Question
Why would you want to do that?

If you read what it does you will understand that you can read listen to your voicemail in the order of importance. That is you can select which messages to listen to first instead of listening to 40 messages to get to an urgent one.

It's a feature of the network though, so until it becomes available on your network it won't work regardless of the software.

Same Type of service
There is a service I use from "YouMail.com" . This is how it works.
1. Signup for the service. (FREE and No Advertisements)
2. verify the account.
3. Forward all unanswered calls to their Voice Mail number.
( *004*THEVOICEMAILNUMBER*11# on cingular . I purposely removed the number to idiot proof it.)
4. You have the option to get SMS notification or Emails regarding the message and which number it was left from.
5. You also have the ability to personalize voicemail for numbers that you know. For eg. I have a huge list for my personal contacts where I have personal greetings for each person.
6. If a chick annoys you, you can add her number and mark it as DITCH mail. and She will get the message. . I have used this one 2wice already .
7. You can hear the voicemail via the web or via the regular way of dial/hold 1 or Voicemail in cingular phones.
BTW: Not a PPC Application.

February 15th I posted this in the Wizard forum (as it's not related to Upgrading) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294272
I used it for a couple of daze until I realized that, even though it's "free", it's using my minutes. So, long story short, I noticed that I had LOTS of calls to a Nevada number.....
Worked pretty good though. It replaced my Cingular voice mail and intercepted all my calls so I got emails notifying me of missed calls and my voice mails came in emails with the phone number in the subject and the voice mail as a wav attachment.
The minutes scared me so I canceled the service....

I currently use Youmail but you check the emails online via the pc. With visual voicemail you see your voicemail messages like your email/txt messages

Block SMS on the kaiser

ifs there a program to block sms on windows mobile? i got call firewall for calls but would like a program for sms. any help is brilliant thank you

Symantec recently released their "Norton Smartphone Security" software that includes mobile anti-virus, mobile firewall, SMS anti-spam, and LiveUpdate. Using the Antispam feature you can create blacklists or whitelists that will effectively block SMS.

Not exactly what you want, but I highly recommend SecretSMS.
Once you input a number that you are getting bothersome SMS from, all SMS from that number will go into the SecretSMS inbox (which can be password protected). The only notification you see on you phone is the screen lights up. Then once in a while clear your Secret SMS inbox

I am using (VERY SUCESFULLY) the Magic Call. It's brilliant.
What I like about it that not only blocks any unwanted SMS, but it can also send an SMS to the person(s) sending those unwanted messages.
It's a life saver.

I realize this is like MONTHS late, but in answer to your questions, Yes and Yes.
I just DL'd and installed this SW yesterday, after trying out several alternatives. This was the only one that worked nice and smoothly on my device.
If you decide to allow callers to leave a voicemail, you WILL get that icon at the top of the screen. But it seems to successfully "eat" the actual notification, so that, for instance, phoneAlarm does NOT sound its alarm for a waiting VoiceMail.
It also deletes the calls from your call history, if that matters to you.
FWIW, I also tried Call Firewall, but didn't like it because 1) when it starts, it shows its GUI screen for a few seconds, even when using the "startup" parameter, 2) blocked calls still rang once on my device before being intercepted, and 3) reportedly it hangs up on calls-in-progress if a blocked caller tries to get through. I need this application to be more secure than this.
In addition, I tried smartblock_ppc22. That one installed nicely, but didn't work at all on my device. I read that it has issues with WM6. Although it installed and ran without any error messages, I could not get it to block calls at all.
Anyway, I know this is late, but maybe it'll help somebody.

Texting for free?

Hello Everyone,
Is there a way to text for free on a g1. I cant afford a texting plan so I need a free alternative for the phone. I know google voice is one but they still haven't started the service for free. Its only by invites. Like on the iphone there is a way but I dont know for g1. Are we charged to use google talk on the g1 with wifi connected? Please let me know.
Thank You

OF COURSE!!!!
Not MANY use it, but I used to before I got GOOGLE VOICE.
its called EMAIL!!! its almost just as quick to receive as a text...
For A List Of Carrier email addresses do a google search or go to the carriers website.
EXAMPLE:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

yup, the only tricky thing about using the email method is you have to know exactly which network all of your contacts are on. it's good because they can still text and reply to you and you can receive it later in email archives.
you can also text through IM apps. put all of your contact numbers in as buddies into a mobile group. then just send texts that way. the downside is, if u are not connected to the IM service you wil not get any texts.
both good alternatives with pros/cons. but free assuming you have wifi or unlimted data.

Yea I used AIM before I used GMAIL and now Google Voice to text mobile lines...Im surprised ALOT of people dont use either (AIM or GMAIL)...

Also if you wanted to send them you can use websites like text4free.com. I don't know how you would recieve em tho.

You know, you COULD just send an email to THEIR EMAIL address rather than to their carrier's email-to-sms address....

Actually you can email to text without them having a smartphone you just have to know who the carrier is and the address.

