• Make/receive phone calls via the software modem?

  It is usually possible to make and receive calls through a PC modem such as the software modem for satellite P25 series?
  I need any additional software to do this? (this is not about VOIP).

  Hello

  I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You want to make a phone call over the internet?
  I put t know which device you have, but I think that it s must support a modem.
  You can use this modem to connect to the internet, but believe me; the modem connection is not very fast and the transfer of data has for a long time.

  I think the phone call over the internet is a very good idea but only if someone has a lump and a broadband connection.

• SBH52 don't make phone calls after the installation of Marshmallow

  Hello

  I upgraded my Z3C Marshmallow Android and since then, the SBH52 does not allow me to make phone calls from the call log.

  I had similar behavior original lollipop but discovered "Call Log Smart Extras" had to be installed and the problem solved.

  However, after upgrading to the marshmallow and noting that I couldn't dial from the SBH52, I uninstalled and reinstalled Smart Connect, SBH52 app and Call Log Smart Extras but everything remains the same. I also tried disconnection and reconnection of the headset to the phone, both via NFC and Bluetooth.

  The headset works. I can 'throw' music, audio, videos and maintain telephone conversations. I can also access the call log and read SMS.

  If I want to hang up, I can still do it by pressing the big round button on the front of the helmet, so my problem is not this one:

  http://talk.sonymobile.com/T5/wireless-accessories/SBH-52-on-Android-6/m-p/1051004#M7193

  Everyone found this problem too? Is there a solution?

  Thank you.

  I wonder there was an update for applications, but resumed making phonecalls through SBH52

• Phone calls from the India

  I keep getting phone calls from a person in India (or a person with an Indian accent) who says that he comes from Windows and there is a problem with my computer.  He calls me by name and asks me to turn on my computer, that I refuse to do.  This looks like a scam to me, given that Windows notifies users of problems with updates on the internet.  In addition, I am on the "do not call" list, but it seems to make no difference.

  What happens here?
