of numbers I'm dialing is so tiny I didn't see them - had to hand to my son in frustration because I didn't think it was dialing at all. He pointed out the teeny-tiny numbers being displayed below the search field. Is there a way to increase the size of the numbers being dialed? Or change default back to dialing instead of search?
I only discovered this after getting a text from Orange thanking me for using Orange Data and giving me my data number (an old fashioned mobile phone number for dial up data)...... When I phoned Orange, they didn't see anything particularly untoward but they did notice an occasional call to a number that doesn't appear in my phone's history.
It is 8009011001. The call length is always zero with a call cost of 0.085 pence. Is anyone here familiar with this number? I've Googled it and found nothing.
I think I might have picked up a bit of a rogue app but I haven't exactly downloaded anything dodgy looking from the App Store (the Apps I use the most are Tweetie, Facebook, The Guardian, The Telegraph and occasionally, a checkers game I downloaded.
My BB 9900 seems to be dialing a number unintentionally - I have even removed the number from my address book, call history etc - it still seems to find the number and dial it.
I have a 9700 with the tmobile network, and sometimes even though i have full 3g coverage my phone, will tell me that my call failed..I will dial a number then experiance a long silence period and then i message will come up on my phone with "call failed". I am running the .442 operating system on my phone. any tricks or tips on how to solve this?
I have ringer volume on 25. I work on AC's so it can be a little loud.Prob is that when I open up the phone function and start dialing a number, the keypad volume is at, like, the speakerphone volumeAnd ridiculously loud. Is this a glitch or normal? My keyboard button tap sounds are fine as far as volume, but the phone number key tone is just obnoxiously loud.
New user here. I am on my second Verizon Storm2 (in one month) with same issue. After dialing Verizon *611 or when calling voicemail, the number keypad is disabled and the numbers are gone or moved to different locations so I can not enter PIN. I am sure it is a software issue. Tried a hard reset with no luck. VZ authorized retailer believes he can fix this problem by wiping clean and reinstalling one app at a time. Has anyone else had same problem and any luck with a fix?
my iPhone 4 is supposed to be factory unlocked - and it works with all German carriers - I also checked one sim-card from Ireland, which also worked. However, I can't activate the iPhone with a Chinese sim-card or Thai sim-card. The error message "sim not valid" shows up. I tried those two sim-cards with an iPhone 4S of a friend (also factory unlocked), and both worked perfectly. My assumption is that my iPhone is only unlocked for European carriers?
I know this is probably vague since the new iPhone hasn't been released yet, but I would like to buy the iPhone 4 at its release, from AT&T without the contract ($599/$699), because I move to Germany a few weeks later. As far as I know it is still locked to AT&T then. Could you use it with a German sim card. How do I activate or can I avoid an activation and how can I use it in Germany? Do I need to wait for an unlock? I don't want to buy it in Germany because it is far more expensive and I don't want to use it with the standard-iPhone carrier.
I recently updated my iPhone 3g and am irritated with how slow it's running as I've heard a lot of people are. I've read about downgrading to the old OS but I'm beginning to consider jailbreaking it. I only have a few questions and i was hoping someone would know:
1) I'm planning on spending 6 months in SE Asia toward the end of this year. I'd like my phone to work there if possible. I'll completely admit that I've not researched this topic enough but my general question is, can I jailbreak my phone and then enable it for use in SE Asia, if so how? 2) Would jailbreaking the phone make it more difficult in some way to enable it for use there?
Unintelligible questions I know and I apologize but I have no idea with where to start for all of it.
Im going to the US this summer for a long excursion, i intend to take a large amount of photos on my iphone, i just wondered if i 'places' still worked when 1.data roaming is turned off and 2. if airplane mode was on for obvious reasons i dont want to come back after 3 months and find that i have a phone bill of over a thousand pounds because i left data roaming on.
Does anyone know if there's an app that can bring up an actualy dialpad when starting a new message? It would be handy for numbers I don't have in my contacts. JB or not, doesn't matter. Edit: Sorry I misspoke, it's for typing in the recipient's number. It's quicker for me to dial on a keypad than it is to dial the numbers on the keyboard.
Sitting here waiting for iP4 to be released in Sweden and thinking, is it worth buying an extra insurance for your phone? Since hearing several stories and people dropping their phones and getting cracks in the glass, which isn't really that surprising, I think that getting an extra insurance for iP4 is a good idea. But then of course...Usually they'll run you like $70/year and maybe around $200 in excess fee...
How much does it cost to switch out/repair the back glass of an iP4? If it's below $200 there's really no use in getting an extra insurance. It's the back glass that I'm worried about, nothing else really...
So when my phone is asleep and I get a message, once I turn my phone on to view that text, before I go into the message my phone alerts me a second time that I got a message. It also does this with my kik messages. And if I had gotten a bunch of messages while my phone was asleep, then when I turn it on I get spammed with second alerts. I've rebooted my phone, and my alert repeats are set to never. But I'm still having this problem. It's been this way since the day I got it and never really paid attention to it because I didn't know anything about iPhones since my previous phone was an android. I have the iPhone 5s, brand new, and I've never had any problems with it until now. Well, even now I still don't think this is a problem. It doesn't freeze or anything like that, I just can't seem to make it so it won't give me second notifications. I wasn't concerned about this until a little bit ago when I was telling my friend how annoying this can be and he said his phone does not do that. I don't know if it doesn't do that because he has the 5c and I have the 5s or what. Is this something I should be concerned about? Other than this little thing I have fallen in love with my phone. It never gives me problems and is amazing. I just want to make sure that this is not a problem. And if it is, how can I fix it?
My iPhone 4's touchscreen is extra sensitive in phone mode. It started after I installed latest update. I keep hanging up on people. Or turning on facetime or the speaker.
