Is this phone phising

I just had a meeting of strange phone with a guy who told me he was from the Windows support and tried to talk me through what he was saying was to attempt to catch a virus on my computer. I continued questioning him, but good until he guided me towards a website "TheWindowsSolution.com" and I tried to make me go to an area of remote support on the site by following the directions. I said that I'm not going to give access to my computer and he hung up. Anyone who is familiar with this kind of call? What is someone is aware of a scam is happening?

There are all kinds of current scams.  Microsoft will never make an unsolicited to you call.  Here's more information:

    I wanted to pass on my old iPhone 5, so I went to remove my account iCloud out of this phone, or so I thought. I went to delete the email, etc. out of this phone, it turns out that he has also deleted all my data on my iPhone 6, which is what I use, as well as on my iPad. What should I do now? Help please

    Don't know what you were doing.  If you removed real emails, then they are in your email trash folder.

    All you have to do is to restore as new iPhone before giving it away.

    Why my new id icloud unable to connect? He wrote "the maximum number of free account we enabled on this phone, while I already reset my iphone.

    A device can create only three accounts iCloud, after which still attempts to bring the message you see. This is related to the material and there is no way around it - reset makes no difference. What you can do is to create a new account iCloud on another Mac or iOS (not Windows) device, then you can sign in on your phone.

  • Droid: nobody knows if this phone can be synchronized with a macintosh computer?

    someone does not know if the droid can be synchronized with a macintosh computer? I am very interested in buying one, but can not buy a new computer to do this.

    My current research from places like the Motorola and the Android community. Looks like it's not without a third-party application. I'm a Mac with a Mac Book Pro user and I intend to buy this phone day 1. My plan is to start synchronization with an older version of office I have on Windows XP until Mark Space frees the missing sync for Android which, according to their website, is soon.

  • My husband bought me this iPhone in Singapore on 5 September 2015. The touchscreen is unresponsive. Apple says that this phone was purchased from Japan:

    MY phone was purchased in Singapore Sep 5, 2015. The touch has not worked since the first day. I contacted Apple support, but they say that this phone was purchased, in Japan, more than a year back. The guardian of the store said he bought the live phone from Apple. I am stuck with a phone that does not work. Apple is of no help.

    You don't say if the phone was bought from an official Apple store or reseller Apple in Singapore.

    I have phone warranties are not international.

  • WIP330 - What's up with this phone?

    I just got the phone SIP Linksys Wireless G (WIP330). I was intending to use this phone for our new Asterisk based IP telephony system. Setting in the phone service was child's play, but there are weird things on this phone that make it almost unusable for anything other than her overhaul.

    Problem - a voicemail

    There is a section voicemail under phone settings where you can enter the phone number to your voice mail. Very well, very well. For once I enter my voicemail number, how to retrieve my voicemail? There is nothing in the documentation or in the phone settings that says how we are supposed to retrieve voice mail, once we enter this number. Shouldn't there be a big friendly button somewhere marked voicemail?

    BTW, the documentation of Linksys says this about voicemail, "to learn how to check your voicemail, call your service provider internet phone! You have to be kidding me?

    Problem 2 - No touch tone.

    Since I can't find a button or anywhere speed dial to call my voicemail number. I entered in manually and called it. The problem is, I have to be able to conclude the numbers on the keyboard to access the features of voicemail. If I enter numbers in the keyboard, a separate window will appear showing the numbers, but there is no beep button so that the menu of automated voicemail can 'hear' my selections. I guess this new window is line 2 try to accept another outgoing call.

    These two questions are a deal breaker real for this phone. Here are a few other minor problems that I could live with if this phone solved the above problems.

    • Strange button above the buttons volume control that does absolutely nothing! Are you kidding me?
    • Micro browser. I don't see how this would have no practical use whatsoever. Unless you went to a Web site that has been optimized for the small screen on the phone, it is useless to you try to display a normal Web page.
    • The maximum ringer very quiet. I admit there is a vibration function, but it would be nice to have a ring loud and clear (customizable ringtones would be a plus also)
    • Update website link is broken. www.WIP330.com does not yet exist. Give me a break!

    This phone really has great potential. It seems to be well built. The screen is bright and easy to use. Dial numbers is easy and receive calls works fine. I like options blind for the transfer, transfer, etc.. But the issues mentioned above will stop me buying more of these phones for my company.

    I thought about it. I watched the Asterisk CLI to find errors and when I composed 770 (my voicemail extension) it prompted me to an extension. I entered my extension number, followed by the pound sign. I could see in the output from the CLI, what she actually accepted my extension and then waiting for the password, but for some reason that the automatic reception never says "password". So, basically, you do not hear the password. I'll have to put spaces in the password prompt and see if that helps.

    Anyway, thanks the help of all the world. This phone can be useful after all.

    If you had wiped your device then you need to create your ID blackberry again associated with your email.

    Set your username and password then try World Apps login.
