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.

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.
Hi All,
I installed Skype on my Sensation 4G (Android Rev HD ROM). Everything work great except the dialer. I cannot get Skype to integrate with the phone dialer. When I dial a number, the phone does not give me the option to choose the cell line or Skype. It automatically use the cell line. I did the same on my Motorola Triumph (Froyo) and it does give me the options to choose.
I go into "Settings-->Apps" and select the "Dialer" app but the "Clear Defaults" option is disabled. The "Phone" app also has the "Clear defaults" option disabled.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really hate the Skype dialer and would like to use the stock dialer.
Thanks.
Anyone?
If Skype works properly on your phone, please let me know also.
Thanks.
You have to use the Skype Dialer to call people in your skype contacts. There's no way around it.

I am not using Skype contacts at all.
I only use phone's contacts or I dial the number directly into phone dialer. I want to be able to choose Skype or cell line when I call a number (just like Google voice app and other voip apps out there).
Hello Everyone,
Since everyone is so hyped about the new Voice integration with hangouts and more specifically, we finally have the ability to make outgoing call without using 3rd party programs, still no MMS with the google voice number but the outgoing calling alone is awesome.
Anyway, since this is XDA and the new functionality gives XDA's plenty of money saving ideas I'm certain of that, here goes.
HANGOUTS & GOOGLE VOICE = 1.6 MB PER HOUR OF CALLING
DISCLAIMER
That is an amazingly low amount of data! I ran this test making a 3 minutes phone using my nexus 5 on LTE. It's by far not a scientific test but a very good estimate of how much data you can save making calls with GOOGLE VOICE THRU HANGOUTS. I'm sure you 30$ a month 5GB t-mobile people can put this to good use, I know I will! (Goodbye stupid deadzones in Brooklyn College ) Finally us Nexus 5 owners have a more legitimate way of making WiFi calls since T-mobile ditched us on that one. I'm plenty excited about all of this! What do you guys think? How will you be using the new outgoing calls feature?
LASTLY
The updated hangouts apk is below in case you didn't get the update yet like me. enjoy!
I am so anxious for this integration. I've already got the new apk and dialer installed, now I keep checking Hangouts for the popup to integrate SMS and voicemail from GV into hangouts. Wish there was a way to force it like the search for OK Google Everywhere.

Same, although my rom still has CM Voice+ and it's still handling the integration quite well. I currently use Groove Forwarder from the play store to switch my GV forwarding based on location. I'm very curious if it will still be functional once I'm integrated, as currently, I don't see any options in the new Hangouts app to determine what number rings. If it stays this way, I'll end up getting double rings (dialer & Hangouts) when someone calls my GV number.

I have the same double ring problem. I'd like to see an option to only accept/make Hangouts calls over wifi because I use Llama to disable the cell radio when on wifi at home (because the cell signal is very poor and it drains my battery very fast and also because I have a Ting "metered" plan and trying to keep usage as low as possible -- basically on cell only when away from home, wifi otherwise). I currently use the older version of GrooveIP, but was hoping to be able to move to Hangouts.

Me too, I keep thinking that maybe I did something wrong and I'm being left out, but Google's just rolling the server-side changes out slowly, I've read. Such anxiety
This actually works for every Android device that can use hangouts/google voice too. Right now I have it on my Galaxy Player, and it works great. I'm glad that Google finally integrated google voice, because it makes things a lot easier lol. I'm surprised that this isn't getting a lot of news.
We still need the GV app to send texts, right? Or am I missing something and it's possible to text using your GV number from the Hangouts app?

I'm checking on it right now, but it seems that you don't need the GV app anymore. You should be able to text using your GV number in hangouts. I'm setting mine up right now.
Here's the topic that google created to set up GV with Hangouts. I ran into a problem where I had to disconnect hangouts in gmail, and then reconnect it to see the Google Voice option in the settings.

Ah, thanks. They don't make it easy to find. Same deal with the Hangouts Dialer, jumping through many hoops to set it all up. I guess they don't want to piss off the carriers just yet.

By disconnect do you mean sign or and then sign back in?
OK, more help needed: how do I switch the number and SMS is sent from when starting a new conversation? I like the "smart reply" option, but sometimes I want to send from the GV number, other times from my cell number (in particular for MMS).

By disconnect I mean reverting back to the original chat in gmail, then going back to hangouts.

