On incoming call send SMS to other number

Hi,
I want to develop the following app:
I have two mobiles with Windows. One for business and one private. When somebody calls on my business phone (which I leave at home) I want to divert them to the voicemail (maybe after one ring) so they can leave a message. At the same time I want this mobile to send a SMS to my private phone with the number of the caller (caller-id?). So I can phone them back after listening to the voicemail.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction to develop this? Is it possible to develop this?

If you have VStudio with WM5 SDK, I think it won't be difficult (I think. I dont have WM5 SDK, as I'm cheapo and using evc). There is this thing call.. State and Notification Broker thing that WM5 has which check on the state of the phone and do something about it. Probably a good place to start.

a software MagiCall ..has such feature..not sure if its sms includes the callers number..but custom sms can be set when incoming call comes..
google for MagiCall

Is it possible to trigger based on incoming caller ID

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

'Hidden Number' Application?????

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.

Skype on Archos 70

Anybody have any luck with using skype to make phone calls on the Archos 70? I have been thinking about switching off my phone data plan and getting a mifi hotspot instead and using my tablet to make phone calls or maybe just getting a cheap feature phone with no data (I rarely make calls).
I have Skype set up on the tablet but they want $16 or so to set up a phone number and the first three months etc and I don't want to put that out if it doesn't work the way I expect. I have been able to install it but without a phone number, I can't use it for much..

You can't use skype with sip providers afaik, so tough luck on that. May want to check about using sipdroid/ipkall?/pbxes/gv instead.

I have played a little with sipdroid and I can connect outside calls using my google voice number but I couldn't figure out how to make the tablet receive incoming calls.
I haven't been able to find a good noob step by step guide to getting it set up.

Instead of skyle, why don't you check an app called gvdialer, you can make free US Canada calls.
You will need google voice, gizmo5 or sip service and sipdroid.
I have been using it and it is working very good.

Sipdroid have some pbxes set up automation which you may want to explore before you do the following. Someone mentioned that pbxes can do google voice callback too (Which I saw was only for premium account, but he said its not.) Do tell if you got that working, which I would love to do (to cut sipsorcery from my chain)
Okay, here's a quick and easy method.
Step1: Register an ipkall number, add it to google voice. If it fail, delete the ipkall number and try again (maybe different ipkall area code) til it want to verify.
Step 2: This is an easy UDP method (but will run your battery out faster): sign up at sip2sip.info, and put in your sip2sip phone number/sip domain name(sip2sip.info) to the ipkall configuration page.
I recommend learning about pbxes and using it instead of sip2sip though. It's more powerful and allow tcp connection (sap less resource). but it never hurt to make it work with sip2sip first.
Step 3: Connect to sip2sip using sipdroid (you really only need the sip2sip.info domain name, sip address, password.
Step 4 (optional): Test by calling your ipkall number and see if it reach your phone
Step 5: Verify your ipkall number through google voice. (Use gizmo or skype or real phone or some tone generator if you need to emulate a proper tone sound)
Step 6: Get one of the available google voice callback dialer, and a dialer app like 'dialer one'.
You should be all set up. If it's not clear enough do mention it. I just wrote it on the spot, so...
I'm going through ipkall -> sipsorcery -> pbxes -> sipdroid right now myself.

Thanks for the info MoonPhatasm. Unfortunately, I am such a noob when it comes to the actual phone capabilities of these devices that I am lost. I have signed up for a sip2sip.info number and an ipkall number. I have google voice and sipdroid installed. Where do I go from here? When I try to add the number to google voice, I get a force close.

