I need to forward a land line rom my home to my XDA1 occasionally. It is a standard PSTN line.
On my Nokia the calling number comes up as number>, indicating a forwarded call, and on Motorolla the calling number comes up as forwarded call - number
Onthe XDA there is no indication that the number is dialing the XDA direct or dilaing the landline number and being forwarded.
Is there a fix, or a way of indicating a forwarded call?
Thanks. BB
MAN! you should ask your local landline phone company to enable "call forwarding" feature!
it is nothing about your XDA!
cgigate, i think you totally misunderstood the poster. if you ever used the call forwarding feature, you would notice on most normal mobile phone, the would be indictaors like ">", "->", "Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, so that you would know that a call that comes into your mobile phone was in fact a forwarded / transfered call (from another landline or mobile).
i have the same problem as well. it seems like this is a Phone Edition feature (or lack of feature), it doesn't support showing the call origin indicator. or maybe the Microsoft developers have just discarded this and therefore never bothered to programme to display them.
it's really a hassle as I now have no way to tell if a call was made to my mobile, OR a call was made to my office but transfered to my mobile.

Yes, I misunderstood it.
I'm using call forwarding every day.
"Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, actually it is very hard to notice , even it is Nokia/SE/Mot phone.
it's mobile phone dependent feature actually.
My last Siemens phone display a small arrow in front of the number like -> , and the little arrow stayed there as long as it's ringing, but disappeared when you look at the call register later.
I'm hoping somewhere along the line, maybe developers of Caller ID alike could pick this up and add to the feature.

XDA always missing some good features as a phone
Anyone has any suggestion?
There is no solution yet.
Not solution yet?
Now we have Wm2k3SE. Is there any solution for bbourke's problem.
I do really miss this feature, because I use dual sim adapter and sometimes call goes to "inactive" SIM and is forwarded to active SIM...
does anyone know how to discover calls comming from forwarded lines?
Hi,
in the old (and current I believe as well) Nokia phone - and most other pure mobile phones for that matter - you can dial a "p", typically by holding down the "*" for a while. The "p" makes the phone wait a little while before continuing to dial the rest of the number.
I need this feature!!!
I am using some prepaid phone cards for which this feature is really necessary.
So, anyone have a clue how to get a similar functionality on WM5? The "p" certainly does not work ...
Thanks in advance - Andy
if you're dialing live, you can dial only the connection number then open the keypad to dial the rest of the keycode manually. If you want to automate it, create a contact with the full number and you can enter in "p" there.
I have a contact for my voicemail which dials the voicemail and waits and the pin + #. this works great with voicecommand cause all I have to do is say "call voicemail" and it'll dial, enter in the password automatically and I don't have to touch the phone at all...
Interesting ... I did migrate all my number from my previous phone, where i had the "p" included in the number. The numbers also seemingly came up correctly on the PPC phone. However, when I tried to dial the number, it would not take the complete number with the "p" - I cannot remember exactly what it did, but it did not dial the whole thing. Thats why I thought/ hoped that there is another way. I guess, after what you are saying, I should give it another try ...
And yes, the application that you are describing is very similar to what I want to use. There is a prepaid international call provider, which has a local dial-in number and lets me call abroad for very little money. I call the local number - the service provider recognizes my account by the incoming phone number of my mobile - and then I dial the destination number. For the recognising part however, it is needed that the phone waits a little before it continues to dial the destination number.
Alright, alright .... works! Thx for the assurance! Tried it again and it just takes a lot longer - the pause is longer - than it used to be on my Nokia. Also, I do not hear the dialing tones after the "p" anymore, which probably put me off before.
Thanks! Thread closed
Try replacing the "p" with a "," . It will pause for a few seconds once the other side picks up the phone.
Is this possible without actually changing my area code, I just moved to the other coast and get annoyed by having to dial an area code every time I dial a local number, but for the past few years I've had the same phone number and don't want to change and lose all my old contacts... And yes I'm aware I can change it in the text menu but I'm talking about phone calls only, not texts.. Thanks..
I just add area codes to the phone numbers of all my contacts if you call local it don't matter if you add area code so that works for me

Is is truly unbelievable to me that in this day and age such an essential phone function could have been overlooked! I have been searching for days and days and found NOTHING or got stupid responses such as "use Google" (Online only, uses Data and for US Citizens only) or "use voicemail" (expensive cellular provider subscription add-on)... I mean, come on! When even the cheapest home phones can be gotten with built in answering machines, how come this essential feature is nowhere to be seen on android phones?
What's the deal, what's the technical hangup, what's the problem? Can anyone explain the REASON why there are NO call answering machine-like apps of any kind out there?

