I have search high and low, but have not foudn this feature anywhere.
It is so convenient to have a software that can pick up the phone, play a message, then record it.
It is faster, easier, and you can keep the recording if you want!
i used to have this feature on my old phone, now I miss it...
anyone know of a software that does this?
no.
gigabyte has it on there wm5 phones:
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=391825
I have seen one aftermarket app that did it also but cant remember the name of it.
It would be kewl if someone had a gigabyte one and could extract it from the extended rom and post it.
since your charged minutes for calling your voicemail to listen to it, this saves you airtime if you have a low minute plan.
try this
k7.net is a free service that provides you with a seattle number that you can use to receive voicemails and faxes. i set it up to send voicemails and faxes to my mda as email. at home i setup my voip phone to copy any voicemail to my mda too. now i get everything to my wizard.
hope this helps,
sl
You'd think this would be a highly sought after feature.
The phone I had almost 3 years ago had this feature. I wonder why it is not so prevalent these days. It is so much quicker and easier than having to dial a voice mail service, or sync messages to the phone.
hmm, maybe this is somethign that should be developed?
Any takers?

Thanks for the thoughts, but I looked at the SMS answering machine before, and while it a novel program, it is really just an auto-responder, not an answering machine.
Thanks again, but I am really looking for something that actaully records voice messages.

Alternative to answering Machine - CallWave
when someone leaves a message you get an email of the message that you can save. www.callwave.com
Ah, callwave is interesting, but alas, only in the US. I am in China now. Thats another reason I don't want to use voice mail. Navigating your voice mail in Chinese is sometimes very annoying.
I guess there is no real solution to this then? So sad, too bad. :?

Sell your phone and buy a Gigabyte GSmart or a Nokia Symbian phone instead!
This is not possible on HTC's Pocket PC phones.
LOL im new to the Hermes world but im quite glad and amused to see such posts about the elusive answering machine happening down here.

it is impossible on Hermes, but it might be possible with Prophet. Prophet can record conversations (both side), and it can automatically pick up the phone, so if someone finds a way to play a sound for the other party, then we have an answering machine!
Depends on your definition of answering machine.
I've acomplished this, somewhat.
Get a service like CallWave that can forward voicemail to an email attachment, notification via SMS.
Sign up for AIM email (2gb). Link to that in Pocket outlook. Send receive when u text a txt indicating that you have a new VM.
caveats: REQUIRES LARGE DATA XFER plan. It IS an answering machine in the sense that your vm will play out of the speaker. -- unless you have a wired headset or get A2DP. I had a problem with AIM mail not receiving emails from one of my providers. Workaround: GMAIL forwards to AIM.
I prefer aim for this cos it allows IMAP, incase you want to set up your other, non hermes devices to "read" you voicemails.
HTH
EDIT:
OR u can even set to do this for a PUSH email acct. This way, lets say u miss a call, and you don't see it until much later... by the time u look at it, email w. attachment will already be sitting in the inbox, waiting.
or just use the answering machine most telcos offer with the plan you sign up with, its what i use.
i did like the one on nokia, that and the app that puts sounds into the background of your call but Pocket pc has soooo many other cool features its easy to overlook these.

That one is not free with many operators in your home country (I for instance pay the air time for listenimg to recorded calls) and THREE times the money as an onboard solution when roaming (roaming with onboard: you pay 1 time the roaming fee (you pay the call being forwarded to the country you roam in) / roaming with your solution: You pay the call being forwarded to the country you roam in, then pay for having the call routed back to your home country where the AM is and finally pay for listening to the message).

. . . one more thing: operators' voice mail doesn't allow fancy stuff like diverting some people to voice mail, others to /dev/null (busy tone). This you can do with Symbian-based software like SmartAnswer. I wouldn't expect anything less from WM5-based apps.

How can I fix this using registry or any tweak tool for windows mobile 6.1
thanks
hello,
i wondered if it might be possible to develop an application which enables one to send an sms directly to another phone (running this application)
one may wonder, why i want to do such a thing, but for the better understanding, i will it explain it right here:
i moved to another city two weeks ago and i ordered my phone- and dsl-line at "1&1". 1&1 activated my phoneline and dsl 16000kbit/s connection. additionally they sent me a sim-card for my mobile phone. it enables me to call any fixed line number without any cost. and after a bit of research on the 1&1 website i found, that i can buy a second sim. i would be able to call this sim without any cost, too.
but the sms would be, as everywhere else 19€ct/sms.
so i wondered, if it might be possible to write a windows mobile-software that would be able to send some text directly via the cellular line. without passing the sms-gateway.
i thought of: text-to-tone conversion-software which then calls the other phone, which auto-pickups on certain phone-numbers, and then receives the tone-sequence, and converts it back to readable text.
of cause, the better solution would be to send the text digitally, but i don't even know if that might be possible.
any suggestions and ideas are very welcome.
sorry for my bad english, and sorry for the fact, that i will not be often online, cause my own pc is broken, so i have to go online in school.
greetings