[APP] IM Buddy -[R]- 12/21/2010 -[U]- 2/1/2011 -[V]- 1.11

Name: IM Buddy
Hi. Developer for IM Buddy here.
**** Limited Time Offer ****
**** Price drop to $1.99 ****
I am an avid user of Yahoo Messenger, and was disappointed that it did not exist for my Samsung Focus. And thus IM Buddy was born. IM Buddy uses published SDKs to talk directly to Yahoo's server. As such, there is no middle-man involved and your information is kept confidential. This does have the drawback of not being able to utilize push notification since that would need done thought a middleman server. The panorama controls have been utilized to give IM Buddy a WP7 look and feel.
Please note: WP7 currently does not allow background processes for 3rd party apps.
Features at a glance:
Allow Connect on Start (AutoLogin)
Allowing viewing of offline contacts
Receive and display offline messages after signing back in
Display of online contacts image in contact window
Display of contact image in chat window
Option to Logoff on Close (instead of appearing online)
Toast-like notifications
Allow user to change presence status
Autocomplete/word correction enabled
Use chat keyboard to utilize smileys shorcut
Message timestamps (grouped to save screen space)
Allow user to send a BUZZ
link to online FAQ page added
Additional features on the paid version:
Text to Speech on incoming messages
Customizeable panorama background (theme based otherwise)
Audible on incoming message
Signin as Invisible
v.1.11
Fix session timeout
Add Text-To-Speech (paid version)
v.1.10
Add clearer error messages
Add images to contact window
Add a way to show 'help/FAQ' from website
Please let me know what issues you guys are having.

IM Buddy Free

Some suggestions:
When the application closes (user presses Start button), make the app remember open chat windows in that session and last few (if not all) messages during that session.
When user goes back to closed IM Buddy session by pressing Back button, display saved chat windows/previous messages
If possible, have the app display messages received while offline.
The suggestions above in addition to auto-login (or auto relogin) are useful workarounds to WP7's lack of background support.
Display the X button on pages where it actually does something (chat window)
Make error messages more informative --- Auth failed, Poll failed
Right now the YM mobile website is more reliable for me even if I have to do a page refresh to get latest messages since I can keep track of recent messages, and messages received while offline.

V1.2 has just been approved and is now on the marketplace.
Offline messages should be displayed as soon as you login.
I'll look at saving a few of the messages on close. Was already planning to move the X button just as you said.

I checked out v1.2. Displaying received messages while offline is erratic. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
One time, even while I was already online, I didn't receive any messages, not before I sent a message to the user using IM Buddy. Only then did I start receiving new messages, but I lost all the other messages.
Logoff on close only works when exiting the app with the back button. Using the Start button doesn't logoff the user. Is that by design?

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll check on those issues. I haven't noticed either.

At version 1.0, it always close the other conversation instead of which I choose to close. Did you fix that "funny" bug?
At 1.2, the performance is not really smooth

Just found the close chat window bug. fix will be in 1.3

Just checked the Logoff issue. It seems to occur randomly. It appears that the application is not gettting enough time to complete to transaction to the Yahoo server always.
I will remove 'Logoff on Close' option until I can get a better handle on the timing. You will be in the last status before you leave the app.
V.1.3 will allow you to select from several Status options

I keep getting Update notice, but when I go thru the steps to update, it still says there is an update.
Marketplace: 1 update, tap, Goes to IM Buddy, tap Updated All, Loading, Pending, installing application.. repeat.

Hi. I've seen this before, with other apps as well. The quick solution is to uninstall and install the new version.

This might be a stupid question, but I paid for the app. Does uninstalling it mean I have to buy it again? (this will be the first paid for app I will be uninstalling)

According to MS it should reecognize you have previously purchased the app. See link below
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434864

"According to MS" Yeah, I've read that article a few days ago, but I have read other posts elsewhere that says it doesn't. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

v.1.3 is on its way. Just waiting for market approval.
Fix close chat window bug
Allow user to send a bug report email
Allow user to change presence status
Autocomplete/word correction enabled
Use chat scope to add smileys shorcut
Enter key sends out message in chat window
Add message timestamp, in groups
Add background to chat bubbles
Allow user to change panorama background (paid version)
Disable Logoff on Close (till further notice)

@babyjustine: do you plan to add other Protocolls to it? like AIM/ICQ?

Jabber/xmpp/google would probably be next in line with regards to other protocols... But I need to perfect the YM part first.

v.1.3 is now live on the MarketPlace!

I downloaded the trial, and when I try to change my status to "online" or anything else, it still says "IM Buddy on WP7" by my ID in the contact list.

Hi.
Thanks for trying out my app. I just did a test with the trial, and I am seeing my status change. Did the app error out (maybe due to some network error) on you, and let you upload a Bug Report?
Thanks,
Baby Justine

Hey my friend.
Hope you still reading these threads. I LOVE the app, tested it with the LITE version and it's perfect. So good that i was prepared to pay 5€ for it.
So i've bought it couple days ago, installed it and try to run it. LITE version worked without a problem(even on my very old phone Xiperia ARC), but the FULL one keeps telling me: "License error ..." and it closes itself immediately.
How can there be a LICESNSE error when i bought it legaly, trough Play Store and installed it trough it also.
Can you help me maybe? I need the FULL version function that sends message when my phone has low battery. That is why i bought it!
Thanky you my friend.
