Got to thinking... I dont own an iPhone and have never held one. From what I understand, the iPhone has a Visual Voice Mail feature that essentially stores voice mail on the phone.
Now, is this as simple as ATT sending the WAV file to the phone as an attachment and the phone storing it? Plus the iPhone having a built in app that "threads" the list of voice mails?
I was looking at this application:
http://www.motionapps.com/mvisualvoicemail/_otherppc.jsp
But, my provider, ATT, doesn't send me the WAV files so the above program will not work for me. I use Vonage and they DO send the voice mail attachment but I use TCMP to open and listed.
Just wondering how the iPhone did what it did and why the reset of us are missing out on this same feature.
Congratulations. On another thread you flame a noob for asking a question thats been asked before... and then you start a new thread about this
Sorry, I guess you misunderstood. I'm looking for carrier specific option. I mean, ATT already does it for ONE brand of phone, right? Why not all phones. Callwave, GrandCentral, etc are all 3rd party stuff. They might work, yes. But again, if ATT does it for one, why not all?
My point was that you could have discussed it on the existing thread about the issue... considering your post the microsd card threads...
In my past experience (using Treo / Palm) running 2-3-4 "inbound call programs" causes you to loose calls. For example, when an inbound call comes in, you start up Ringo, MagiCall and something else, by the time all 3 applications do their thing, the phone locks up or whatever and you miss 90% of your calls.
The thread you point to requires more modifications than I want to attempt to use. Replying on sooo many variables (3rd party apps, 3rd party answering machines, etc) I think you are bound to miss calls eventually.
In the end, I'd perfer not to miss calls or voice mails. I'd just like for my carrier, ATT, who already does it, to send me the voice mail as an attachment and then store it on my phone.
I think the program I point to in my post, MVisualVoiceMail is just for that, reading attached email voice mails, which I want from my carrier, ATT, the same provider that already does it for one brand of phone, the iPhone.
It's still the same question. Only the iPhone has visual voicemail. AT&T will not support it on other phones.
Full marks though for ignoring my point...
Can someone recommend good call management app?
Required functions:
Rejecting (best by showing busy status to the caller)
or directing to voice mail - all (or specified) calls except from address book
logging feature
PS Just recieved my kaiser today
I remember seeing SPB Software House (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) has something of the sort. SPB Phone Suite I think?

Novomobile Smartfilter Pro, or Photo Contacts (pocketx I think) will both do this based on criteria you set, you might also search the forum here for call firewall. That one is a freebie.
Search for callfirewall in this forum...
I have been using Magicall for some time now and love it. Able to block private numbers, send automated sms with individual messages to groups on your phone and even auto reply to sms's with individual messages to categories or certain contacts. Try it
yeah i also use call firewall, to narow down ur search try the development and hacking forum
SPB Phone Suite does provide blacklist/whitelist capabilities and reply with SMS (among other things).
It is a paid program, so if you're looking for free solutions, this isn't it.
Installed call firewall
free and not bloated with useless features
thanks everyone.
Afternoon !!!
I have a MDA Compact IV & I am looking for the best hopefully ( free ) tool to manage my calls & text messages.
Have previously owned Nokia's & Sony's I am used to being able to set up caller group's & set up profile's on my phones.
The Compact does not seem to allow you to do this !!
Is there a way of doing this I have over looked or a software package you would recommend?
Thanks

I was using that also. But if you are on a call when an rejected number comes in it will disconnect both calls.
I'm currently using magicall and it works great.
MagiCall is fantastic app.
has anyone found or heard of a cab for voice texting, i found this website but its for nokia phones http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/?action=productDetails&pID=3304&pmsid=254&lang=en
i think this app would be cool if ur driving, ifind it difficult to text when driving especially with the tilt. any cabs out there?
You want Palringo. It does just that. IM and Voice IM.
have u tried it on ur tilt?
From the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking, http://www.nuance.com/voicecontrol/. Or try this Google search, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mobile+voice+to+text.
There was an application supplied with iMate JasJar's sold in the UAE by a company that came from Dubai.
Sorry but can't remember that far back what it was called (age ya know!)
It provided Extended SMS with colour/font changing, drawing and voice clip capabilities. It would only work if both parties had the SW installed.
Biggest drawback (and why its no longer available I think) is that the multiple SMS's required to carry voice data were more expensive than dialling someone's voice mail!!! Funny really...
I've Googled but there doesn't appaers to be anything suitable around at the moment.
i tried google...but that app for nokia phone looks like it works well any one kno if i can work on the tilt? and y does palringo ask for my mobile #?
You might try jott.com.
Does this work with AT&T Tilt 8925?
Should do!
It looks to me like a standard subscription service where you ring them and a little old lady types it in on her keyboard and sends it out as a text for you! (or is it the other way around?)
Not found an actual voice app but seen a nifty little SMS app that tags on nicely to the Kaiser called XMS from Imaginet.
http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=xms
Gives you full smileys and coloured handwriting but the flaw is the recipient also has to have it installed. Good job its 'Buy one get on free then!'
Ignore the 'up to CE2005' as it works perfectly.
Nuance not available for purchase!

