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....

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

On my Nokia N95 it would say the name of the person calling me. Can you do this on the X1 ?
do you mean like displaying the name of the person, even if their not saved in your contact list? like how the caller id does on a home phone?

No, the phone would speak out the name of the person calling. So if Joe Blogs called my on my N95 I would hear 'ring, ring, Joe Blogs, ring ring, Joe Blogs...........'
well...back on my blackjack II, i remember when i upgraded from wm 6.0 to 6.1, there was a new program up there called "Voice Command" that allowed you to do this. So I'm guessing it'd still work on the X1 since its an official microsoft program. So just try googling "Windows Voice Command"
Yes, get "Microsoft Voice Commad" and check the settings. By default it should be set to bluetooth only, but you can change it so it reads the name even without the bluetooth. I like it a lot with bluetooth, cause you can set it to also read your text to you
Yeah, but I can't find an answer if the BT on the X1a and MSVC has the same issue as on the Touch Pro, where if you have it say the name of the incoming caller, it won't. You get a corruption sound. Normally that a bell sound. So normally you get "<your ringtone> and in the background of the ringtone, you hear "you got a call from 888-8888"" Or instead of the phone#, you hear the name if its in your address book.
When its broken, you hear your ringtone and in the background a small beep"
here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/about-voice-command.mspx
give it a try and let us know.
even i like that feature on nokia phones
My Voice Command doesn't work properly on incoming calls either. It doesn't say the name of the caller, or even the telephone number. I have seen it work perfectly on an Omnia. Odd that it doesn't work on the X1!

i am in fact looking for this?
my previous phone use to display name of the callers, even if they werent stored in my contacts
how can i get this to work on my x1?
much apperciated
You need MS Voice Command or something similar for X1 to talk.
The current version of MS Voice Command combined with the current WM6.1 build does not announce Caller ID even though the feature is there. Reasons...I don't know. All of the other voice funtionality works great though, including reading of SMS and MMS messages among other things.
caller anouncement doesnt work on the x1 and i dont think anyones has come up with a solution to it yet.
Same
It attenuates my rintone every so often as if it's going to say the name but it never does.
Certain versions of WM don't support caller announcement. I think it is explained on the MS website for Voice Command.
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.

Thank youu
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.
I have just picked up my new phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and I'm trying my best to not EVER show my real number to ANYONE. I have set up google voice for phone calls and it seems to work nice but now I'm trying to work with my sms/mms messaging. I can send text's out via the google voice app and it works fine but I want a more integrated solution such as the google voice calling portion.
For example... ANYTIME any app needs to make a call or I choose to make a call it ALWAYS shows my google voice number. That way at no point (making a phone call) will anyone EVER see my real phone number. This is EXACTLY the effect I want.
For texting however, I open up the google voice app and send a text and it shows it's coming from my google voice number. That's want I want too. BUT, if I open the stock messaging app by mistake or another app sends a text (using the stock messaging app) it shows my real phone number. This is NOT the effect I want.
Any ideas?

You can call your service provider and have sms/mms deactivated.

How then would I get text messages?
Um, if people only have your Google Voice number, that is the number they will text to. Only drawback is it's SMS only.

Well obviously having people text my google number would send texts that way... I'm saying how will calling my service provider and disabling mms/sms have any effect on getting people to use my google number? I guess you were alluding to the fact that if people do have my real number then sending a text would be pointless. Which is true, but last time I checked when you send a text to a number that does not support sms/mms you get no response back saying something like "sorry no such text number". I would never know the other user even sent the text in the first please.
Drawback... Wow! I thought I could get MMS via google voice. Thanks for the tip!
Hi,
Prior to 4.2.2 Android gave me the option to use a different dialer/phone app as default when making calls (from e.g. a contact card). This could be Skype, or Lynch for instance, the same way messaging allows me to have Whatsapp as default instead of SMS. This option has now gone away which is a huge irritant to me. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this functionality back?
I have a brilliant ap that routes all outgoing calls through our company's cloud PBX (thereby making international calling dirt cheap), but it needs to grab the call as it is being made. It's killing me that ths feature has gone away...
Any help would be appreciated,
M
Working with the latest Omega ROM, (Ver 11, 4.2.2), and I had to choose my dialer (installed Dialer one).
Usually when I working with SIP dialer, it won;t show in the default program, just integrate with the dialer (after dialing its ask you what service to use - phone or SIP).
