I am VERY sorry if this has already been asked/answered. I did a search here, on Google and several other places and seem to keep getting similar topics but not the exact topic I need.
How do I set my tilt to play a different ringtone that the CALLER HEARS, not me.
For example, if John calls me, HE HEARS Ringtone A and if Mary calls me, SHE HEARS Ringtone B.
So, if I have someone from my business call me, they hear a conservative professional type ringing but if a friend of mine calls me, they hear something more progressive.
It doesn't matter to me what I HEAR... This is what I keep getting responses to in my searches.
Thanks,
M!

Ok.. you have to call your provider and ask for Caller Tones. You have to pay for that through your provider. I think it's pointless. Whenever I call someone and hear that I just hang up because I don't know whether it's a caller tone or some idiot who recorded his voicemail to a 2 minute Usher track. Traditional Ring is better I'd say.
I have an annoying collection agency calling me for something that is not mine and no matter how many times I tell them, they keep calling with an automated caller. I wanted to set the incoming call to play the "Disconnected phone #" tones that will make their system automatically remove me (kind of like a Tele-Zapper).
My provider is ATT...
Thanks!

But that's an awesome idea, actually. However, I'd find some trashy movie where someone swears like there's no tommorow and play that to them. haha.

I have no insight into the internals of PSTN networks and automated callers (thank god we don't have this nuisance in Europe), but isn't this kind information transfered "out of band" (i.e. outside the sound)? I don't think that machines do a sound frequency recoginition in order to detect the call state - hell, we're in the digital age!

you press some number to remove you on their list when they prompt you
diskwzrd, if you have t-mobile they have a service for this.
You could set your voicemail to a service like youmail.com. They allow you to set your greeting per caller or group of callers including unknown/blocked numbers.

The SS7 network does pass certain calling information out-of-band however it triggers the calling switch to play the proper intercept message. In some instances where the calling & dialed switches cannot establish an SS7 connection then the intercept message is played by the dialed switch, etc, etc. So the actual message is played in-band... the caller does need to hear the message after all. And some auto-dialers do implement some sort of removal procedure if a dialed number results in an intercept message. So it would work in theory, similar to the Telezapper devices... however it would not be 100% effective because not every business cares enough to follow thru on issues such as that.
Answer tones
I tried the answer tones on mine. Verfied I could and after playing all day I looked up on answer tones and the 8525 is supported and not the 8925. So I lost out of my answer tones.
I use Youmail. Like it much better.
I highly recommend using www.youmail.com
I can import my contact list to the website. I can personalize responses to each person in my contact list. I can use the existing service that says, " Hello, (caller name). ______ (my name) is not available right now, please leave a message."
I can select pre recorded messages ( or purchase them). My son gets a theme song to Indiana Jones. They also have holiday specific messages.
Plus I can read or listen to my voicemail via the computer via a web application.
Great service!

Dev Friends,
Just recently I signed up with the Answer Tones through AT&T which I think is very cool then the lame ole ring-ring you hear all the time!
So I decided to change my personalized voice message. I used text to speech with music in the background. Mixed it down to a .wav file and would to use this as my personalized message.
Anyone know how this can be through AT&T? Only way I know how is to hold the mic up to the spearker and play the .wav file.. Kinda of lame and qty is bad....
Ideas anyone?

try useing youmail.com thats what i use...
would it be possible to create a audio recording computer based using soundforge, acid pro to .wmv or .mp3 and upload it to this service?
i am not interested recording a voicemail thru the phone receiver.
pls advise.
tvos
There is no way to upload your own stuff/files to ATT. The only way is to add it via the phones mouthpiece.
thanx for the info. i looked on the site and appeared that way, but
thought i would ask.

Say somebody calls you on your phone. This is what they will heard.
"Hello (person calling names) (Your Name) can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message.

What I like about YouMail is that you can set custom VM messages for specific callers. I also have it set so people calling with a caller ID block get a message stating that I do not accept blocked calls. The voicemail can also be delivered to your email inbox, and in the case of work if someone leaves you a message on a project that someone else is handling you can just forward the email (and the message) to the right person. The only thing that bothers me is that I haven't figured out how to make the VM indicator work with YouMail (This may not even be possible, but I still try)

Hi all..
Is there any way i can make my Diamond read out the caller's name whenever the phone rings.. as in the N series (Nokia) phones.. This feature is very handy, that i dont need to go to the table to see who's calling...
It already does that automatically. If you have the programmed the number in your contacts list, it will automatically search the name corresponding with the caller's nr.
Or, did you mean something else?
Speaker is not that loud on Jewel.
But I would definitely be interested in this.
I think 'Voice Command' does it!
Do a search ...
Dear Akito, i mean My Nokia N73 (All N series) reads the name in between playing the ringtone... That is ---Ringtone--Name---Ringtone---Name--, so i can here the name of person calling me from far off the room.. and that's an in built feature of N series not a third party software..
You could do this manually, I have a lot of peoples voices as my ringtones. I simply make them say something, and record it. Then I associate the recording with the corresp. person, so I always know who's calling, if it's someone from my contacts, even before I get my phone out of my pocket... Besides it's a lot of fun, some of my "ringtones" are hilarious
Dear Flipside your idea is good, but not functional, i mean i have over 670 contacts, i can't keep manually making a ringtone for each!!! My Nokia N73 reads any new name added to the adress book..!!
anyway thanks for the idea, i can do that for my close contacts
Yeah, I'm a big fan of this feature on my N73 (although Bulgarian names often don't sound quite right ). Especially when listening to music thru stereo headset or driving car with bluetooth handsfree (which is most of the time for me) and your phone is not that easy to reach in your pocket.
Can somebody confirm is there any 3rd party app that does that?
Generally that`s not an N73 feature but a Symbian feature ... so any Symbian phone of 60v3 at least can do that. It did my N80 and N6120 as well ... and I would be happy if Diamond has this feature.
So finally as yet no solutions to this?????

