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
Hi everyone,
First of all I am a new comer in the world of android and new to this forum. So I need guidance from experienced people like you guys.
I was trying to make an Auto Answering Machine in android. When there is an incoming call, the application should receive it and play an welcome message to the caller. I know its not possible to play the audio message in call stream. So my idea was to play the audio in loudspeaker, thinking that it'll be picked up by the microphone and the caller will hear it.
The problem is the microphone doesn't pick the sound from the speaker whereas at the same time it picks all other sounds from other sources. Hence the caller can't hear the welcome message. I didn't know what was the reason and after lot of searching I found out that it was due to "Echo cancellation" technique used in telephony, which is used to remove similar patterns. For example, when the receiver intentionally want to speak in loudspeaker, the speaker voice should not get propagated to the caller. Hence the technique of "Echo Cancellation" is used.
So my question is, is there any way I can overcome my situation? Can I stop the echo cancellation or any other techniques? I would really appreciate any kind of help.
I have the same problem
Hello,
During the last days I got a lot of so called "ping calls".
Someone is calling from abroad, let the phone ring just a very short time, hoping I call back the expensive number he submitted.
This is really arguing and disturbing.
Now I am looking for an app (android), that answers the call (from a pre selected area code) immediately, without activating the mic. Maybe playing a funny MP3...
Of course it should mute the ringing.
Thank you for your help and ideas.

They have fake number apps on the app store, they call via wifi and when you call them, you can play your silly music.
I don't want to call them. I want to answer their call, because this would cost them money.
