Call Filter

I had a Palm software phone (Treo 600) before my current MDA Compact and the Palm had two programs that i cannot seem to find for this PocketPC, can anyone suggest a program
1/ a Call filter, one that does not pass the calls onto the voicemail a filter that will pick up and drop. The Parm one when you had a blocked call it sounded to the caller that they had been cut off, i have been given SmartFilter but you just end up with lots of voice messages.
2/ Was a SMS response program once set if you recieved a text it would make no sound but would send a reply with a message you had set.
as said two usefull program that i cannot find for PocketPC, have i missed then if so can anyone please tell me the names.
Better still PM to me

I have tried that program and it looks very good but is restricted to only 10 numbers from your contact list. I will keep my eye on this program but as said so far it looks very good.

I have a copy of Smartphone and yes it is good except if anyone calls you and they are blocked it goes straight to the voicemail. So i ended up with voicemails, i think a really good call filter should except the call (silently) and just hang up. Smartphone is good but could be better if it picked up and dropped the unwanted calls instead of pointing them to voicemail.

not quite true
it takes it's divert from the phone 'busy' setting.... I think the default is voicemail on busy, but in the phone settings, you can specify another number other than voicemail... I put in my office number....go to the phone application and then the 'call divertl settings
not sure what you mean by pickup and hangup....sounds a bit rude really to the poor caller!

I don't get what you want?
You want the phone to receive a call, and then just hang it up?

What i am after is simple, work ring me weekends and using Smart Filter i end up with a load of vorce mails i dont want that. Now Call Filter when you choise a number to ignore just hangs up No Call and No Voice Mails - Great. I will be glad when he has finished the program as its grippled to only 0 numbers from your phone book at the moment.

Answer - Voicemail delay

Anyone have any idea if you can change the amount of time before voicemail kicks in ?
Currently, with the slow recovery for ringtones, the phone only actually rings for about 15 seconds before voicemail kicks in - not really long enough.
Is this configurable anywhere ?
I would like to set it 45-60 seconds if possible.
Handset is on O2 if that has any bearing on things.
Love this place. SO much knowledge about !

Voicemail delay
Start Menu -> Settings
Personal Tab
Phone
Services Tab
Select "Call Forwarding" then Click "Get Settings"
It reads the details from the network..
You should see details on that screen of :-
"Forward phone calls only if:"
No answer..
Forward after <drop down list box>
Hope this helps.

Looks like the job. Thank you very much.

how to edit the call history to add calls?

i have to add an outgoing call to my call history at a certain date and time... is there a way to do this? im running 6.1 on a htc touch......

maybe you can try to set time and date on your phone to the date of you fake call and call (just call and hang up) the number you want...

I imagine having an alibi... Darling I called you, but you didn't took the call...

I will certainly have to remember this trick! There has been a many times this would have proved handy

Hmmmm, good that I dont need an alibi like that....
+ If I would say: "Yes honey I tried to call you 4am before I went to the afterparty, see my call history" she would probably tell me that she doesnt believe me anyway or that I should have sended smoke signals etc...

But there is a call duration entry. Meaning, that the call would only last <15 seconds.

Changing the time on the phone would work for your personal call history but not the official call history that shows on your phone bill.
As a father, I check my kid's phone calls and minutes semi-regularly by logging on to T-Mobile and viewing their recent activities.
Now, chances are if you need this for an alibi for a GF or some other friend it will work. If you need this for a more serious alibi, it's not going to work if the person has any way of checking the official carrier records.

Don't know about anybody else but if i make a call that isn't answered by anything, be it a person, ansaphone or voicemail, then the call duration in the call log is 00:00 and it never shows on my phone bill. The only way to prove that type of call was made would probably require access to the mobile operator's logs themselves which most of us don't have.

i have one problem in my vivo v3 . call log is not displaying in proper order.i dont know what to do.it is just scrumbled

omg.... thank you google!!! this might of just saved me $700 for late cancelling fees! miracle workers you are all saints!

No More New Calls?

I have noticed since the past week(mayb), [email protected] while I am on the phone, I can no longer recieve incoming calls, they go straight to voicemail, does anyone have any idea whats causing this?

Have you changed your call waiting settings?
Check it:
Go to Settings
Call Settings
Additional Settings
Call Waiting
Make sure that IS checked so that you do get notified of incoming call.s

first off try speaking in words not stupid garbled crap.
second, are you up tp date on your bill? i was a day late paying my bill and they turned off outgoing service, maybe they turned off your incoming.
also if you had done a quick look through the forums you would have seen a thread created a day or two ago talking about something very similar(calls only ringing twice before voicemail).

Incoming call text back feature

For the life of me, I can't find where to edit the responses without actually editing it when I'm receiving a call. Does anyone know where to find the list of responses for this so I can add a few? TIA

settings --> call settings -->All Calls -->> Reject Call With Message
You can add a message and edit/delete message by hitting the menu button.

You guys rock. Thanks a lot!

Don't use it if you use Google Voice...
It responds from your actual cell number :-(

Google Voice has the option to mark numbers as spam, so when I have to use my phone to call people I don't necessarily want to be able to call me back I use it and if there is a problem google Voice eliminates it. I don't give out my t-mobile number because then people will bother me.
Fortunately the person who i rejected with a text was not bright and asked who was texting. I apologized and said "Sarah", they said they didn't know a Sarah and I said oh, sorry wrong number... Then I called them back from GV later that night.