Yea and it can even read out your text messages
Yes MS Voice Command does this:
Spoken caller ID. Windows Mobile smartphone users can take full advantage of incoming caller ID without ever looking down at the screen. Incoming call information is announced as calls are received. Users who think they may have missed a call can simply ask, "What calls did I miss?" and Voice Command will recite the time and phone number of missed calls. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/voice-command-features.mspx)
Good luck
Does anyone know of an application for the diamond that will say the callers name during the ringtone like what is available on the Nokia N-Series?
Thanks
D
bump bump !!!
I think MS Voice command does it....
I'm not using it... but do a search and you will find more info about it...
That would be a cool app to have, my mates have N95 and they think they are so great... I would love that app to piss them off to show them my jewel is much better (which is is anyway)
Yeh .. Its really useful app I've been using it for a while on my Nokia and I really miss it. Imagine when you mobile rings while you are asleep... you dont need to move nor open your eyes to know the caller
Yes I agreeeee.
And making a recording for every single contact is a hasssllleeee.
from MS Voice Commander's features...

Thanks for the finds HollerID seems to be floored as it only supports downloaded soundfiles for a first name i.e. Paul. from their subcribed service. so managing would become a pain [IMHO].
Voice Commander sounds like it could be the answer but I can see this using alot of memory for what is quite a small task.
MS Voice Command does it....and I am trying to turn it off!
It is annoying when the woman calls out the name when on call waiting. Her voice is so damned loud that it drowns out the conversation I am having. i simply CANNOT continue the conversation if I have a call waiting....also, I like my privacy at times and may not want the people around me to know who is calling. MS Voice command has zero options to configure any of this.
Having said that, it works VERY well for voice commands with zero teaching/learning. If you want someone to tell you who is calling, this will do it too.... if you know how to shut her up and just LISTEN for my commands, please PM me! I would love to know how! Some things should only speak when spoken to.....

I am also annoyed by the incoming call announcement DURING a call also. Have you found out a way to shut it off DURING a call?
I've been getting spam calls from a certain number. They're pretty annoying. I added the number to my contacts and set it to "always go to voicemail" so that the phone doesn't even ring, but then I still get a missed call message and a voicemail with half of the spam recording. I'd like to avoid that.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to write an app to intercept an incoming call, check the number and if it matches, simply drop/end the call. I think the caller ID whitepages apps intercept an incoming call and look up the number so it must be possible.
I'm actually a pretty experienced Java programmer and have been looking for a cool android app to write, so I'd be happy to give this a shot. Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction of an API and the right magic for the intent filters in the manifest to allow me to grab an incoming call. If I can get a hint in that direction, I think I can probably write the app.
I'd like it to be able to take a list of numbers or a wildcard pattern and either drop the call, forward the call to a specific number, etc. Just not sure what is actually possible to do programmatically. Can anyone familiar with the inner workings of android tell me what is even possible in this regard?
Thanks
You would need an app to answer the call then disconnect.
Drop/Reject call will go to whatever programmed divert is on your acct (voicemail)
I have an app for you, hell you dont even have to download it or install it.. its called the answer and end call button, for the sake of assuming people have below standard intelligence i will include a guide

Your profile doesn't show your area so I don't know if this is possible or not, but is there no do-not-call-list in your area? If there is, you might want to add your number.

Have you tried afirewall free off the android Market?
I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it might be easier just to report the spamming number to your provider's nuisance calls department as harassment (assuming you've asked them to stop calling or are on a no-call list).
If in the UK your provider should pursue the matter. I've reported a large number of persistent marketing / spam callers / texters over the years and had several companies shut down and fined (1 to the tune of £50k for repeatedly texting me).
If we were all to do this all the time, eventually the bottom would drop out of the market.

Yes, I called T-Mobile. The rep told me that there isn't anything I can do because the number isn't a proper 10 digit number, so they can't block it. I also reported it to the state (Massachusetts) and federal do-not-call sites but again got replies that there was nothing they could do to track down the caller without a valid phone number or correct company name.
Thanks for the tips -- I'll try afirewall or callwall!

that's a pretty dumb response. If someone is calling you 15 or 20 times consecutively, you don't want to have to answer/end a call every single time. An app would totally make life easier, and will probably try CallWall as well.
answer it, talk to them and request to be taken off of the call list, they legally have to do it and they will never call again, if its automated call the number back and request the same.
There are apps in Google Play
There're lots of apps solve the problem now.
Such as WhosCall, Mr Number, Call Blocker and so on. You can go to Google Play and download it, hope it is helpful for you.
Kinda short notice, and who better to ask than the fellas/gals around here...
Need an answering machine (not a phone in one) that has these capabilities:
1. Multiple mailboxes
2. Multiple Outgoing messages
3. Ability for the caller to choose which outgoing message they want to hear
example: Joe Schmoe calls, answering machine picks up, and then is given the option to press *2 to listen to outgoing message 2 and/or *3 to listen to outgoing message 3...and then leave a message on the box that corresponds to the message they just heard.
Very important that the outgoing messages be able to be personally recorded, and not just some 'mailbox 2, record now' message.
Thank you!!!

You should really google this, or find some business software if your serious about this.
I have, and there are many many many options with many many many people giving odd reviews...I was wondering if someone out there actually had one, and would personally recommend it...
Try looking for a business forum. Then ask that there, on here you wont get much attention because we don't deal with that kind of stuff.
