Voice Mail App

My telco charges a flat fee every single time i access the voice mail. However I do not get charged for incoming calls.
Hence I am wondering is there a voice mail app that does the following. (Keep in mind that i have free incoming calls and also caller-id)
1) The app picks up the phone call after a pre-defined limit of time.
2) The app plays a recorded message e.g "I'm not here right now. Please leave a message)
3) After the pre-recorded message finishes, the app starts recording.
4) After the other person hangs up, the app stops recording and saves the file.
5) Later on, I can play back the recorded message directly on my phone w/o having to pay the flat fee for using my telco's voice mail service.
Is there such an app?
EDIT: So in a way the app will act more like an answering machine
Why not just Google voice
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
because it still requires data right? and also its currently available only in the US and im in australia.
+1 for this kinda app! This kinda app would be useful.

had it on nokia and it worked great.
Well, you can do that using Tasker.
But, Android security won't allow you to do no. 2
I tried that, to output audio to the "Call Stream", no joy.
Recording "Call Stream" is also restricted by the Android security.

We have the most advanced open source mobile operating system in the WORLD, and we can't do basic stuff like this ?! ?! WTF!

Yes. Android default might not allow it, but let's face it. Most of us on XDA run rooted android phones so wouldn't that allow us to do that?

There is an app that has the aforementioned functionality I think its called AirVoice (it requires root access). I tested it on my HTC Hero and it is able to pick up my phone automatically after the pre-defined time but then my phone reboots.
I have founf many apps that actually play their own voice messages how about allowing us to play our own. I`ve heard Motorola Milestone phones have more of a lockdown when it comes to recording calls

Do you mean that there is an app that automatically answer the phone call after X time, and plays a voice message? can you give me its name?
Threre is a program named call recorder free (by melon mobile) that can record a call from both sides. I don't see why nobody have ever implemented a voice mail program.
fact number 1 : there is a program that can record phone call from both sides.
fact number 2 : there are programs that can answer the phone automatically (with delay).
why isn't there a program that can act as a voice mail?
like it was said, Airvoice do it exectlly, but it is suitable for certain devices
is youmail not one of them? or does it use data also?

I was just going to mention Youmail. I used it for a while before deciding to go back to my carrier's voicemail. Once you set up your account on the site, you can use a preset greeting, or create your own. You can opt to recieve notification by email or text, and review voicemail from a desktop, or your phone by either calling in, or using the app. If you prefer visual voicemail, give it a try.
Voicemail using Tasker
I think all who have contributed to this thread might have a look at the following Tasker profile created by member CoolJoseph96

I was doing the same quest for a long time.. As mentioned before, Google Voice is not an option (I live in the Netherlands, no support), Youmail idem dito (at least in the Netherlands).
Finally, I have found the little-heard-about app InstaVoice, which suits me great; good, reliable visual voicemail coverage in the Netherlands (with a free fix number forward service), voicemail messages, nicely sorted through app/ mail. Maybe off-topic for what You are looking for, but maybe worth to have a look at.. Their country coverage keeps going constantly.

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

[Completed] why ZTE says active voice/data, but wont make calls/ texts, shows * & # on my outlog

why ZTE says active voice/data, but wont make calls/ texts, shows * & # on my outlog
The device is a ZTE N9130. Boost service says my account is low on funds and yet device status shows active voice and data. i cannot text or receive calls but can send emails via an sms boost mobile. On the outgoing call log it shows a series of # and * accompanied by numbers (codes) such as #740 and 253324# and a #72 in front of the phone number to my other cell, which is now only taking calls from certain numbers and sending an automated message that the cell is not in service to others. I have been unable to view my account online and get a prompt that says there have been too many log in attempts on the account even before I attempted to log in the first time. Can anybody please explain whats going on with this device?!? I suspect foul play is at hand by someone close to me but know I am not crazy for suspecting as such. Any information that can shed light on this issue is greatly appreciated!

[HELP NEEDED] Call Personal Prompts

Greetings everyone.
I've been googling for a problem I have and weirdly didn't find any answer, so I sincerely apologize for troubling you today.
I'm looking for any app or method to auto-play a voice message whenever I receive a call from a specific number.
(I work in a call center of sorts where I receive countless calls and have to introduce myself in a long and tedious introductory process, most of the times turns out the caller dialed the wrong extension and it's too much of a hassle for each and every call. Also, vocal chord polyps are a real nightmare)
I tried an app called MacroDroid and for some reason it wouldn't work most of the time, basically works once and stops afterwards. Got to set it up with the number I receive calls from and to play a pre-recorded voice note I made but it wouldn't repeat after the first time it works
Can anybody suggest any method to achieve what I need??

Log Call Records to Google Sheets - Android Phone

Hi,
I have a requirement to log all calls (incoming/outgoing/missed) including the duration into Google Sheets. I have tried IFTTT but it would stop working automatically and isn't logging all calls. Is there a way/app to do this? I do not need the audio logs just the numbers, type of call, time and duration.
I tried searching everywhere but couldn't find a decent answer. I'm ready to root my android device for this purpose. Any help would be awesome.
Regards.
BUMP! Any help?? Please.
