I currently have a Verizon Home Connect and I am switching to iwireless/t-mobile and the home connect is not compatible with the new service and I cannot find a similar unit that would work. Is there a something out there that will allow me to use a cell pone to work with my home phones answering machine? Apparently the link2cell home phone answering machines will not answer the cell phone and will only work with land lines.
Try dialing (*72) on the landline and then wait for a dial tone. Then type the 10 digit phone number. Then wait for a response or hit (#) and wait.

I want to connect my cell phone to my home phones answering machine. Not use a land line to access my voice mail as I do not have a land line.

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 recently bought a tablet and I want to be able to place calls through my phone by dialing on my tablet. I can access the dialer by creating a shortcut to the activity using ADW, but it says voice calling is not supported. I know cars can place calls remotely using their voice recognition, so it is definitely possible on the phone's end. Does anyone here know if there is a way to remotely trigger a phone call?
Good question, I have not seen away yet. I do know you can send text and check you Google voice mail through Google Voice...
Try Tablet Talk. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk

I've been a Tablet Talk fan but it requires that you be on same WiFi SSID or Bluetooth. The bluetooth is very portable, needs no data connection.
Talkatone https://play.google.com/store/search?q=talkatonetakes about 10 minutes to setup and works beautifully.
Cloud SMS is new and works wonderfully for text https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iZWNoYXJkLmNsb3Vkc21zIl0. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951631 I think with your phone on and connected to internet via DATA or WiFi, you can text with the tablet anywhere you can get an internet connection.
If you want to do some work and use true SIP dialing, I use this:
[Mod] Make/Receive Free Phone Calls! {V3} [Now Easier!] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823701
I am a customer of them, for my home phone, and I just found out they make an app. Not only for the android, but for ipad to as well.
Bit pricy, but I am already registerd with them for a two year contract for only $20.00..., all it offers is a either a "free" phone number or I can use the one I have setup for my home phone.
If this is not for you you can search for VOIP in the app market.

Would it be possible to somehow answer a call from a smartphone on a tablet?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I'm thinking of buying a Note 10.1 2014 Ed.
I want to be able to use the Note for a lot more than just a tablet (including a universal remote, xbox control, music station...) and I was wondering if it was possible to answer and hang up a phone call using it.
If you're not following well, lets say I get a phonecall on my S3, but it's at the other end of the room or downstairs or somewhere I couldn't get to in time to answer... could I use my tablet to answer it, talk to the person on the other end and then hang up at the end?
Perhaps using an App which would send all signals over wifi...

While I'm seeking an answer for my thread, what I'm trying to accomplish is almost the opposite of you. I'm trying to take my smartphone and make it appear as a tablet from AT&T's perspective so I don't have to pay the "phone" part of the plan.
What you're trying to accomplish is pretty easy with Google Voice combined with Talkatone or Groove IP.
1) Set up your Google Voice account with a phone number
2) Tell everyone you changed your number to the Google #.
3) In GVoice settings, set the forwarding to your carrier's number AND to your Google Chat account.
4) Install and sign into your TABLET using Talkatone or Groove IP (Do not install Talkatone or Groove IP on your phone - or else it might conflict on which device to send the call to).
When someone calls your GVoice number, your tablet and phone will both ring (starting with your tablet). You can choose which device to answer with. You can also make your home phone ring and your mom's phone ring all at the same time and answer with whatever you want with the proper forwarding numbers.
For me right now, my phone (not my tablet) is signed into my GVoice account using the Talkatone. When someone calls my GVoice #, my Talkatone responds first (either because data is more responsive or google decides to try data first) then my phone rings. This way I can choose to hang up my phone and answer using Talkatone to enable VOIP instead of using my minutes.

Hello all,
I have a Nexus 5 for about 7 months bought in the UK, width stock ROM and NO ROOT. The problem is that sometimes incoming calls go straight to voicemail (but with the phone On and with service showing on the status bar). I doubth that tis problem is from the network (it doesnt seem to happen in my wife's motorola moto G with the same network (giffgaff)). :crying:
Anybody with the same problem?
Can you please open the people app and select a contact using the colorful card on the left side of the screen, and from the popup, press the person icon on the far right. Then, press the menu button on the top right and see if "All calls to voicemail" is checked for the callers whose calls are going straight to voicemail.

My wife's Nexus 5 had all calls going directly to Voicemail. After trying the usual "fluff" I fixed it by switching preference from LTE to 3G. Weak LTE signals evidently made the network think she was unreachable. YMMMV
