[Q] Disabling incoming phone calls? - Galaxy Tab General

What would be the easiest way to disable incoming phone calls on the tab? I'd like to be able to make calls but not receive them.
Naturally if disabling only the inbound is impossible, I could live with disabling outbound as well.
Data should work normally as well as contact syncing with Exchange (not sure if it's related in any way to the phone...).
Current firmwares:
PDA: JME (roto v3)
PHONE: JHA
CSC: JME

You could set your call forwarding for all calls to go to a disconnected or invalid number.

Hmm.. yes why not... theoretically.
The thing is, thought, that I have multi/dual sim, so if the call from my tab is forwarded to a number not in use, the caller will get the "number not in use" message. This would make my primary phone useless and would mean I can't receive calls on my phone either.
Still think disabling break in traffic on tab is the only way to go...

Bump bump.

It can't go to voicemail because I want to answer the call on my Desire Z. I simply don't want a call to ring on my gal tab at all.

You are telling us that both the tab and the desire are seen by the network as the desire?

I don't know how the network sees my dual SIM cards but I can't call forward to my own number from the tab. It just gives me an error message.

I would probably try flashing the radio from the TMo US Tab, as this is known not to support voice calls. This would of course disable both incoming and outgoing, and you'd do so at your own risk as it could end up bricking your Tab (though I'm doubtful of this, since TMo US Tabs will work with the Euro Tab radio).

(Q) Calls on USA gt with no minutes?

I have been reading many posts on flashing roms and such to USA galaxy tablets that allow them to make calls. Ok, I understand that. What I want to know is how that all works out since no US plans have call minutes for our tablets. I am looking for specifics. Is this VOIP? or what? Second, Why only 2G if this mod is made?
For GSM tabs, you need to use a sim with voice and data.

Its VOIP. At least the ones I've seen. Made over wifi. Since there is no calling plan with minutes tied to the Tab it can't be a typical voice call. Sipdroid from the market with Google Voice accomplished this as well and is very easy to set up without root (I'm pretty sure). Just set up GV. Download sipdroid and before entering anything click on the bottom tab that says create with GV account. It will ask password and to create a pbx account and ow right in that screen. Then its done.
Its funny but if you try to select the dialer it says calls can't be made with Samsung Galaxy Tab. But if you select the box for a number the keyboard dialer pops up and allows you to type a number! Works great.
I just tried it over 3g with wifi off and works as well. Just select allow voice over 3g in your account tab.
This was showed to me and there is a thread on droidx forums
I realize this isn't 100% relevant to your thread, just thought I would point you to it if you were wanting to make calls on tab.

All the provider cares about is the Sim card. So all you need is a sim with what you want, and then change/disable the IMEI of your tab.
I was able to set this up bit when I call my goog voice # from my wife's phone it still only rings my dumbphone. Do I need to add my tab number to Google voice somehow?

Go to your Google account and select the voice icon. Settings in top right. Voice setting. Then at bottom select add another phone. I was able to add it, but cannot get it to verify. So I'm not sure if it can receive calls, just make.
And to the poster about the SIM card, I'm on VZW, no sim card or slot.

For SIPDroid, does it do that annoying thing where it asks the receiving person to accept the call ? Or is it just like regular calling?
Does it do that call back thing?
If you install firmware that allows phone calls it works no different than any other Android phone. Pull the SIM out of your Android phone and insert into the Tab and viola you have a 7" Android phone that can make calls and browse the web. The easiest way to think about it is that the Tab is a big Android phone, the carrier's don't know any difference because it's running the same O/S as Samsung's Android phones.

Anyone here use You Mail on their Atrix?

If so have you got it to work on your phone, I set it up as I did on my Tilt 2 and all seemed fine...
So today I get a voicemail and I dial my You Mail number and it says I have no messages
So I then call my number to be brought to the att voicemail box and my message is waiting in here
Any insight would help
Mine isnt having issues. Just tried it to be sure. Sounds like for some reason your att mailbox is in use now. Try resetting up youmail maybe?
I'm having the same problem
I set up YouMail but all my voicemails are still going to my old voicemail box. When I first installed it, it seemed to work fine and it downloaded some messages. But now all new messages go to the old voicemail box. Do anybody have any ideas?
i stumbled across (you mail) last night, got excited installed it, went to register and of course gotta have a US number for it to work. yet again Canadians no go.
EDIT: sorry for the rant. it has nothing to do with your questions, just saw the post and decided to reply.
I had to change the numbers in the call forwarding section of the phone settings. Did the same in the voicemail settings. Now when I push and hold "1" it dials YouMail.

