Show where the caller is calling from? - General Questions and Answers

I had a LG voyager through verizon wireless and before i got rid of it.. It would tell me where the caller was calling from.. Thought that was neat.. I have the samsung omnia and trying to do the something. Something similar to this site
Link here If anyone could lean me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This may be what you are looking for as it provides the details you seem to be after. Only catch ... I'm not sure if it will be compatible with your device.

How do I add a Call History / Missed Calls plugin or item to Today, w/out TouchFlo3D

I've disabled TouchFlo 3D because it was slowing down my HTC Fuze (aka the Touch Pro's ugly stepsister). But I miss the Call History / Missed Calls line on the Home / Today screen. It would show "No missed calls" or "Missed calls: 1 ..." etc.
I've looked in Settings >> Personal >> Today >> Items but can't find anything that will display it. I seem to remember seeing a "Phone" item in there at one time, but don't have it anymore.
I've tried O2 Plus, but that just shows the last call made/received. And I see there are some programs out there that cost $$, but I'm looking for a free solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've searched these forums and Google for an hour and can't find an answer -- maybe I'm just looking for the wrong thing??).

Have you tried SPB phone suite? It should give you what your looking for.

Sorry.....I seem to have overlooked the 'free solution part'....my bad. I think I remember seeing a freeware application that did stuff like this too. I'm looking for it. If I find it.....I'll let you know.
SPB
I looked at SPB Phone Suite but it provides way too much functionality... even when customized down to bare bones.
I'm looking into coding a custom solution myself... but it seems like a simple, free plug-in should be out there somewhere! Something like "Missed Calls: 2 - Voicemails: 1" would be really nice.
Well if anyone finds anything please feel free to let us know!!
EDIT: I looked at SPB Pocket Plus... not Phone Suite. Phone Suite looks pretty good... but again... I'd rather not pay for the simple functionality I'm looking for only to get more than I need or want!

Tellme for wm6.5

hi,
just saw this software that will be available for wm6.5.
its a voice activating software (sent texts, make calls etc with voice commands)

i think its a sub company of microsoft making it.
it says its going to be available through wm marketplace for wm6.5 phones, but cant see why it wont run on other wm OS's.
anyone got a beta of the software? or any other info
Nice site.. Lets wait and see how nice the program would be..

you can search the net for items and places with a voice command (eg. starbucks or ipod etc)
u can also write texts and send them using your voice.
i think it is the evolution if the ms voice command software (microsoft trying to interwine software together and changing the name so that it seems like something fresh and new).

Read the link it does all that and more.
Are MS ever going to release this then?
TellMe was (I believe) a separate company working on this snazzy voice control software, and I believe MS snatched them up to use as a replacement for MSVC going forward.
"Tellme" is certainly a snappier name than "Microsoft Voice Command." It actually looks like Tellme combines MSVC with the voice controls of the Bing app. I wonder how much overlap there will be.
Tell Me is part of the Samsung Intrepid WM 6.5 ROM. Would be great to be able to install that on my phone. Anyone up for the challenge?
hmmm would really like to install this... any1 with an interprid that would let someone here get the app. dont kno how its done but im sure the smart guys here do

Ditto.
Would love to get my hands on that cab.
TellMe
Tellme's primary business is in enterprise IVR systems and Voice enabled CRM and such. The TellMe Mobile apps including the WN6.5 client and the BB client as well at the 555-tell all agregate the voice samples collected during use to make the voice recognition part of their software more acurate and reduce the need for programming.
Seems pretty ingenious and gives Tellme a huge chance to be a great voice app unlike some apps that leave me screaming at my phone like some crazed person. While it again dials some completely random number from my phone book.
I hope that this exclusivity for the intrepid is short lived.

Dont I wish....so for just reading the site abunch goping for someone with access to the right phone.
on a seperate note all these exlusive deals tick me off. They should just post the app in marketplace and be done with it.
All we need is a ROM dump from the interpid, and we should be able to pull it out and create a cab. However, the phone isn't available yet so we will have to wait a bit longer.
Someone with a Samsung Intrepid needs to port it for us.
yes please
You can get it now, well according to their site, however Im in the uk and thus I dont think i will work for me!....
http://www.tellme.com/you/get
How frickin' insulting!!! Right now, on AT&T, T-Mobile & Verizon it's only available on Blackberry devices! And on Sprint, it's all Blackberry except for one WM device - the Intrepid!
WTF, Microsoft?!
Package here.It doesn't understand a touch screen, but it seems to work.
Hey guys, since I'm such a 1337 H4x0r I managed reverse engineer the installer from PPCGeeks to find out where the installer got the .cab from. Well, it paid off and I found the .cab straight from the site, and you can download it from: http://m.tellme.com/windows_mobile/TellmeSamsungIntrepid3515.cab. It still doesn't work on my Rhodium, but I figured I'd post this anyway, so you don't have to go to download from PPCGeeks or if you wanted a .cab file instead of the installer.

Why no answering machine for wm ???

