Redirect a incomming call to the mailbox?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how a can redirect a incomming call to the mailbox when I don't want to answer that call?
I only can decline the call and then the caller gets a busy tone and know that a pushed the call away....

Settings>Phone>Call Forwarding>Get Settings...
Make sure "No Answer" is ticked and diverts to your mailbox number.

Thanx for your help, but that one I know... :lol:
What I want is to stop the phone ringing and push it to the voicemailbox!
Now I have to wait 30 sec before the call is redirect to the mailbox...

In conjunction to "elyl's" suggestion, if you don't want to hear the phone ring, then turn the volume off. Otherwise you need a 3rd party software like Phone Alarm.

but sometimes you just don't wanna talk to a person that is calling you... and I don't mean because I'm busy or something just push it away to the voicemail.
I use Phonealarm but it didn't give me the option when the phone rings (with a certain person I don't wana talk to) push it to voicemail!
So now I leave it ringing and then it goes to the mailbox at last.

I've just tried it on my Magician. If you press the red/end button right after it ring then the call is redirected to the voice mail.

hmmm, when I push the red button it gives a busy tone to the caller...
Thanx for trying

do you have the other call divert (when busy, when out of range, etc.) functions active?

Must be an operator-dependent thing then, cos when I reject a call it gets sent to the mailbox. Dial into your mailbox and see if you can change the settings.

Finaly it is working!!
I just re enterd the voicemailbox number and send it again to the telecom provider.... :?
Thanx again for your help and testing...

great to know that you have it finally working

One day I learned (by accident), that if you use the hardware volume button while the phone rings, it will mute the ring tone. That way, you can let it "ring" in silence for the duration of the 30 seconds before it forwards to your voice mail.
I use the vol down in these situations, but I think it also mutes on vol up.

Tmo Wing Ring question

Does anyone know how to get my Tmo Wing to stop vibrating when its on ring for incoming calls and messages?
It can be very annoying that when it's on my desk it vibrates louder then the ringtone.

Try raising the volume, if that dont work.
Try an other rom. There are some usefull How-To's here.
Oh BTW. Welcome to the forum!!!

Start>Settings>Phone (under the personal tab)
change the ring type

what i don't like is how i can hear the vibration better than i can feel it.

think about it as like a secondary ring mechanism.
i think the prevailing philosophy of many companies these days is "its not a flaw its a feature"

Help: settings for automatic call answering

Hey there,
I have my HTC HD set to NOT answering calls automatically. However it does that still only when I recieve a call while Im on the phone (second line). It rings once and immediately switches the call to the new incoming one. Could get very annoying when you have an important sales call! and especially if you intentionally dont want to pick up the other call
Is there a setting for that I am missing? thanks for the help.

Incoming Call Blocker ???

Hi all ,
I'm just asking if anybody tried a professional call blocker that rejects the call before the caller hears the first ring ????
actually I've tired some applications ... all of them, the caller hears the first ring then it hangs up ....
any idea ???

It is difficult to reject the call before the first ringing.
Try MagiCall 2 (share).

eye on call
i don't think there's a programe that can do that , but Eye on call is a great program that will give a busy tone in the middle of the first ring , so most of ppl won't notice it rang

Maybe lower tower polling to 0 would get close to intercepting it after the first ring. Mine is set pretty high for battery life, and during a few test calls, I've heard 3-4 rings before the phone even turns on lol
It's a good thing most people I know text me.

Why do you not set your phone in flight mode? Or only on vibrate?
Can you elaborate on the use case why you want this

i think that there isn't any thing that you can do...as far as i know, after the caller get's into voicemail...it's like the call is ended and it's covered by the operator