Wouldn't this be similar to a fax machine?
Not being obnoxious, but it just sounds difficult since SMS is rather just a quick way to send messages from one phone to another. Calling and sending messages via text wouldn't be fast at all. I'd rather just say what I have to say...
i'd say if it was possible it would require both phones to have the program to interp the data recieved as the right type of sms
it's much like the sms over gprs thing
lemme get this straight, this is essentially an analog modem emulator, so not only would "messages" be able to be sent but files could aswell.
Would it also be possible to make "said" communications when your already on a call? that would be cool
Carnivor calls Rudegar on the phone,
Carnivor really says, "Hi Rudegar, im gonna send you that excel file now"
Rudegar really says, "Ok Carn"
you could have a signal that it sent to trigger the other phones running app to be ready to listen for the signal, then handshake and transmit and recieve data,quick ok msg on the screen, or even have it so you get "transfer completed" in the earpiece once completed you can carry on speaking over the phone.
Rudegar really says, "Thanks Carn, this is really good info, chat chat chat
intresting concept!!
you could intergrate "send data" into the phone app skin so when your in a call its easy to start up,
so it'd be good for small file transfer, or a chat app for ppl that have spare minutes to burn and dont mind not being able to make and recieve calls whilst its running.
but it could have its uses
Hi,
yes it seems to be a modem emulator, while being on my way home yesterday i thought about the problem bypassing that gateway... i thought about an own sms-gateway.
anyone has some information on how a sms gateway works? so i could write one and integrate it into my Fritz!Box or run it on my computer. this would enable me to send sms without cost, because calls and connections inside of the 1&1 VoIP network are costless...
the analog modem emulator would be an excellent idea, too... as it would allow to transmit files and "realtime" chat between one or more people.
so, any ideas on the modem emulator and the gateway are apreciated.
greetings

just Get mxit it doez dat
Get mxit it does what u mean but both phones need have this Client and you need to be online at the same time and if you not it has offline message storage and it doez filesharing to www.mxit.co.za/wap and try smsbug www.smsbug.com

so mxit is a chatrelay for other instant messaging protocols, and one has to be online via GPRS/3G/UMTS/EDGE ... this produces extra cost and is not exactly the thing i wanted to have.
smssbug is a great alternative, if you're sitting in front of a pc, but no alternative for me, as it also produces cost although this is secondary when talking about 3ct/sms.
what about that "modem" emulation? is there any software out in the internet? i haven't found anything via google.
and the next thing i am thinking about is, if it might be possible to digitalize the phone-to-phone communication. or is it limited to analogoue transmission of data, because of the way it is transported over the network?
i haven't looked into the idea with the sms-gateway, but i will look that up as soon as possible, when i have my internet-connection at home.
greetings

Well, i'd like to develop a security program that if your pocket pc phone gets stolen, you'd be able to do something different than just get the logs, gps coordinates, and number--i'd like to develop something that where if it gets stolen and you text the persons new number with a special word (like camera), it'll take a picture of the current setting of the phone. Sure at times, it might be in there pocket, but as long as you text that word, the phone takes pictures without the jacker knowing it and sends you the picture. I've never developed something so i'm asking if anybody here has, to what the first step would be. I chose this (got it from a convo with a friend) because i've yet to see something of this sort. Thanks
That would be slick.....hahaha..... that would be crazy if the ass taht stole it was in the same place u were....the club or something! NICE...I wish I had some programing skills....ONE
Yea, that's why i'd like to develop something like this--there would be a lot of interest and i've already heard that it would be super nice to have. Just need a cushion to start
I have two thoughts on this:
The phone side of it could be a simple MMS automation process. It would cut out a lot of work, because the MMS app already has the ability to interact with the camera and add the picture to the MMS and send it, even video and audio.
Secondly, there are programs out there, such as Vito FindMe, that provide the necessary code for making your phone run an automated process when it receives a specific word via SMS. In the Vito FindMe case, if it receives the word, it connects to GPS if available and then sends the phones GPS coordinates to the Sms'er. If a similar but open source type of Vito FindMe software could be found, most of the work would be done already. Then all you would need to do is tweak it to run the automated MMS script instead of GPS.
PS I am aware that Vito FindMe is free, but I don't think it is open source Etc I don't think the code is available.
What programs would i start off to develop this?
There is one more thing to think about. When someone stoles your phone, he probably won't use your sim-card (=phone number). To achieve all of this you need to find thief's phone number. You'd need some app to let you know the new nubmer when someone changes sim-card.
In reading the forums here for a while now, it seems like hardly anyone uses Google Voice for anything. This surprises me, since I've always used GV and I can't imagine not using it. I mean, it lets you read/write/manage your SMS messages on your computer (ie I don't have to pull out my phone to text people if I'm at my computer), lets you make/receive calls straight to your computer (ie I don't have to pull my phone out necessarily if I want to make/receive a call and I'm at my computer), calls made/received on your computer don't count against your minutes, and if you happen to still have a MyFaves plan (and I know several of you do) you can set GV as one of your Faves and have all calls made/received with your handset free as well. The only problem I've ever had with it is that it sends/receives SMS messages over your data network, so if you're somewhere where the data connection is clogged (like I was when I was at a music festival recently), you can't send/receive texts. Even so, with all these advantages (some of them pretty huge IMO), why does it seem like no one uses it?
So, do you? If not, why not?
I use it and have regularly text/mms blocked.
Use it for texting and voice mail.
Not perfect, many things I would like improved, but definitely worth it for me.
I only use it for voicemail