Im looking for the same thing and can't find it too!
Here is my need. I have a business phone number and my personal cell phone number. All my customers should call me to my business number which I can set to auto-forward to my cell only at the time I want to. But some of my customers know my cell phone number and they keep having this bad habit of calling me on it instead of my business phone number.
I'm looking for a app that will be tracking in the background the caller id number of incoming calls, if the number is a on list of unwanted that I have set, it will auto-answer, play an audio file recorded by me (like: "Please dial 111-222-3333 to reach me, thanks you") and then hang-up.
I don't feel alone with the need of a solution like this. And there are apps that can auto-answer call according to the caller id and there are apps that can play audio in a call, I don't see why it could not be technically possible to combine both.
wow
can't belive it, i was looking for the same and found several threads like this one, that's sad
let's hope sth comes up
Yeah, I used to have this function on my old fliphone from way back in 2002! Also, on my Windows Mobile phones after that...
Exactly. My nokia flip from ages ago (ran symbian OS) has an app on it called "Advanced Answering Machine" or "Advanced Call Manager" or something similar.
I could set it up so that it would direct calls to different greetings depending on the caller ID. An example of this is, I wont accept calls from "unknown" or "blocked" etc numbers. ACM/AAM would handle this perfectly. It would answer the phone, play the Telstra (thats a telco in australia) message "the number you have called is not available from this service." twice, then hang up. Later on I found out I was missing some important calls (the message confused some people such as the landlord who had a blocked number) so I changed it to "I do not accept calls from blocked numbers. To unblock your number, dial 1831 in front of your number. It wont cost you any more". This fixed the problem.
It was also programmed to answer calls after 30 seconds of ringing and play a standard greeting then take a message.
It was a very versatile program. I could (for example) divert certain calls to a party line if I didnt want calls from that particular number; however I didnt, as the diverted leg would cost me a fortune.
Its a shame on these advanced handsets today that such a simple, commonly available on landline phones, feature is not available. I can control televisions, fly remote controlled toys and vapourize components with a big bank of capacitors over bluetooth using my phone, yet it cant perform a simple answering machine function.
From what I hear the API that handles these functions is not directly accessable to developers; probably because "malware" could hook in and dial high priced premium calls and rack up huge bills all the while the phone owner not knowing until the monthly account comes in.
I did see one answerphone somewhere but it utilised the speaker so if it took a call (for example while your at the pub) the caller would not hear your greeting, or on the train everyone around you would hear your greeting and then the callers message, so not very practical. It would NOT work properly while the phone was on mute.
xperia phones come with buit-in answering machine feature. or use jail broken iphone and u have half a dozen apps which can do it.
unfortunately in android noway.. even if u r rooted.. no way
I cant find where to post this, this website changed so much, but it was on my new s22 ultra so....
I got a call from "NONE" the 'number' beneath it was "NN".
No voice on the other side, and I attempted to called back. Then my phone popped up a little message near the bottom of the screen... "USSD Code Running."
It kinda freaked me out. What does that mean?
Do a Google search on "USSD Code Running". A lot of info comes up.
oh my...
Which code was it?

I've seen this kind of behavior when I've had the phone in my front pocket, and I happened to be sweating. The sweat carried the electrical signals in my skin through the pocket liner (I'm no scientist, just my running theory) to the screen and thus, randomly unleashing all sorts of weird mayhem and shenanigans.
It's either that or gremlins.........
Happened again, check the recording
Probably just a harmless rootkit...
For whatever reason it's probably just the way that phone responds to some unknown numbers with no caller ID. I block unknown numbers, try that.
Freaky.
Can you block the call?
I don't call back unknown numbers.
Off topic -
Noticed that Samsung added a feature in Samsung Messaging that allows users to block e-mail messages.
its an Aliens
It is mostly likely a SPAM caller. There are automatic dialing apps that can either spoof a number, or completely hide the number, which makes it difficult to block.
I'm have Verizon and it has a Call Filter app. Check with your provider if it has a call filter app. You can also find third party call filtering apps.
Unfortunately, dealing with SPAM and scam calls is a game of Wack-a-mole.

It just dialed NN corresponding to 66 which triggered a USSD code.

Yeah...don't call those kinds of numbers back. If something like that comes up, or you get a blocked number. Let it go to voicemail. If they leave a voicemail, fine. If not, don't call it back.
It is possible someone was trying to run a Smishing scam on you. With the aim to hijack your SIM and take over your phone service account. Depending on your carrier, the USSD code could trigger your device to do something you don't want it to do.

I do it short and quick :
The mobile Phone number of your simcard
Has now call forwarding active to the Hackers Server (ussd MUST bei activated by the victim/target. Hacker need the victim to call a 10 Digits number that will Route to His Server)
Its a curently Well known Hack ... (Thus Person was smart enough to hide His 10 Digits number ... Well played good trap)
What the attacker wants... example :
Get into all your Accounts that are secured with YOUR PHONE NUMBER
...WhatsApp Google ... An E-Mail Account ? Etc etc
So...
I dont believe IT was random Attack.
Someone who know how or someone who ordered this
Knows you ... And need to dive into your privates
(thats childplay Hacking from YouTube nothing unknown or hard to do)
Good News : Sometimes ...someone Else is "the target" .... So the attacker needs informations Out of your device and apps....to get information about the Others real Targets Phone number ... in that Case your device/Accounts need to be Hacked or hooked or jacked ....
If your simcard is older than 5-8 years ...Hmmm
Maybe the simcard still use [email protected] browser. (A Browser placed inside your simcard)
Get rid of such a simcard too. Better Sirius lee
Change ur simcard Phone number for ur savety.
But
do it by EVEN changing the mobile Network Provider. (Best in Case If u have an old jackable simcard)
Sad fact : If the Hacker has enough informations from your simcard u need to Change the Provider. Because ... Your Provider maybe gives u a Brand new simcard ... With a new number that u ordered (the Service to Change Phone number to a new one) ... But ... The new number ist the only Thing what Changed all other leaked informations will stay the same as an act of keeping your customer number in the customer Care systems.
U need new customer number or Change the Provider + new number
My Tip: Use a Landphone number as a WhatsApp number ^^ need to recieve calls to activate the new WhatsApp Account so No Premium SMS Hack possible.... its More save
And ... U can start new the new start is : never leak ur simcards original mobile Phone number. Not in those days. Use the original simcard Phone number to Order pizza or a taxi. Give IT to No one and u dont need to Clean everything... Like u need to do NOW

Jupp thats so obvious ... The trap was better than call the target and please the Person to dial the number that activates the call forwarding Code that waits on a Server
Sim jacking needs the [email protected] Browser in the simcard. Needs to be an old one. Network Provider dont sell new regular simcards with the [email protected]
And dave wouldnt know that an invisible SMS with Codes reached his SMS Inbox :/
No need to call him in that case ... Just send the right prepared SMS and Game over