Palringo works great on my Tilt. I'm using it right now to talk to a guy with Voice IM. Have also done text (standard) IM.
www.palringo.com
how does it work, it said something about being online?

Palring is a free program? I can use it free ?
I have to pay something when i use it?
Palringo is an Instant Messaging package similar to MSN Messenger but also has voice.
No text to speech.
So you just register and it uses a data connection (phone or WiFi) the data call is the only cost so far.
but only to other Perlingo contacts? you can't use it to voice text anyone else?
It does not do 'voice texts' as such.
It's an IM client in its own right that can chat between its own members or any members on other networks such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc.
You can leave voice messages to other palringo users.
If you are wanting a package that sends voice over the standard SMS network then I think you will be out of luck as it would cost more in text messages to send the sound data than it would ringing.
Other alternative would be for someone to generate a Speach recognition package that writes your SMS and sends it out!
Why not send an MMS?? You can put voice clips on that!
yes voice to standard sms text message is what we (I) want. you're driving along and receive a text message. you want to just speak a short reply and send it rather than fiddling with the phone illegally to compose a message using the keyboard
Hi Does anyone know of some software that will allow me to speak to the PDA and it type for me?
Do some search on www.google.com and typ in Voice to Text PPC.
I did it and immediatly it came up with some good results.
For example: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/texttospeechproductsforpocketpc.php
That one is text to speech, not speech to text
I didn't think PPC would be able to run this sort of software, so I went looking. Problem seems to be that most results are for voice control rather than actual speech to text.
IBM via voice mobile seems to exist, but it seems more like voice control again. I also found something called Universal Translator which seems overkill.
Pocket Dictate, Dictaton 2005, SpeaktoText, etc...

Got me excited. However, is designed to "dictate directly on your Pocket PC using the buttons on the unit... tap send and the dictation will be compressed, encrypted and sent to your typist by email automatically."
Sadly, I don't have and can't afford a typist I suppose it would be possible to push it through a piece of desktop software, but then I could use "notes" or "voice recorder" which came with my kaiser.

Googled these - SpeaktoText and Dictaton 2005. Both are for desktops, not PPC
Maybe somebody can work with this; it's beyond my abilities.

updates?
Anyone ever find anything worthwhile?
I use this on my tilt with 6.1
It works PDG. Needs some training but you can voice text, email notes etc.

I am about to buy an 09 Ford Focus and am unsure about whether the G1 will work with it or not. I have been hearing that it will and will not work depending on which link in google you listen too. Anyone in here have any knowledge about it?
The G1 will work with every feature of sync excluding text messaging. I have looked and looked to find out why, or to find a work around, with no success. The phone book does sync properly, and phone calls can be made.
If you are seriously looking at the car, when you do a test drive, have them let you sync your phone. That is a significant feature they're selling you on, so there is no reason they should say no. I just purchased my 09 focus about a month ago, and that is one of the first things I did when we returned from the drive.
If you have any more Q's, feel free to PM me.
P.S. Love the car, got it w/ the Moon&Tune Package. Get the larger wheel size. 15" is an uncomfortable ride.
So as a follow up, I contacted Sync support. Here is the transcript:
Chat InformationPlease wait for a Sync Agent to respond.
Chat InformationThank you for contacting the Ford & Lincoln-Mercury Sync Support Center.
You are now chatting with 'Adam'
How may I assist you?
you: I have a T-mobile G1
you: and am able to use all features but text messaging
you: and wonder why that is
Adam: Unfortunately, few phones support the ability to forward text messages over Bluetooth, as is required to use that feature.
you: is there an sdk for sync?
Adam: Though T-Mobile allows that ability to be used on their network, it is unlikely that the messaging application on the G1 can be changed to send the messages over Bluetooth +AT commands. Those commands are how SYNC communicates with the phone for all features.
Adam: No, there is not an SDK available.
you: the +AT commands, are they lower level commands within the OS, or could an app be built (as it is open source) to do such.
Adam: The last time I had asked about the issue, I was told that there were no plans to make an SDK available in the future, either.
Adam: The +AT commands are part of the standard Bluetooth protocols.
Adam: It would be possible for an application to be built to send the messages, though I don't know about intercepting the messages from the typical G1 texting application.
Adam: You would also need to be sure that the feature is told to SYNC during the Service Discovery phase of the connection, so SYNC knows that the phone can be capable of that. I am not sure exactly what would need to be changed, but I believe that information is in the GSM specification for text messages.
you: are there any other elements that would need to be involved?
Adam: I am not aware of anything else, though I am not a SYNC engineer.
you: fair enough
Adam: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
you: well then thank you very much for the information, and hopefully we can make something work.
Going to post this to the dev forum and see whats possible.
Thanks for all the knowledge guys. I am having a blue 2009 focus shipped in friday so i will be testing it then. I understood the text messaging did not work as i was told that off the bat via google. I heard that the iPhone and Sync work perfectly together in all aspects so i am going to see if they can send texts over BT b/c its there is a iPhone app for it or if its built in then the G1 can sure do it.
