When I had a Sprint Mogul Bank of America alerts would come in the form of a text message. Bank of America's site requires a format of [email protected] for the text to be sent. With Sprint it was [email protected].
Anyone know what to enter for this to work with AT&T?

Q. What are Text Alerts? (http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq-text-messaging.jsp 2/3rds down the page)
A. Text Alerts are personalized notifications sent directly to your phone, at times scheduled by you. Manage your day and plan weekends by keeping up-to-date on local weather, headlines, sports scores, personal appointments, and so much more.
Q. How can I set up Text Alerts?
A. You first need to register at Text Alerts. Once you are registered, select My Info. Then select Alerts in the content category box. You will be prompted to choose the time of day, the day of the week, and other relevant details about each alert. Select Save Alert to complete the setup of your alert.
Q. Where can I find the authorization code that is sent to my wireless device when I register?
A. It will appear as a text message on the screen of your wireless device in your message inbox in just a few seconds. Refer to your wireless device's user guide if you have questions on how to read text messages.
Q. If I have my phone turned off or I am on a call, will I still receive my alerts and text messages?
A. The message will appear if you power on within a 24-hour period. If you are on a call, you will continue to receive text messages and alerts, which will not interrupt your call. To ensure that you receive up-to-date information, alerts that are more than 24 hours old will not be sent to your phone.
Q. How many alerts can I store on my wireless device at one time?
A. Memory varies per wireless device—refer to your user manual for details. The number of messages that can be stored is determined by the amount of storage available on your wireless device.
Q. How long can I store my alerts after I have received them?
A. You may store alerts for as long as you wish. (Most devices have limits to storage capabilities and will require deletion of old alerts to allow for new alerts.)
Q. Can I modify an alert?
A. Yes, you can log into MEdia Net™ and delete any of your alerts, as well as temporarily turn them on or off.

Is there any direct (or convoluted) way to reject an incoming call, i.e. send it directly to voicemail. Meaning
(a) if a call is coming in and matches certain criteria
(b) send the call to VM, and stop the ringing. (programmatically)
I've got (a) under control but I dont know how to do (b).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jay
Well I know in the phonebook settings there is an option to send directly to voicemail for that particular number but that would require you saving the number in your phone book.

I have Telemarketer1 - 7 right now in my phone book and they all go straight to voicemail with that option. Now if there was some way to block "UNKOWN"!
We need a Call Firewall / Blocker Software which can do following.
Register for Intent which can hook Incomming Call events
When Intent is raised if Checks for the number across Predefined Rules in Priority Order if any Rule matched take Action like
Reject Call
Accept and Immediately Reject THIS WILL COST CALLER
Send to Voice Mail
Reject and Reply with SMS
Reject and Create Reminder for Predefined Minutes to Remind us to Call them Back
+1
great idea
Try Youmail (it works for all phones)
There is a program for WM called Mobion MagiCall that would do everything that everyone wants on android but who can port it...
Back to my question...
Folks
I love the lively chit chat but does anyone have an answer to my original question: how do I reject a call programmatically and on the fly (not through phonebook entries set up ahead of time)?
BTW I will have an app available next week on Android Market that allows you to respond to incoming calls with an "I'll call you back asap" text or email, and it will set a reminder for you to call the caller back.

I was going to kill myself after severe 24 hours of investigating and discovering... But I've found "fresh" solution!
// "cheat" with Java reflection to gain access to TelephonyManager's ITelephony getter
Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
m.setAccessible(true);
telephonyService = (ITelephony)m.invoke(tm);
all all all of hundreds of people who wants to develop their call-control software visit this start point
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?...:http://mylockforandroid\.googlecode\.com&d=0
there is a project. and there are important comments (and credits)
briefly: copy aidl file, add permissions to manifest, copy-paste source for telephony management )))
Some more info for you. AT commands you can send only if you are rooted. Than you can kill system process and send commands but you will need a reboot to allow your phone to receive and send calls =)))
I'm very hapy =) Now my Shake2MuteCall will get an update !
I use tcallblocking lite (search the market for it) to block calls from unknown numbers and any rom with the hacked phone.apk in it allows you to add numbers to a blacklist. No need for additional entries in your contact list
Moved as not Android Development.
I tried Call Firewallv1.40 freeware. It seems to be working at blocking unwanted private calls. I found it here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-firewall-v1-4.html. The price is certainly good.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
TMOBILE quote
"Alerts are text messages that contain only the e-mail header information. Each alert is billed as a text message.
If your phone has the My E-mail Triggers feature, you can set up the alerts to silently trigger the retrieval of new e-mail messages into your phone's e-mail Inbox. You will not be charged for these "Trigger Alerts" and they will not appear in your SMS Inbox. Click here to see a list of phones that have the My E-mail Triggers feature."
In the list of phones the MDA is listed which I believe is the 8525. Is there anyway to make my tilt compatible? I have searched here for hours so don't tell me to search please. I am currently running PDACornerUltimate V18 ROM.
Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?
I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.
i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.
where can i download? please?
I decided to start developing my own version..
^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.
Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..
Yes!
Joey3002 Please post it when completed. I cant find the other app anywhere. If you take paypal donations, I will send some $ after you post it. Thank You!
You'd think it'd be in the settings somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be. How do I stop my phone from telling the sender of a message when a message has been received by my phone?
Anyone... ?
Go to messages, then options, click on sms/mms thingy, and there you can turn it off/on
what you are asking is not possible. The notification of the message delivery is not carried out by your phone to able to intercept the settings and change them.
The notification is being sent my your operator's messaging gateway server which sits in between your phone and the person sending you the text message.
Once the server pushes the message to your mobile phone, it automatically notifies the sender if they have specified it.

