Does anyone know of a prog to divert calls?
I do understand that you can set up one divert profile with the operator, but being awkward I would like to set up more than one.
Don't know if there is a utility out there to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

You mean as in to forward your calls? Go to Start>>Settings>>Phone>>Services Tab>>Click "Call Forwarding" then "Get Settings" Button and adjust from there.
EDIT: You want to be able to change this easily using "profiles"? A option would be to use a marcro recorder or a script editor and give each macro/script/profile its own icon, so that when you click it it does the above. I used the program MacroRecorder when I had a smarphone, it may work on our OS too, I'm not sure. You could also download MortScripts if you'd prefert to write a script.
Hi thank you for your input.
You have got the idea exactly, got a new car with a "stupid" car kit built in.
The car kit takes a sim card... never heard of bluetooth!!!!!
O2 say they don't (and never have) offered a "dual sim" option. I was hoping to switch the phone off when I got in the car.
So the next idea is to put a pay as you go sim in the car kit and diver all calls from the main number to the car kit.
I already have a divert set up when I cannot take a call, and being lazy I suppose would love a little utility that swaps the divert between the two numbers.
Probably not upto writing scripts or macro as i don't want to mess up my phone
But once again thank you for your help
Not a tool but....you may check out *# codes (aka "GSM codes"), compose the one you need and create a phonebook entry. To run the network service you may put this entry to a speed dial button and activate it manually when you enter the car. Means you run a call to this "number". That's how I forward all calls from my private phone to my company phone: in the morning: call **21*mynumber# and to switch forwarding off in the evening: call #21#. Works pretty good.

Cheers,

Thank you so much
PERFECT
You are welcome...
btw: you will most likely be charged for call forwarding between different providers. At least in Germany they do it.
The coolest thing for you would be T-Mobile-like "Multi-SIM". IMHO the best Multi-SIM implementation ever as you can leave both phones switched on and none of them is kicked out of the network. They just ring both and both present the same number to the far end.
It's a shame that O2 doesn't offer something like this...
Luckily O2 offer unlimited O2 to O2 calls so with luck the divert will be included.
The lady on customer support was quite useless (as per usual) didn't know if it was or wasn't
Can't use T-Mob no reception at home
Going to try and block/bar own number on the pay as you go sim so I can make outgoing calls without confusing people too much.
I blame you Germans - thought Porsche would have a bluetooth PCM - Land Rover have for about 3 years as standard!!! lol
Thank you again for all your help, hopefully a German car will be more reliable than a Land Rover
Porsche? Great! At least it will have better brakes than a Landy
There is also a program "PhoneAlarm" which can be used to divert calls. You can feed 4 or 5 numbers to which you would like your calls to be diverted. From the Today Screen Plug-In of phonealarm you just need to press and hold and you would be presented with a list of numbers to select the one you currently want the calls to be diverted to.

thanks so much. it worked on my diamond. Indian model.

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?
I have been looking for a way to be able to greatly reduce my cell phone bill. I did a search on Youtube and found this video which explains how to make pretty close to free calls anywhere in the world.

You put this device on your network at home and then you can call it with your mobile phone and it gives you a dial tone!!! It then proceeds to use VOIP or something to call whatever number you want. There is a small charge per minute like .02 cents in the USA. But the device costs $200!!! Has anyone had any experience with this or have another way to make calls for free.
Years ago, I used to have my analog cell phone call a certain number and it would call me back with a dial tone where i could dial out for cheap.
There has to be a way to call your computer and use your home phone to either call you back with a dial tone or do a three way call and conference you in to who you need to call.
I have Sprint, so, if I could say, have an automated text message i can send my computer which has the number i need to call. My computer would then call me back and wheni answer, it would conference me into the number i texted it
OR maybe i can call my computer and let it ring twice so my computer can recognize my caller id. Then i can hang up and wait for the Incoming phone call which then would let me dial any number needed. Maybe when i was finished with the first call and needed to make a new call, instead of doing the procedure again, i could hit the Pound# button and it would reset ready for me to dial again.
Sorry to rant, I guess i could have spent hours arranging my thoughts in a more precise manor... Any ideas peeps...... i hate sending Sprint $120 a month!!!!
Then make your own Wireless Phone Company, and stop complaining about the best carrier that has the most bang for your buck?
Cheapskates....
Call during nights and weekends, if you have a phone, you're going to have a bill. If you want to use the network/wifi phone, well it's a totally different plan. If it was that simple to make our phones do that, carriers wouldn't make their money.
Corrykid, I hope your Sprint stock options are doing well! Why dont you go flame the gps forums for trying to get GPS for free.... Aren't you the guy who showed everyone how to get unlimited laptop internet access? Why not pay Sprint for their WIFI adapter? CHEAPSKATE...
Ok, Check out this idea....
Scenario:
Assume the following:
Free calls to home mobile plan
VOIP home phone (Vonage free long distance unlimited calling)
Computer with modem
Application:
A person wants to call 404-555-3232
He would Call "home" number using mobile phone.
His Computer's Modem answers phone
He then enters 404-555-3232 on mobile
Computer "flashes the line" calls 404-555-3232 then flashes again to do a three way call
Result:
Person with free calls to home is not charged mobile minutes to call 404-555-3232
Problem:
How to get a modem to do this

