IDNet Help / Re: UBoss Basic Phone Service ...

Last post by Simon - Sep 22, 2025, 23:47:44

Hi,

Making the switch to UBOSS is something I've been putting off while I still have a copper landline, but hopefully someone will be able to answer your question.   

Caller ID through call divert always worked through PSTN line, so I'd be quite disappointed if it didn't work with VoIP.

IDNet Help / UBoss Basic Phone Service and ...

Last post by CallMeMaybe - Sep 22, 2025, 22:39:48

Hi there,
I've a question about UBoss, call forwarding and passing the Caller ID that I'm hoping someone can help with.

If we setup call forwarding on UBoss, would the external caller's ID be passed to my mobile in the following scenario (so that I can see who's calling)?

External caller ➡ UBoss number ➡ my mobile phone


Many thanks in advance.

I've had the Sept security update but I've not noticed any interface changes on my Samsung S22+.  Maybe that only applies to newer models?

It's Android 16, and probably only applies to Pixels so far.

Harsh comment! Peasblossoms text looks fine to me.

It's computationally heavy too, aka a battery muncher, not an Apple strong point at the best of times 

I've never noticed anything to worry about with all my Apple devices in the past but this time the battery drain is quite alarming.

Why do you make your text large?

If you have trouble reading, wouldn't it be better to zoom in on the site instead, as nobody else writes in large text?

I'm glad I stuck with Samsung.   

Android 16 (September security update) brought a different interface (Material Design 3 Expressive) to many Android phones this month.

They may automatically have put your number on the new SIM.  If not, I guess you'll have to ask them to do so.

A quick google suggests opinions are somewhere between mixed and divisive... especially as you can't turn it off (although it can be turned down a bit). It's computationally heavy too, aka a battery muncher, not an Apple strong point at the best of times 

My phone is getting on a bit (iPhone 12) so I usually wait until (at least) the xx.1 release¹ of new OS's... don't think I'll change 

¹ Or untilI get I fed up with the nagging!