This is true. The server knows when you're receiving it, it's not just broadcasted for anyone to grab it
Disclaimer: This may not be the right section for this thread but I didn't know where else to put it. And since I verified this setup on a Nexus 5, I figured this is the best bet.
I stayed in the US for a few years and have an active Google Voice number that my friends in the US call to contact me. Thus, I needed a free method to forward those calls to Canada.
Yes, There are a few of 3rd party apps like GrooveIP that not only let you receive calls but also make calls over data. However, I don't like 3rd party app notifications in my status bar constantly and needed a free solution that would work.
My solution however, only uses the default phone dialer app to receive forwarded calls over SIP.
Step 1
Get yourself a Google Voice number. There are many guides on the internet on how to achieve this via the use of proxies/vpn services.
Step 2
Create a free Sip2Sip account here: https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Once you receive the confirmation email, Login and go to the ‘Settings’ panel.
Uncheck Reject Anonymous, change the no answer timeout to 60 seconds and uncheck Voicemail Enable. Then click Save at the bottom.
Then click on the ‘Identity’ panel and leave that page open.
Step 3
Open a new browser tab and signup for an IPKall account here: http://phone.ipkall.com/
All the information to be filled out will be available on the ‘Identity’ panel on sip2sip.
Where it says SIP URI Username, enter your username from the account you created on Sip2Sip.
Enter sip2sip.info in the Domain field.
Choose any password and complete the signup.
Wait for IPKall to email you your new number and account info.
Step 4
Go to Google Voice Settings and click to Add a new number.
Choose a name for this number, I named it ‘Ipkall’ to make it easier to recognize. And type in the phone number that Ipkall emailed you. then click save.
More than likely, the IPKall number assigned to you may have already been used earlier by another Google Voice user. It’ll ask you to reclaim that number by verifying it. That’s okay, we’ll get to that in a bit.
Step 5
On your android device, open the Phone dialer and go to settings. Then open ‘Call Settings’.
Scroll all the way down to Internet Call Settings and click on Accounts. Make sure that there is a check mark next to Receive incoming calls. Then click on Add account on the bottom.
Enter your sip2sip username and password in the respective fields. In the server field, enter sip2sip.info. Then uncheck set as primary account and click on Optional Settings. Under outbound proxy address, enter proxy.sipthor.net
Then click save and wait for it to register. Once done it should say Receiving Call under “[email protected]”.
That’s it, go back to Google Voice settings and reclaim the IPkall number assigned to you. If you didn’t have this issue then you are already set to go.
Place a few test calls to your Google Voice Number and check to see if they’re being forwarded to your Phone over SIP.
BONUS: You can also use this setup to get Google Voice to connect you to US phone numbers for free. Visit the Google Voice website, enter the phone number you'd like to call and choose your ipkall number as the phone to connect with. OR you could get a Google Voice call back app to do this on your phone.
So doing this I can call and receive calls anywhere free of charge and not using any data?

As long as you are on wifi, there's no charge and no use of your data.
When you're not on wifi, this method will use data but not your minutes.

No good for Cuba.
For Canadian users want to use mobile air time minutes instead of data, I would recommend Voxox instead. Voxox will let you have an telephone number in southern California, United States for free which can forward incoming calls via PSTN to any telephone number in Canada or United States for free. You do not even have to install their app. It is a lot simpler to setup, but again, it use your mobile voice minutes instead of data.
Interesting I may give this a shot thanks!