You'll need to set it manually go to settings -> call settings -> call forwarding
You'll change: when busy, unanswered, unreachable

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it's crazy... mine works, but i never set it up. i was using it on my iPhone 4, then started using the wp7 for a little bit and it was going to youmail. then i switched to my atrix and it continues to work w/o having to set it up again.
i'm guessing the quick code above changed my deposit number in at&t's system.
for the record: i did set it up on my i4, but haven't had to on any phone after.
Unless your call forwarding gets changed it should keep working.

Hey Punk! Don't call in and get my messages!

I just activated a Droid Incredible.When I get a voicemail,I get a notification on the front of the phone,telling me to dial "*86#xxxx#"
The xxxx is my voicemail passcode for when I retrieve my messages.I have it programmed into the provider's voicemail system.When I long press "1" it retrieves my mail.
I need a notification on the phone when I have a voicemail,but to have my passcode in full view is not cool.How can I change that?
Have you tried Google voice? Its better integrated with our smart phones than the carrier's option, though I understand everyone has their preferences.
That's one solution!

Does that change the display only? Because what I have in there is what I want to dial when I hold down the "1" key.
I also don't want to have to listen for prompts and key in my code everytime I check for voicemails.
I'm pretty sure there's an option once you're in your voicemail to change whether or not you have to put your code in each time you check it from your phone. just listen to all the prompts and go through the options.

That is what I do now,it works fine.
But when someone leaves a voicemail,I get a notice on the display telling me of the time of call and to "dial *86p????#"
If I have my phone put down somewhere anyone can happen by and see my passcode.I am trying prevent my passcode from being displayed.Maybe I am missing something?
I am running froyo and the stock ROM.

Ah i see i misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. I dont know of any way to make the notification not show your password. It is going to show what ever is programed in the voicemail settings.

There is no way around this. i use the same thing so i dont have to type my password in. you would have to use Google voice to get around it.

"Conditional Call Forwarding Active" message when dialing out

Is anyone else on AT&T's prepaid (GoPhone) getting a message "Conditional Call Forwarding Active" every single time a call is dialed out? I don't get the message for incoming calls. I researched and found some people experienced the same issue on other devices as they had not set their voicemail. I have my voicemail set up and all settings (as far as I can tell) are for AT&T's network. I got the message on stock GB and now I get the same message ICS LPY ROM. What's causing that message and how can I fix it?
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Nope your not the only one have the same message... although I think its carrier dependent as I get it on all my phones
Don't worry about the message, it's just highlighting that you have set your voicemail with certain conditions i.e. when busy, unavailable etc
If you cancel your voicemail settings, you should find that the message disappears.

I am not worried but it just seems it can be fixed, and I don't know how. I tried disabling the conditions but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. If anyone has any other ideas about fixing this issue, please share them.

As I said, I can't disable them - it doesn't allow me to and is restricted by the carrier.
Also, I read somewhere that disabling those settings will not forward your calls to your voicemail.

Did not know that carriers have restricted it on some networks, I'm in the UK on t mobile and can disable any of those options.
Disabling the settings will definitely stop the messaging as well as forwarding calls to your voicemail. The whole point of the message is to let you know that you have active diverts i.e. voicemail setup. Have not seen any option anywhere where you can disable the message.
thanks a lot, i have the same problem it now solved , i follow your advice setting-->call setting-->call forwarding-->the last option was enable i make it disable (Forward when unreach)

Text Forwarding App?

Just wondering, is there a text forwarding app that would work for my situation?
I have Fongo, which is an app that lets you make free calls and I texting with the app (only works on wifi).
Is there a way to route that text through my service provider (which is prepaid, no data plan)?
Thanks for your help!

I don't think that's possible.
So with some work you might be able to set something up with Google Voice.
I'm in the US so can't exactly test it out for you but it would depend on GVMax (a web service) being able to send text to a Canadian number since Google Voice cannot.
1) You can setup a Google Voice from Canada by using an app such as Burner for a temporary US number and a US web proxy for the webpage setup.
2) in gmail, setup a contact group , such as "Prepaid", with just your canadian prepaid phone number.
3) login to your google account at GVMax and follow instructions for setting it up, or use the auto setup.
4) in GVMax, have it monitor your GV sms and set up a notifier by checking "Send SMS" and putting "Prepaid" (or whatever your gmail contact group is called) in as the sms group.
Now when someone writes your google voice number it is forwarded to your prepaid phone number.
Like I said, not very easy but it should work lol.
If you want just PM me for help and/or I can test to see if GVMax can even forward to a canadian number if you have one for me to use.(i can't find a temporary canadian number like Burner app has for US number)