Nope also to answer your Google voice question further when trying to access or send message you get this screen. However, I had to unchecked merge messages to even get it to send with hangouts lol.

hangout issue
Hey has anyone had the issue where hangout calls connects, but you get can't hear anything. Basically only one end of the line gets sound for some reason. each time i had to hang up and try again.
I haven't on the 2 test calls I made. Any suspicions as to why its happening?
Whats your OS or ROM, Phone, Network, what was your coverage like. Wifi or mobile network.
The more info the better

Not working for me, still using cell minutes when making calls
?
Edit: I think I figured it out, if I use the phone dialer it asks if I want to use Google voice, it uses minutes, if I skip it and use the hangouts dialer no minutes. So do I need GV installed at all?
Don't need Voicemail on GV, I can use T-Mobile Visual Voicemail.
in order to receive wifi calls there is box to check in settings plus
in google voice settings [web page] I had to stop google from forwarding my google # to my phone [uncheck nexus 5]
this keeps google from forwarding the call twice and keeps the native dialer blocking the hangouts dialer
I'm on wifi 95% of the time so this should lower my $12 Ting bill to $9 on a normal month.

How is Ting. My friend recommended me to get it, but I don't know it I want that or Republic Wireless lo. Also did you figure out how to send SMS with Hangouts via Google Voice?
Theres actually a setting telling you to activate the sms thru hangouts.

With the recent release of the Hangouts Dialer, I finally decided to go all in with Google Voice for all my calls/texts.
I was successfully able to update my phone's settings so that any calls/texts coming in to my Google Voice number go into the new Hangouts Dialer app. However, if someone calls my regular T-Mobile number, the stock dialer is still used to receive the call. My question is, has anyone figured out how to use the Hangouts Dialer with their carrier phone number? And if you have figured this out, is it as simple as disabling the stock dialer to ensure it never intercepts any calls?
Removing the stock dialler will prevent the phone booting. I'm not sure at what point in the boot process package manager "freezes" apps but I would suggest disabling the dialer is a really bad idea.
As for the rest of your question, not sure.

Thanks for the heads up. After digging around, it looks like my best current solution is just to make sure everyone I stay in contact with uses my GV number instead. Any calls/texts coming in through my T-Mobile number will just continue to go through the stock dialer.

when I 1st installed the hangouts dialer I wanted the same, & wonder why the hangouts dialer code simply couldn't be baked into the native one (maybe in L?)
*BUT* I found in the mean time -
Its the stock phone dialer app.

even with gv, carrier number integration, why we (on sprint) get the double ringing on incoming calls, unless the sprint sim is removed, or cellular data is turned off..
look at what *com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel* is tied to..
I just switched from the Note 4 on Verizon to the Note 5 on T-mobile; New phone expected to arrive tomorrow.
One thing I saw mentioned here and there about the T-mobile Service is this "Advanced Messaging Service." There is limited information I could find, no real Videos demoing or discussing the feature, but a couple blog post here and there making mention of it.
Has anyone used this feature on the Note 5; If so, how does it function, does it function well, is there any lag between sending and receiving messages, does the Live Presence indication actually work ("Bob is typing" etc.) Any kind of information or feedback on this "Feature" would be appreciated.
Also what is your experience with the WiFi calling? Does it truly sound like HD Voice quality? Any issue switching for WiFi calling to 4G (walking out of the home does the call drop when switching to 4G coverage?)
Only thing I know about advanced messaging service is that you can send files to anyone with a newer samsung phone under 1GB if you register for the service, the T3 Note 4 has the same service. It would be good to send higher quality videos or files to another person

My experience with "Advanced Messaging" Has been terrible. Extreme lag when pulling up the keyboard and trying to type. Lag from when hit send to when message is sent.
It is so bad I will not use the stock messaging app. with advanced messaging turned on.
I can tell you that when the other party is typing you see three or 4 dots in motion - a bit like hangouts indicates the other person is typing.
I don't have any experience to date with WiFi calling.
Not sure if "advance messaging" and Samsung's "simple sharing" are the same, but I will vouch that simple sharing is a feature worth jumping to the note 5 from almost any phone! To be able to send files such as HQ video and photos seamlessly from an sms is crazy nice. If I'm not mistaken, tmobile's advance messaging does not allow large files. One new feature of it is allowing the sender to be notified in real time when the recipient opens or receives the sms successfully!

Where did you find the option to turn on "Advanced Messaging?"
Is it within the settings of the default samsung message app?
I haven't had any trouble with it. I personally like the baked in Video Calling though. The XXXXXXX is typing works perfect for me. No lag with the keyboard as mentioned above (we all use swiftkey though). Picture messaging is cool too. You see a blurred image coming through until it finishes downloading.
I've never gotten Advanced Messaging to work. Stock SMS apps would sometimes not receive group MMS so I have to use 3rd party app.
Wifi-Calling has been great. It works well with HD voice same quality as VoLTE on phones that support it.

If I remember correctly you don't have to do anything to turn advanced messaging on it's just part of the stock messaging app.
The key is in order for it to work you have to be messaging with another device that has advanced messaging as well.