I've got the Fuze and was interested in Visual Voicemail. I've used Youmail and get the sms and email, but I saw this post about visual voicemail on the G1. I looked and they also support windows mobile 5 and 6.
The 2nd link is the company's main page and looks like they offer pay services as well, but the free visual voicemail works as far as I have been able to tell in testing it. It has a separate .cab to install and then change the settings in your fuze for forwarding and the voicemails come up in the program in a list and can be played as mp3.
Only issue I have on this is that they play over the speaker. Plug in headphones and you get privacy, but when I'm on a plane or in an airport I'd rather just hit play and listen on the earpiece on the headset for privacy. If anyone has any suggestions on playing mp3's through media player over the built in headset I'd be interested in the suggestion. Otherwise, this does everything I've seen on the iphone.
You may want to install on your storage card, then your vmails are stored there as well so as to not take up internal storage.
damn doesn't work with rogers in canada, won't accept changes to the no answer call forwarding

I'm using YouMail right now, how does it compare to that? One feature I like about YouMail is that it will tell me the city, carrier and even the name of the person and/or business that called if available.
information
calirr,
on the app the comes up when you get a new vm, it has the date, time and how many seconds the message is, the caller id number and the number it was forwarded from (assuming this is so that you can identify if it was forwarded from cell or office or other?
You don't see the txt that comes in, this is the only information you get, so if carrier and city matter it may not be good for you. I travel and it's great to turn on the phone between flights and my vmails download, then when I'm on my next flight I can listen to them when I want.
So the free services you listed aren't actually visual voicemail, but simply mp3 conversion services?
tried this a while back with sprint. turns out they charge 20 cents a minute for forwarded calls.
With AT&T, it just deducts from your minutes.
plus yall get roll over minutes don't you? How much are you spending per month?
Check the information
1. not sure your definition of visual voicemail. If you're thinking transcribe to text, no it does not do this, and I don't want that because I haven't found a service that works well, and having an announcement telling someone calling me to speak clearly doesn't help.
This service puts your voicemail into an mp3, but it doesn't email it, there is a single app that comes up and they are listed in order with information and if you click it you can listen without being connected to the network. If that isn't visual voicemail then I completely didn't understand what the iphone is doing, because it looks like the same to me and that is called visual voicemail. (by the way, I only listed one service that I found, there are different sites with information about the free service and application, they just introduced an Android version as well)
2. I saw in the directions there is some more specific instructions on Sprint. If you forward a certain way there is a .20 charge, but if you follow their directions correctly there isn't this charge.
3. It looks like this service sends a txt msg to get information to the program, so you need txting and if you're limited this may not be good for you.
4. The time your caller is leaving a message it looks like it does go against your minutes.
Rogers CDMA?

Below in the FAQ is a question on Sprint, which is CDMA. It's saying you have to contact the CDMA carrier to have them change it on the network, and I beleive Rogers is still CDMA as well. May be worth a call to tech support and ask if you want an app like this, for me it's worth it. The 813 number is in Florida, and that's where your calls will be forwarded to, so make sure you can call there cheap.
When you call up Sprint, the first thing to do is ask for Tech Support right away. They are the only ones who can set up the correct forwarding - Customer Service can’t. Ask the Tech Support representative to change the "Call Forward/Busy" and "Call Forward/No Answer" fields (NOT Unconditional Call Forwarding) to the Fusion Voicemail Plus number - 813-200-0200. The Tech Support representative will authorize and activate the feature. There is no additional charge for this service, unlike regular unconditional call forwarding which charges $0.20 per usage.
no rogers is GSM
has anyone had a problem where when you install it never goes through setup. I had to resend the test message to myself and even then I just got that voicemail no others.

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
Hey all,
Sorry if posted in wrong section. Wasn't sure where's best. Please move or del if necessary.
I recently bought a FreedConn Bluetooth system for my helmet and it has a button on it that when held makes your paired phone dial the last number in your dial list.
This is pretty useless to me and I'd love to instead have it launch Voice Search so can easily send texts and make calls.
I googled a bit and found no way to adjust this on the device itself and looked at Tasker but don't believe it can do what I need.
I'm looking for a way to await the signal from the Freedconn and adjust what action it triggers. Or await an attempt to dial the last number dialed and launch a diff action.
Any advice on this is appreciated. Thank you.
I found a mini workaround having my own number as the last dialed and creating conditions (if calling myself w/ specific BT connected, hang up and run voice search) it works but hoping for a cleaner way. Any ideas?
