I was just wondering if it would be possible to make an app which can play an mp3, when somebody calls you and send that to the caller.
I have seen blacklist programs which can blacklist a particular person. But i haven't found a app that could do like i described.
I think it would be handy to have an option menu when a person calls you, where you are in a meeting. You then click on a ex. a 5 favorites list where one is a personal mp3 which plays "sorry i'm in a meeting right know. Please call me back in 30 minutes" or "sorry i'm currently watching a movie, i'll call you back in 2 hours"
this way you don't have to change your voicemail over and over again.
Sounds fun or just ridiculous ?
Huh, a bit of both... But I'm not spending my life updating my voicemail, theres one standard announcement, and if people can't reach me then either they will try later or I'll call them back... but I don't give a damn about people knowing why i'm not available
To the subject, like pretty much all WM phones I don't think the HD2 can play an audio file through the phone line. It can only take the sound from the mic, which goes directly to the radio. Just like it can't record an incoming call, incoming sound goes straight to the speaker without going through the main processor, which thus can't intercept it.
There are such programs that will send an sms to the caller instead of voice though.

Is there a way i can asign rintones to people or numbers, so i dont need to open the phone up to see who is caling
Thanks John
You can do it on a per contact basis in 'contacts' There is a ringtone feild when you edit the contact. It occurs to me it would be a good way to get the phone to announce callers when the screen is closed. just record yourself saying the name of teh caller and use that as the ringtone!
Excellent thanks Tintoy, i did look there, but i must have looked with my eyes closed, It works fine now, thanks again
that aint a half bad idea!!!!
if you created all the names as spoken then put that into a proper ringtone say at 5, 10, 15, 20 second intervals, it atleast gives you time to get it out yer pocket, and alarm you well enough aswell,
ie,
RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling"
Have some fit husky bird say it, and its rock n roll!!!
I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated
go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.
Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.
CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.
Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.
+1 for magicall... it rocks
Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now
Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it
Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution
I wonder if there is an application that would pick up my phone after some rings, and plays a message and people can drop a message.
So I will have a voicemailbox with recorded messages which I can point and click at, save them, listen again, etc. Just recorded als .mp3 on internal storage. Maybe even callback options, sms-back options etc.
I really hate dialling that voicemailbox number, choosing 1 and 2 to listen messages. I have no overvieuw of messages etc.
The app looks fairly simple to me. Does it exist already?
You're searching for some kind of on-device visual voice mail
I would really like to see this at this moment my voicemail is nothing more than a question to mail me or sms me but most people do not like that
one question when your phone is off or you are out of range what would you like another app to take it over?
This is a nice idea...
See it more as a secretary app. instead of a voicemail app.
Where you're in your car and you don't / can't talk.
Perhaps something with different messages you can choose from (you need to make them yourself?)
Something like "Hello this is <insert name>, I'm driving at the moment, please leave a message after the beep" *beep* The person leaves a message that will be saved as mp3 file for example.
@WvanWaas
When out of range, your 'standard' voicemail will take over.
But when in meetings, or as said, driving, it would be nice that the persons message can be stored on my device.
The ultimate thing would be that this program can dial my voicemail, automaticcally send DTMF tones (time and pattern), and store eventually new voicemailmessages locally. The number of new voicemails on my network is available (since manila uses it too).
With Telfort home-phone, I get emails with .mp3s of voicemail messages (VOIP). Thats really good.
With vodafone UK I was using vodafone mail - voicemails automatically appeared as emails with WAV attachments.
Was very handy
There dont exist any programs?
the only app is isecretary. it doesnt work on diamond though
I use www.youmail.com and also wrote a simple client to parse through my emails and just list my voicemails in a UI.
Youmail also does speech to text transcription so you don't even have to play the sound file-- just read it.
It not for outside US I guess...
It looks promising...
It exists for Nokia phones
I have not found an application as such for the diamond but I know that it exists for Nokia. With the Nokia N95 there is a built in application that works as a voicemail. Of course only when there is coverage and the phone is working.
The application picks up the call after some time (configurable) and plays a greeting message that you have previously recorded and after the beep, the caller can record his message. The application saves that recording and whenever you are available you can playback that message.
Hope to find one for Diamond.
Yup, my T-Mobile voicemail charges are silly, plus I'd like to have more control and functionality from my voicemail. An included blacklist filter would be handy too.
I have a Touch Pro (Raphael).. Is there really nothing around at the moment that will work? That's kind of strange.
Just kick this one up once more ...
This type of app could cause some expensive long distance charges if you were outside of your local calling area though, no? I'm thinking your phone would need to be connected to the call in order to record an .mp3 voice message locally on the device, whereas carrier voicemail can be received regardless of where you are anywhere in the world without costing you as the user a fee to receive a message.
I see that Touch HD can record calls.

