Call Blocking - Windows 8 General

Please excuse my ignorance. I've searched the forums and haven't found anything.
Has anyone found an API or a way to block specific phone calls or at least send them automatically to voice mail?
I know this isn't possible on a stock ROM, but there has to be a way to automatically reject a call somehow.

If you're using your Windows 8 system for taking phone calls, you're probably confused. If you can't tell the difference between the Windows 8 forum and the Windows Phone 8 forum, you're definitely confused. Admittedly, Microsoft's branding sucks, but please do note that the name of the OS on your phone is "Windows Phone" not "Windows".

Any Answering Machine

Please anyone have found a sofware to answering incoming calls after the predefined time for Windows Mobile.
I heard there is such software for Symbian OS, but no google search result for PPC.
Thanks
No I don't think there is one for the Magician. Have a search around, particularly against my member name on recording phone calls.

How to receive incoming call notification

1st of all - hello!
This is my first post in this Forum and I feel very uncomfortable at this point because I got a question, which has been hit many times before. Further it won't be the exact right place here to ask, because I dont own a XDA but a Motorola MPx200 with Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone Edition. Nevertheless, I guess you can help me because developement in .NET is quite the same - and most of the features will work there too.
But getting startet...
I'm trying to write a program, which will indicate on my desktop computer if there is a incoming call on my mobile. Further it has to show me the incoming callers ID, maybe from the buildin phonebook of the mobile. For that Programm i have to write a little "listener" for my mobile, which calls a function (which talks to my desktop) when a incoming call is received.
Unfortunatly I can't write C++, but I think there must also be a solution in C# .NET over a API call. But I don't know, which method in which DLL I should call to receive the information if there is an incoming call or not.
Can anybody please help figuring out how to do this.
What I know now is, that it has to do with RIL and TAPI, but I must read myself in RIL to understand that.
Your my last chance - i googled the whole day, even read about 20 pages on google groups but there wasn't the "All-i-need-to-be-happy"-solution at all. I also have searched the wiki in here...
Sorry if you don't understand some parts of this text - i come from germany, so english isn't my native language.
Thanks so long.

Hi
for WM2003 it is kind of hard and involves a lot of study concernaing TAPI.
with WM5 it should be quite easy using .net compact framework 2.0 as there is a new namespace Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status and a System Property called: SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCall yet I have not tried that route.
One more Option which I didn't try - but could be a chance for you without learning TAPI is to register a small console.exe within the notifcation queue to run on the appropriate system event! (memmaid is a good explorer for the notiication queue)
This option will most likely just tell you that there is a call - and now details - I have no time to research this right now.

Automatic predial for IP calls

Hi guys,
I am looking for a function in Windows Mobile 6.1 or a software that can help me with dialing international calls.
When calling abroad I will always use one of the China Mobile IP call numbers to lower the costs for the calls.
1. First I have to find the number in my contacts and note down the number on a piece of paper.
2. Then dial the IP call predial followed by the number I want to call.
I have the feeling this is far too complicated, so I am looking for easier solutions - changing all my international contacts and put the predial in front is no option. I am looking for:
1. A function within Windows Mobile 6.1 that can help me with that.
2. A software that can do the job.
Is there any solution?
Thanks,

Need an app that forward selected calls

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.

[Q] No function to hide caller id ponctually ? (app to hide number except contact)

Hello,
I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.
I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...
I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?
Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)
Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.
Hi!
On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.
I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers
I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.
I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though
