1. You cannot do anything on the phone. You have to setup your voicemail that way.
2. Are you saying that you are not seeing anything on the popup box or are you saying that they are small and not so readable? If it is the latter, then you have to rely on 3rd party programs (ex: Photo Contacts Pro or S2U2). Search the forums for these two programs.

I found on the phone that you can alter the delay before the phone switches to "voice Mail"
on the second problem.....
the box pops up in the lower part of the screen . The bottom section isnt high enough to shown the full ID contact name etc its hidden

2. Reordering the plugins or deactivating a couple you don't need may do the trick. I think it's under 'settings -> Today.

On my T-Mobile MDA Vario III (UK) you can find this option as follows:
Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Service Tab
Highlight the "Call Forwarding" option in the list and click "Get Settings...."
You should then see a list of network settings, one of which is:
Forward phone calls only if:
Then a ticked box next to "No answer: Voicemail"
Below this change the value for "Forward after" in the drop down list - multiples of 5 secs from 5 to 30.
When you are done click OK and you should be good to go.
I hope its the same on yours!?

Change default time for call forwarding
Hi,
Due to our operator procedure i have to acivate call forwarding by dialing special command. It is not a problem, however every time I cancel call forwarding and activate it again, I have to adjust timing for it. By default it is set to 20 seconds and I need it to be 5. Any tricks how can I do that? Tried to find it in registry, but no luck.

Thank you this was the perfect answer.

Make Private Call / Hide Number feature?

I finally ordered my phone so I am anxiously waiting for delivery.
I was wondering as I couldn't find any info in the manual nor on this forum...does the phone have a built in feature to make the out-going call private or hide number?
I know the GSM code #31# but I know some phones have the feature to always do this on calls or individual calls.
If there is no feature, is there a 3rd party app?
Thank you in advance.
So much to learn here...

there's an option in the phone settings to turn off outbound caller id.

Excellent...thanks!

of course I reject all incoming calls that have caller ID turned off to keep the telemarketers away. Just something to keep in mind if you have some tech savvy friends who do the same.

"Only to contacts" is broken. You still need to dial *82 or whatever; it's not automatic.

Thanks.
*31# shows the ID as all my friends' numbers in Contact has that in front of the phone number. I've been using it for years on my other phones.
Hopefully *31# will override the HTC "caller id to no one" setting.
There are just too many customers that I call that I do not want them to have my cell number. If they reject my call then we'll play voicemail tag
Thanks for all the replies. I can't wait to get my new phone!

i call *31# now can not call anyone ?!!

Read the ... page before compaining. from v1.3 it also blocks SMS.

Try Call SMS Blocker
use call sms blocker, very powerful program to block both calls and SMS. You need to buy it, I do not have the crack or serial.
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/csb/csb.aspx

Try MagiCall
You can set up profiles etc. And its working on Diamond.

I use MagiCall. http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
But it is not free.

i will use one of these apps....

To block call from specific number use SPB Phone Suit. however this wont block sms from the specific user. Only block incoming calls

call n sms blocking
u can use kaspersky mobile .... available on dl4all.com
da calls n sms are blocked and YOU ARE NOT NOTIFIED

thanks for the apk bro, u r the man!

I had made it free today. You can download from market directly and have a try. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.

Looks like a good free app but sends the call to voice mail. Would be better if for an incoming call the phole answers then hands up. This has a two fold benifit, first the spammer is charged for phoning me and second no voice mail.

if there is an incoming call, does the app block the call instantly or will the phone rings then block?
will there be a notification of the blocked calls? coz personally i dun want to see who's call i blocked......

Yeah, I noticed that with other firewall apps too. They all send to voicemail. That's part of the standard OS if you just click "send all calls from voicemail" under the contact for that number.
I want something that blocks them, or better yet - set up a forwarding number for their individual phone#. I'd love to forward the telemarketers right back to themselves. ha.

aFirewall just endCall when the call need to be blocked. Woud you like to let me know the call will be send to voicemail automaticlly when the call was rejected in your operator? That is to say, this is a default configuration of your phone as my Nortel IP landline phone does.
I can add a feature to aFirewall to forward a call to another number when a call was rejected.
Thanks.

If a blocked call was incoming, aFirewall end it instantly and no rings. And no notification was sent to you in default configuration. But your can enable it if you want this. Thanks.

How did you go about hanging up the call on incoming. I have looked into this and from what I can see this is not in the current version of the SDK.
If you could post some code that would be awesome!
Thanks

this app does not work at all....i added a contact to black list and have it set to block both calls and sms, and im still getting the calls and messages from that person... :/