I'm curious, what would you like to see improved? Personally, I'd like to be able to send mass texts from my phone, and to be able to send/receive MMS. I know you can send "mass" (to like five recipients, which, I mean, I've never needed to send a text to more than five people, so that's worked fine for me) texts through GV on a computer, but I can't get it to work on my phone.
I use it for international calls, international TXTing (no longer avail.), and craigslist or similar type of communication with people I don't want to share my real phone no. with.
I also use it in conjunction with Gizmo5 when I'm overseas. Sometimes I use this method when my minutes approach the limit.
MMS please! It's about time. This is the only reason why I still have to use my actual phone number.

Or you could use email. Or you could upload the picture to dropbox and SMS a dropbox link. Or you could share on any of the other numerous photoshare sites. There's a million ways around the MMS issue if you need to send some crucial media message, but I agree that it would be nice to have the functionality regardless.
We need pitcher messages, at least pitcher hosting so other people can just click the link. I use Google Voice but it's not perfect, it's not that fast.. it needs to be faster.
I just use it for the vm to text. That's pretty handy. I don’t have to talk to or even listen to people anymore!

First I love GV. I have it routed to my home via sip, my cell with the GV app and when I'm traveling with the client built into gmail.
Improvement:
1. MMS would be great. Yes, I could use the cell or gmail but... it would be nice if it were incorporated into GV.
2. The GV organization for messaging (both the app and website) is well, basic. I don't get why all texts from one person can not stay in one convo. Makes it harder to find old text messages.
3. I would like to see more way to initiate conference calls
4. international calls could be cheaper. Yes they are cheaper than skype but that is not cheap... On my phone I use the voxofon app and at home voip with callwithus.
5. petty maybe, but I wish I could adjust the time before VM kicks in.

I would also *love* to have all my texts from a single person organized into per-person threads, and wonder why there's not a simple way to do this.
This is kind of interesting...
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/19/google-voice-now-lets-you-port-your-own-phone-number/
Need MMS and also we REALLY need an alternative GV app.
Maybe one day Go SMS, Chomp or Handcent will support GV. That would be nice.
I love it and use it for my voicemail.
I have a Seattle number that most of my friends know, but upon moving to Arizona, being able to have an AZ local number was a big plus. Now I can have 2 numbers on one cell and not have to update any of my long-term contacts of a number change or any of that nonsense.
I use it, but I don't really love it.
I do not like their voicemail service AT ALL, however I like the convenience of giving people my google voice number, people whom I don't necessarily like
I use it for all my vmails, and for texting. I may even lower my texting package from tmo soon to save a few bucks. I can block people easily, can set custom greetings for different groups of people, and I can even use my bluetooth to make phone calls via my PC bypassing the need for a big voice package.
I use it for voicemail primarily and its the number I give out to businesses and people I don't really care to talk to so I can screen the calls. I also use it more when I don't have my phone on me or im on the computer
Sexy Vibrant featuring Nero V3 w/Voodoo, and FFC installed
I use it all the time. I like how I can screen my calls with it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I used to use it but I found it redundant and some people didn't appreciate having to keep up with so many phone numbers (GV, Business, Real Vibrant number). It doesn't support MMS so that made it hard to use exclusively.
Plus, I could do without those services running in the background.
It's nice for when you're selling stuff on CraigsList and don't want to give your real number, though.
I do hate Google for making it impossible for us to take our numbers off without giving another real number, or removing Google Voice from our Google Account.
But a quick phone number change took care of that.
I use it for texting some people that i dont want to have my real tmo number.I still have the unlimited texts....i've been thinking of dropping unlimited texting from my plan. I wish I had myfaves so I could have unlimited free calling with it...gotta find a way to get myfaves...hope tmo brings it back.
Its also great for using online,for example, Craigslist etc. Overall I think its great and I can't wait for more innovative features to be added.
