How to change incoming call timeout? - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

I have an XDA IIi with O2-UK. Don't like how it sends my callers to voicemail after approximately 3 rings.
Does anyone know how I can alter this setting please?

From what I can remember this is network controlled and not done via the phone. Try going through some of the menus in the voicemail setup, I know the SMS notification is there, so I think the number of rings is there as well.

Text message notification

I am notifications of my servers and switches sent to me via sms message. under sounds and notifications for a new text message i select the sound i want but the "repeat" box is greyed out. i would like to enable this since i may not hear the first sms alert (like when i am sleeping). under the event catagory of reminders i can select repeat but not under new text message. any ideas? is it a reg change i can make?
thanks!

I have the same request, looked around in the registry but can't find a setting for it. Can anyone suggest a solution?
I have the same role fella, the only way I found was through a piece of software called SPB Phone Suit, you can get it to repeat a sound every 5 mins, 10 mins whatever for missed/unread calls and SMS.

How to set different ringtones that a CALLER HEARS...

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!

Call settings for G1

Hello, I have a conflict where telemarketers call my number with ridiculous numbers with 3 or 4 digit numbers only showing up. Is there a way I can disable sound for when I get calls like this, or is there a way to just stop it altogether? Thanks in advance.

[Q]Low-profile Blacklist app

Hi. I'm looking for a way to reject some calls not like the typical blacklist applications in which I choose the number and every caller with those number receive a hang up call, but something to integrate in the Incoming call options. I want the caller to receive "the called number isn't in the covering area" or something like that - carrier message because I don't want him to know that I rejected his call, but there where some problems with the signal or the phone was off. Do you have any suggestions for something simillar? Thank you!

[Q] Send SMS upon Call being blocked

Phone: Nexus One
Carrier: ATT
OS: MIUI
So I have been able to find threads about sending SMS upon call hangups or missed calls, and threads about blocking calls. However I need the union of the two.
I want to send a text message whenever a call is blocked saying something like: "call rejected, reason:blacklist. Text me with your name so I can add you to contacts list." I know spammers will never do this, but I also dont want to send this text to my friends every time I miss a call.
So if anyone knows how to use the Tasker app well (maybe to compose an SMS whenever I get a call from someone not in contacts) or the DND settings on MIUI, you would be a true hero.
