Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / August 2005Organize incomming calls
Hi, I would like to know if someone has ever heart of the following on a mobile phone. I would like to have the possibility to organize incomming calls on my phone. For example 1. If dick calls me, he will get a voicemail 2. If Clark calls me my phone will ring (and I know clark is calling me) 3. If Chris calls me, he will get a message that I am not able to pick up the phone and he can not speak in a voicemail. Technically this should be possible, but every store in town (The Netherlands) think this is brilliant, but nobody knows of an phone that has this option. Who knows a phone that can do this? Rsnel > I would like to know if someone has ever heart of the > following on a mobile phone. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Who knows a phone that can do this? Your examples 1. and 3. rely on an active call diversion. While call diversions can be set from phones, they are actually implemented by the network itself. The settings are not stored on the phone or SIM. Try to change a diversion while you're out of a coverage area - you can't. The functionality you require is therefore not going to be available on any phone unless supported by the network. The bad news is that this level of control is well outside present GSM specifications. Only 4 types of diversion are specified: 1) busy 2) not answered 3) not available (switched off or doesn't respond to paging) 4) all calls These are separately configurable (where applicable) for voice, data and fax calls.

Adding to my previous reply, this one could be implemented on a phone itself, with a list of numbers to be handled in this way. The caller's bill would indicate that your phone answered the call.

I remember (at least I think I do) seeing a software package that could do something like that for Symbian OS phones.  SignatureDo you like me for my brain, or my baud? > I remember (at least I think I do) seeing a software package > that could do something like that for Symbian OS phones. You're quite right about the possibilities. An "answering machine" (as distinct from true voicemail) could be built in to a phone, and even have different greetings and/or behaviour for different groups of callers. But because diversions are network-controlled, only one divert-to number could be used. Technically, a phone could be programmed to trigger that diversion (rejecting the call) for all callers from a list. Of course GSM phones generally allow you to reject individual calls (triggering the diversion if configured) by pushing the "hangup" key before answering an incoming call. John |