Hi,
I am wondering why there ain't any working answering machine's for wm yet ? iSecretary was one which I guess is not working in wm6.5. Does anyone else know more about it ? I understand it might be duplicate thread, but since there's no latest posts on any of them I opened up new one hopping to catch eyes of u ppl....
Actually, there is an answering machine. Its awesome too. I got it free from my carrier. If I don't answer my phone after like 4 rings, it picks up and takes a message for me. Then, after it beeps and lets me know theres a message, I push a few buttons and a can listen to them. Then I can delete them, and start all over!
I can't seem to remember what its called though. Hmm....
Maybe someone else can help me with figuring out the name of this?
Wow, never thought about this, this would be really nice. It would be a good way to get voice mails recorded since it would be locally stored and not server stored like voice mail. I'd really like to know if their is one in circulation.
Edit: Apparently it's impossible due to hardware limitations of HTC phones, and seems Gigabyte's phone is the only one that can do it. More information here.
guess the reason for lack of more options is that most operators today offer answering machine at the operator end so it works even if the phone is off
like I mentioned already iSecretary worked fine until wm6.5 even in HTC. I used it in my HTC Fuze with wm 6.1. But it doesn't work in wm6.5. I don't know why. My operator doesn't give such voice message service for free. I am searching for a software like iSecretary that works with wm6.5.
seems nobody is interested in my post ???
Use google voice then, it's free and works when your phone is off. Since your provider doesn't give you voicemail, you should be able to use GV as your voicemail provider - heck, Sprint gives me voicemail for free, but I still have GV setup as my primary voicemail. For free, Sprint has a deal with Google.
you could try YouMail.com, i have it and its free for the basic service which is voicemail. you can customize the voicemail greeting also, its great, i get a laugh everytime....
both YouMail.com and Google Voice doesn't support my country yet. Is there any software that works like answering machine ?

Ah... yea I guess I take for granted the fact that all these new services seem to always get piloted in the US of A. Sorry... I don't know of anything else :S
Doesn't anybody give interest to make an answering machine like iSecretary ?
I too would like an answer-phone software & I'm surprised HTC never made the most of this issue & resolved the hardware problems & bundled an answer-phone software of it's own.
G-Smart done it back in WM5 times & it was a good tool & marketing niche.

Visual Voicemail for Touch Pro 2 (Sprint)

Hi,
Is there a program for visual voicemail for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2?
i dont know if you ever found anything but im still looking
Visual Voicemail HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint)
Just so everyone knows (since I just went through the same thing) you CAN get visual voicemail on a phone with Windows OS. I use PhoneFusion. All you have to do is download it from the Windows Market or find it online. Also I recommend going to their website and signing up before you download it since Windows Market doesn't really give you accurate instructions. I wanted to enter the link to the PhoneFusion website but it wouldn't let me since I'm new so here's the best I could do guys (Sorry):
http(colon)//www(dot)fusionvoicemailplus(dot)com/marketing/default(dot)htm
Its simple and its FREE! I have read on a couple of boards that Sprint charges you to have your calls forwarded but here are the facts:
According to a Sprint Rep with Tier 2 Tech Support (a super nice guy named Kevin) since you are using "Conditional" forwarding there is NO CHARGE! Sprint WILL charge $0.20 per call on "Unconditional" forwarding but this is NOT what you will be using! The "Conditional" forwarding only applies to "Busy" or "No Answer" forwarding which is exactly what you'll be doing.
All you have to do is set up a FREE account with PhoneFusion, download the app and then call Sprint Tech Support and ask them to change the number for your voicemail. You will be given a number by PhoneFusion to use. It will be "813-200-0200". This is the same number for all PhoneFusion users. I was skeptical at first about doing this but I'm really glad I did. It was very simple to do and the Sprint Rep I got (Kevin) not only completed the process quickly he even called my cell and left a voicemail to verify it was working. Easy as pie and worked PERFECTLY!
I'm so glad to have visual voicemail back after losing my precious Android Market. I've never posted on a board before but I really wanted to make this easy for other people in the same situation and to let anyone worried about it know that calling Sprint and changing your voicemail number is safe and easy. Good luck all!

[Resolved] [Q] VOIP integration into contact application (like on Symbian devices)

Hey folks!
Used to have a nokie E90 which was a really great device and i still miss (should not have thrown it against the wall)
One of the freatures really miss, was the SIP/VOIP integration. it was possible to add in the settings the SIP/VOIP details and when you make a call you had the possibility to choose between "video call(over 3g network)" "Voice Call" and "internet call"
When i selected internet call, it automatically signed me on SIP/VOIP and started the call.
Now i am on a HD2 Leo and i need to call to other countries a lot, thats why i need to use VOIP. I googled my a** off to finde some "nice!" integration. i ended up with PORT GO and it is amazing, but still not what i am looking for
My question now is. is it possible to add a "section" to the HD2 HTC contact application such as "Call via SIP/VOIP" ?? and then it starts Port go with a command line, signs on and dials??
im in general very good with computers, but i never had studied how to programm so any help is appreciated!
Thank you very much guys!
To all who look for something similar, here you can find a good solution for your HD2