Ok, here is where I am...
I was able to create all the accounts and I finally found an ipkall number that was not rejected by Google voice. Right now, the number appears but it has to be called and a code has to be entered for it to be reclaimed. Since I don't have the phone working yet, I don't know if that is possible.
I have sipdroid installed and I entered the sip2sip.info username, proxy etc into it and the green light appears in the task bar. When I try to make an outgoing call, the screen comes up like it was going to make a call but then the slider automatically goes down and ends the call. I am also not able to connect an incoming call.
I had set up the quick connection between google voice and pbxes within sipdroid and I was able to make outgoing calls. I deleted that information though because I wasn't sure if it was relevant. If I can use it, I wrote it down so I could reenter it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I finally got this to work in the most simple way possible and it is awesome. All you need is sipdroid and the google voice app installed on your phone (and obviously a google voice account).
To set it up:
1. On a computer, open google voice, go to settings --> voice settings and check the checkbox next to Google Chat.
2. Open sipdroid and click on New PBX linked to my google voice (google voice needs to be installed and signed in on the phone)
3. A screen will come up for you to create your account. Your google voice email address should appear on this screen. Just fill in the other information.
4. Click Create
5. After a few minutes, a green dot will appear in the notification bar to indicate that sipdroid is active.
That's all I did.

You didn't follow everything.
First of all, the guide I wrote said to install gv callback dialer and dialerone. They're what you use to make outgoing calls. You may have to set the gv callback dialer to always be used for calling, and set your ipkall number there.
Secondly, verifying the ipkall phone number is on step 5, which is to be done AFTER you have the phone incoming call working (Tested by calling the ipkall number using another phone).
But interesting on that google voice/chat thing, and I'll have to check that.

Oops, I was trying to test the outgoing calls without setting up dialerone and then assuming something was broken when I actually had it set up correctly.
Either way, thanks for you help. My new "phone" is working awesome with GV, PBXes, and sipdroid.

Yw, and thanks for making me test out that automated set up again. I was suspecting that sipdroid users gets to make special accounts with google voice set up on the pbxes. It's confirmed now. That google voice peering is normally for paid users only... But for some reason with the automatic set up, we also get it...
Grats about the phone

anyone tried this apk on Archos?
villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/skype045.php

There is a new version on the Market as of today (or yesterday)? But it says
Video calling now supported on more Android phones. See the What’s New section for full handset list...
If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed in the What's New section, you should still be able to enable video calling in Skype settings. Please note that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.
On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera.
If the setting to enable video calling is not available in the Skype Settings on your device that means video calling is not yet supported on your phone.

I gave it a try with Archos 70, since it has no Rear camera to see, but still no joy. No video support at all.

there must be a way
at least we get the option. My commtiva m600 has 2 cameras but runs 2.1 so skype doesn't support it. We either need a genius developer or patience, I'm sure it won't be long.

The new Skype for android can only access the rear camera. So we would need to re-label it as such. Or Skype would need to recognize only on camera if only one exists regardless of label.
I know how to view hardware on my Archos, but changing the label so apps see it as the "rear" camera..... no clue yet.

SIP calling with MIUI dialer app not working

I have a SIP number and would love to use it reagularily next to my mobile network number, but unfortunately I can not get the MIUI dialer app to work properly with SIP calls.
I can set up my SIP account in the dialer and receive calls without a problem. Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to tell the dialer to make a specific call through the SIP though. I expected to be offered the choice of which provider I want to make each call through, but there is no per call choice.
I can dig in the settings and restart the dialer app to make it dial exclusively through SIP, or exclusively through mobile network, but that is extremely unpractical. I know a third party SIP app woul work, but I really want to use the integrated solution. Does anyone know how to pull this off?

Just guessing. If Dialer includes hidden support for SIP, maybe Contacts have too. That way you would define a Contact with SIP URI only, and Dialer would recognize and route as SIP call

The SIP implementation isn't really thought through by Xiaomi. But in your address book you can add "internet calls" for contacts (e.g. [email protected]) which are always called via your SIP profile. It's a good workaround for known contacts.

have you solve the problem using the contacts? i have same problem, receive calls normally, but dialing to a [email protected] on contact, receive a message: anyone response,limit time expired.

I have Redmi Note 8. I was able to use a SIP account before, I just dialed the number and I was prompted to select the account I would like to dial that number from (my SIM cards or my SIP account). Then I factory reset my phone. Added my SIP account back to the built-in phone APP, but when I try to call using my SIP number, I am prompted to select the account I would like to dial from, when I select my SIP account, then I am prompted to choose from my SIM cards only again. My SIP account is correct, because it registered correctly and if I setup SIP account only the SIP calls go through.
