Hi,
Anyone know if there is a software that can do the answering machin feature. It would be great to be able to have call center feature like :
"if you are a friend press 1 to leave a message"; "if this is urgent press 2"; ......
BR
Isn't this what your phone provider can provide. I.E. Voice Mail. Depending on your provider you can set up various options normally at no extra cost.

uuh, I like mcdomfr's idea pretty much!
The call centre functionality (press 3 to get redirected to my mum) would certainly rock.
However, there is yet another reason, why I would certainly prefer a software answer machine running on my xda2 over the network's (O2) centrally hosted voice mail service. That is, currently I have to pay (or use minutes) to check / retrieve the voice mails. A software on my XDA2 would have the voice mails locally available. Also, I would than be able to check all the old voice mail from last week while I am in the airplane mode or down in the tube (no network).
Just my 2 cent ;-)
i know that some old sony phone got this answering machin feature. one firend of i did use it when he go abroad wher cost of checking voice mail is high.
On top of this the sony phone did alow him to listen to the voice mail when the caller let a message.
I remember the first time i reach his answering machin phone i was thinking i was on orange, i started to let a long message and then sudentely my friend pick-up the phone in the middle of my voice mail and we did continue the call. I was very surprized by this feature !
just search people
people ask about that ALL the time i did a search for just answering
and there are from the first result page
if you want more search yourself

Hi,
I hope this is the correct section and that someone can help me.
My XDA2 has sudenly decided that I have voice mail. (The utility warehouse provide the SIM, Carrier is currently T-Mobile). I have listened to all the voice mail, it tell me I have no new messages. The XDA2 shows me a notification along the top near the phone signal strength meter. If I click on it, it says I have 1 new message, I click on the Dial button, it phones the voice mail centre. That tells me I have no new messages!
I cancelled the voice mail option via The Utility Warehouse in the hopes that the XDA2 would decide it no longer needed to show me the Voice mail Notification - Guess What, it's still there several days later and obviously I can't phone it up because I have cancelled the option with The Utility Warehouse!
So, my question is:- Is there any way I can tell the XDA2 not to display the Voice mail icon?
Would be nice if I can just delete something or change some setting...
Regards,
John
P.S. I tried going back to a backup I had from before the voice mail icon showed up, but it just appeared because it thinks I have a voice mail, but the mail box is empty!
i have same problem, but my phone it's a prophet, does someone knows if there is a registry hack to avoid the voice mail notification icon?
thanks
Voice Mail Problem
Hi,
All fixed!! It turns out that the voice mail icon is triggered by the mobile phone carrier you use. They have the ability to turn the flag off, which will work if you do not have any un-listened to messages. Then you can cancel the voice mail option with your carrier so that no one can leave you voice mail. This option usually costs you money, as you have to make a phone call to listen to it!
So can in certian circumstances make sense to cancel it, particularly if you generally have your mobile phone on all the time, and it only gets turned off at times when you really can't have anyone phone you! (They can always phone again!)

Hi @ all,
I have a question or request. First let me explaine the situation.
I use justVoip.com for calling German Cells cheaper and the USA for free. I call justVoips Landline for free (because I have a landline-flat) and they forward the call to the desired number. I used to just save their number before the contacts number seperatet by a "P" (pause): 08912345P0172123456
When receiving calls my Motorola would still recognize the Call-id, also with the voip number in front of it. But my X1 now doesnt recognize calls with their number inserted...
So my question is... either is there a way to have two seperate phone books running parallel or is there maybe a software that always asks if the preselection should be added when making a call??
Or a nother solution I didnt think of yet..
Hope this wasn't to complicated and you kinda now what i mean...
thanks..
Danny
Can anyone help with advice or an application for the following (if it doesnt exist it should-but it probably does!):-
I do some newspaper work and hence my phone number is in the paper every week. Im reviewing and it leaves me open to abuse and i occasionally get a mouthful from HIDDEN numbers.
It means that i now just dont answer any hidden numbers, which im sure several of which are genuine.
Is there an application/ way that i can make ALL incoming calls that have their number hidden IMMEDIEATLY go to a specific voice mail? (e.g. "Hi, this is **** ******. Hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone. Please ring from a revealed number, text or leave a vociemail and ill get back to you").
Have i any specific options???
GOOGLE AND INSTALL MAGICALL - it does everything you have asked for and more its awsome this is 100% the answer to your issue.!
An alternative may be is to call your mobile phone operator to see if they have a "block-the-blocker" (that's what it's called where I live) service: if the caller blocks/hides his/her phone number intentionally or by default, s/he is greeted by a system recording saying blocked ID calls are not accepted (followed by with instructions on how to unhide ID).
I think call firewall will do what you need, good luck.
Sounds like you may want to check out Google Voice.
Basically, you get a free phone number that forwards to the phone(s) of your choice, along with extensive call filtering options and a lot of other cool features.
It won't help you with the people who already have your number, but Google Voice allows you to set up call filters so that you can send unidentified callers straight to voicemail or reject them with a "hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone" message.
If you have a Google Voice number and a Windows Phone, you can get apps for dialing out through Google Voice so your GV number shows up when you return a call.
If you go this route, you'll want to check out the following apps:
iDialer (Google Voice version) - This program can be used to dial out normally through your cell phone, or initiate calls through Google Voice.
iContact - This program integrates iDialer with your phone contacts.
Green Button (sets up your phone's green "call" button to open iDialer instead of the default dialer)
Google Voice Easy SMS - sends texts from your phone through your Google Voice number.
I have this set up on my Tilt2, and I'm very pleased with it. Feel free to message me if you need any questions answered.

There is a service called Trapcall, google it. when somone calls you from an unlisted number all you have to do is press the call reject button then it will ring back with the callers unmasked number, and the caller never notices. its not an app and free.
is there any
Voice apps like those where seen in NOKIA phones that Tells the contact name when an incoming call arrives ?
voice app that Speaks/Tell the message
so that it would be useful while driving !!
unfortunately, the application calls Announcer only available for Android phone http://getandroidstuff.com/call-announcer-android-app-download-v110/
