spam filter settings missing in new webmail
the new webmail ** I never wanted or asked for churched up webmail. I have had to setup multiple filters to block spam that (after many years of none) has started to inundate my account. I have had to create filters to keep known good email addresses and other criteria. now emails that came in just fine are going to my SPAM folder. problems is I disabled ALL my filters and certain emails still end up in the SPAM folder. specifically xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com (where x's are the phone number) marking them as "not spam" does nothing other than put them in my inbox. the old spam settings seem to have disappeared from settings.1.9KViews1like41Comments
What has happened to NOMOROBO?
I have used Nomorobo for years without a hitch. Now just this week it does not work. When I go to phone settings and click on Nomorobo ON it just reverts back to OFF. I'm being driven mad by calls beginning around 6:00 AM every morning. Please Help, --Dennis--1.5KViews0likes4Comments
Cox Contour Boxes updating always at the incorrect time
OK we have followed the correct directions for our boxes to update at a specific time. Unfortunately they are updating at a different time than what we selected and then taking close to 2.5 daily to update. Is anyone else having this issue/ Our TV's display the Please excuse our house cleaning message. TV is unwatchable for that entire time! How do we resolve this issue. Again it's not the settings, we already have those set up for a particular time that Cox seems to be ignoring.2.2KViews0likes5Comments
"My WiFi" settings
I am logged into my Cox account and trying to set up the "My Wifi" settings and I'm being alerted that my modem is 'ineligible'. This modem (the Arris DG2460) was sold to me right in the Cox store- why is it considered ineligible? It's on the list of accepted modems, see below.2.2KViews0likes1Comment
HD TV over coaxial cable with MiniBox
I, like many customers have been forced to transition from my basic "wall to tv" cable service to the Cox MiniBox. The MiniBox has worked wellenough (despite being a horrible eyesore on my otherwise well organized armoire) while I was using the HDMI output, but I recently acquired an additional peripheral that requires me to now use the Coax option on the MiniBox (the new equipment uses HDMI only, and my tv only has 2 HDMI ports). So now, I am stuck with a 480i signal, despite the fact that I used to receive 1080i HD channels directly from the wall before the transition (over a coax cable, without the box). If I go to the Cox settings menu, it coyly allows me to select the "video output" option under "video/audio" settings, but then DOES NOT LET ME CHANGE IT TO 1080i, the ONLY option is 480i. So Cox has rigged their box to unchangeably default to 480i if you are using a coax connection, even though the coax standard is capable of carrying a 1080i signal flawlessly. I am assuming this is just another "horrible cable company doing horrible things because they're horrible" thing, but if anyone has any idea how to work around this without me having to purchase an additional device to convert HDMI to coax I would certainly appreciate it. Also, if any Cox representative can give me a logical explanation as to why this problem exists beyond "we love making your life difficult" I would love to hear it, because you have done little to prove otherwise. This is not a hardware limitation, you could easily convert your signal to 1080i compatible with a coax output, but you choose not to, and that is truly aggravating.3.3KViews0likes3CommentsPassword problem setting up IMAP
My COX account password works fine for everything EXCEPT IMAP settings. My spouse uses IMAP without any problems using his standard COX login password. Settings: Using Thunderbird email: [same as I've been using for years with COX pop account] port: 993 username: [same as email less "@cox.net"] security: SSL/TSL authentication method: Normal Password [and I've typed it in when asked over and over!] "Get messages" fails asking for new password. My password is 8 characters with letters and number and to repeat, works fine to log onto the Cox website, etc. -Sherri S1.7KViews0likes1Comment
How do I monitor the duration of my out going calls on my restricted cox digital phone service
The Phone Call Log shows what time, date, who I called but does NOT TELL ME THE DURATION OF THE PHONE CALLS. SINCE I AM RESTRICTED FOR A HALF HOUR OF CALLS A MONTH, I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THE DURATION. I already had problems being overcharged and if I GO OVER THE HALF HOUR LIMIT A MONTH, THEY CHARGE ME .50 A MINUTE. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER SO THEY CAN PROVE THEY WERE NOT OVER THE LIMIT BECAUSE IT PURPOSELY FAILS TO SHOW YOU THE DURATION OF ALL CALLS GOING OUT. I NEED HELP WITH THIS REALLY BAD. THEN THEY CHARGED ME MORE PHONE USAGE FEES UNDER ANOTHER USAGE FEE, WHICH I AM BEING CHARGED MORE THAN DOUBLE.3.7KViews1like2CommentsCaller ID Spoofing
Greetings One and All, With regard to Call Spoofing, Not being Lawful! There ARE a host of SCAM calls being placed daily, throughout Our United States Of America, and Abroad, from 900 series area codes. When you get a call from one or more, of these 900 series area codes, and you actually answer said call, you will Not hear anyone at the other end of the call which you have answered! You Shall however, hear the distinctive Click, of the phone having been DIS-Connected, (Hung Up). At this point, who ever the SCAM entity actually is, that SCAM entity SHALL, be able to utilize your telephone number, by you having answered said call to begin with, And, the SCAM entity Shall simply forge ahead, with placing an Endless number of International Telephone Calls, which Shall be billed to YOUR very own telephone number, Even Though mind you, those International Telephone Calls, had Not been initiated by you! Another portion of this SCAM, is that Your telephone number, Shall Be, shared with/sold to, many other SCAM entity(s), through the ongoing/endless SCAM net-working, which SHALL increase the amount of International Telephone Calls, which Are Billed to Your telephone number, without mind you, Any End of this type of activity, in the near, mid, and or long term, UN-Less mind you do follow through with one or more of the following. (1) You have your telephone service Changed, and or, DIS-Connected, when you First notice, any such activity with/on your monthly telephone bills. "DO Read Your Monthly Telephone Bills", or, You "SHALL Have" your feet held to the Billing Fire, for ALL of the SCAM calls made against your telephone number, period! (2) Request Of, your telephone service provider, to Actually change your telephone number completely, of which and to which, is almost certainly NOT going to happen, due to the fact, that most all, of the telephone service providers, Shall NOT Normally Do Much, If Anything At All By The Way, without you being Exceptionally FIRM with them to begin with! (3) If you have the time, and willingness to follow through, with actually Tracking, and, To Find Out who the SCAM entity(s) actually are, then there are means presently in place, which Shall bring these SCAM entity(s), to the Righteous Justice, which they ALL are deserving of having placed upon them, Once And For All Time, And, until or course, the next Telephone Number, SCAM net-work gets themselves established somewhere, and then, the whole process of Tracking/Finding Out who these Lame At Best SCAM individual(s) actually are, Starts Again! Thank you for having taken the time to read what I have conveyed herein. Have a good day/evening. Sincerely, Ironhand "SEMPER FIDELIS" Forum: Phone Forum Posted: 1 May 2013 Post Subject: Caller ID Spoofing Post author: zone11 I receive an incoming call, but there is a hang-up either in half a ring or just when I answer. I look at the caller ID and it displays a valid phone number from somewhere in the USA. I call it back, and get a three-toneintercept with "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service or is disconnected..." How can a not-in-service number originate a call? Or more likely, why does Cox's computer not reject calls coming into Cox's system that have an invalid caller ID? Cox talks a lot about internet spam filtering; why don't we have telephone filtering as well?6Views0likes0Comments
