How much is the data usage if I use inetrnet phone for 1 hr.\r\nLet's consider I am in India and I am calling the land line number in the US through the Internet using SKYPE. I am not using any phone ddevice . I have only speaker and microphone built in to my laptop. Not using Video call. I have Internet usage plan of 10 GB per month. What will be the data usage for 1 Hr call in terms of KB or MB ?

If you are UK based, number display is an addon to your land line phone service.

i don't know. you will need proof you own your number.
you may wish to consider 'porting' your land line number to another telephone provider. many are now 'porting'
[ moving ] land line numbers to cell telephones so they continue to receive all calls going to the previous land line.
please contact the telephone land line owner's business office understand their rules and termination fees if any.

Hello, Maureen -

If you are asking about your land line telephone, the number of rings before voice mail picks up calls is most likely a feature through your land line phone service.

I suggest you contact your land line phone service customer service center, via a phone call, and ask your question.

Hello, Michael -

First, please use the Edit feature and remove your land line and cell phone number, along with your address and name from the question. All that information will be a gold mine to someone wanting to commit ***** and identity theft.

Then, contact the business/person who installed your land line phone (make a phone call), explain the problem, and ask for a repair technician to come to your home and make whatever repairs are needed.

Best wishes.

How often is usage updated?

The time and date of the last update is shown within the usage tab, it may take up to 24-48 hours for recent usage to show. Occasionally a network event may delay the update period. It's for this reason that the usage information in My Account should only be used as a guide.
Your exact usage will be detailed on your monthly bill.

Why can't I see my usage?

If you can't see your service in the My Services list:

• Have you linked the service to the My Account profile that you're logging into?
• Have you logged in using a service number rather than your My Account username?
• Is the service eligible for My Account linking?

Your usage information can take up 24-48 hours to show, if:

• You've just registered for My Account
• You've just linked this service to your My Account profile
• You've just changed your plans / upgraded your service. More options to view usage become available after we've issued your first bill on your new plan.

Important information

Usage records in My Account are a guide and do not represent an invoice and as such should not be used for taxation purposes.

Your phone must be setup to make calls using data. In the old days of UNLIMITED data, this was a good idea. It no longer is. check these:
* Make sure your data is disabled when making a phone call. See if this lowers your data usage.
* If you have another program installed to make phone calls (like Google Voice) make sure to check the settings are NOT set to make phoe calls using data. You can also try uninstalling the program. You can always re-install.

On the Land line phone, dial *72 then you should hear the dial tone again. Enter the 10 digit cell phone number that you want the land line call to go to, hang the phone back up.
*73 will set the calls back to the land line when you no longer need the calls forwarded to the cell phone.

Any multi-line answering machine should serve your purposes. Since you declined to specify the country, I'm afraid I can't recommend any particular units.
Diverting calls to a mobile or other phone is a feature of your landline company, not of any particular phone. Please contact your telephone company for details on call forwarding.

hi, these code should be helpful....
country code: 91
area code: 80
cheers.

Hi , I think to make local calls you will have to add +91+ mobile no eg: 91XXXXXXXXXX in front of the mobile no. In order to make a call to land line you will have to add the city code + land line no . eg: If you want to call Hyderabad , the no will be like 040XXXXXXXX . To make a call to mobile no in other city add 0 in front of the mobile no eg : 0XXXXXXXXXX .