A simple application which auto-answers, plays a file, records a message and nicely puts them in a list, so I have total controll of my voicemessages?
That would be well killer-app... I'd pay for it, simply because I need it.
i realy want this app too!!!!!
Sounds nice to me as well
+1 here....
Try This. Loaded on my Diamond but havn't tested it.

Why I Secretary can’t mute the microphone of my xperia x1 and why the caller can’t hear my answer message
How can I fix this using registry or any tweak tool for windows mobile 6.1
thanks
that's what every diamons-user needs!

Here's my scenario,
I'm receiving calls from 3 people that are annoying, I'm not looking for to block these people, but looking an app that can REDIRECT these SELECTED CALLERS to the number of my CHOOSING.
please help me find an app that forwards calls (THAT DOES NOT TAMPER WITH VOICEMAIL)
Thanx in adv.
I hear that phoneAlarm does this from pocketMax.
http://www.pocketmax.net
just tried it, and did find anything regarding call forwarding.
anyone else????
This won't help with your scenario, but might be useful for future reference.
Google Voice offers this functionality by default. You can send those callers to another number, or straight to voice-mail, or block them entirely if you choose.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any WinMo apps that will do that.
Not sure if MagiCall will help you. You can set up custom rules for each number.
Worked great when I was getting annoying calls.
I normally was using Magi call, but have it under hang up and drop. Problem is that it hangs up a second later (they can still hear my background and notice that it the call is being hanged up for the 1 second).
I have tried about 2-3 apps that they are suppose to block the call, instead it send s them to voice mail (I don't want them to have access to my voice mail) or does hang up immediately. Only if there is a TRUE CALL BLOCKER is would consider it.
I now focusing in finding a app that forwards these selected callers to any number of my choosing.
There has to be an app like this, someone hopefully comes through with that answer.

I'm looking for the same thing and PhoneAlarm Pro does support this feature from what I've read. I downloaded the Pro version and installed it. But after restart, it will get stuck on the main screen and nothing else will show. I waited for a while to see if it will load but nothing ever happened and I kept restarting over and over. I finally ended up doing a hard reset. I'm running on the Leo Cell Evo v5 rom tmobile and I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I don't feel like flashing to another rom to see if it works for me so I'll just leave it alone and let someone else figure it out.
Hi there,
I'm looking for some software that would automatically answer the phone, play a pre-recorded message, then give the option to be put through to me or leave a voicemail immediately (press 1 to talk directly, press 2 to leave a voicemail....etc...).
Another good feature would be to divert certain groups of contacts to voicemail / pre-recorded message at certain times - i.e. business contacts 6pm-9am, personal contacts 9am-6pm...etc...
Are there any decent 'call handling' apps you can recommend?

Similar, but I'd like to encourage people to leave voicemails first, rather than call me directly unless absolutely necessary. i.e giving them the option of leaving a voicemail first, then holding if they really need to talk one-to-one.
I get a lot of calls and it can be difficult to answer them when you're in the middle of a piece of work. I think it'd cut down the amount of direct calls I get, and I can set some time aside for dealing with the non-urgent calls, which will mean clients get a more thorough response to their query.
I've found some software called iSecretary, which seems to be worth a look into.
AFAIK it doesnt exist. I (vaguely) remember reading somewhere that phone hardware is specifically made to not be able to do this as it would deprive the telcos their voicemail revenue. I think isecretary uses the speakerphone and records the output with the mic, meaning you get a very soft, low quality recording... plus it wouldnt be the most practical option if you are in meetings
