I'm looking for a VoIP provider to sign on to so I can make landline calls, but I've been searching for one and can't seem to make ends meet. I know that some providers allow free landline calling, but I would have to "pay" or "buy credits". That's not exactly free, that's more like having unlimited minutes.
So, I ask, can anyone give me suggestions or referrence to an awesome VoIP service that can fulfill my landline-calling needs? Thanks.
PS: Must be SIP configurable.
Dev Friends,
Just recently I signed up with the Answer Tones through AT&T which I think is very cool then the lame ole ring-ring you hear all the time!
So I decided to change my personalized voice message. I used text to speech with music in the background. Mixed it down to a .wav file and would to use this as my personalized message.
Anyone know how this can be through AT&T? Only way I know how is to hold the mic up to the spearker and play the .wav file.. Kinda of lame and qty is bad....
Ideas anyone?

would it be possible to create a audio recording computer based using soundforge, acid pro to .wmv or .mp3 and upload it to this service?
i am not interested recording a voicemail thru the phone receiver.
pls advise.

There is no way to upload your own stuff/files to ATT. The only way is to add it via the phones mouthpiece.
thanx for the info. i looked on the site and appeared that way, but
thought i would ask.

www.youmail.com is the ****. I love the smart calling feature. Example.
Say somebody calls you on your phone. This is what they will heard.
"Hello (person calling names) (Your Name) can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message.

What I like about YouMail is that you can set custom VM messages for specific callers. I also have it set so people calling with a caller ID block get a message stating that I do not accept blocked calls. The voicemail can also be delivered to your email inbox, and in the case of work if someone leaves you a message on a project that someone else is handling you can just forward the email (and the message) to the right person. The only thing that bothers me is that I haven't figured out how to make the VM indicator work with YouMail (This may not even be possible, but I still try)

its possible u just need to go in to the page with the text settings....
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!

My wife and I both use Answer Tones on our Tilts. (8925s)

One commercial product I have used in the past is Auto SMS Reply 2.0. I think is it was around $15.00 dollars when I bought it. I don't know of any free ones on this site.
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=18331
thanks for the quick reply ill check that one out, but i know there is a free one out there lol. Its been in a few roms in the past i looked throught a few but could not find anything...
Check this out -
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1712
It is free, does what are looking for. Only problem is it will try to send an SMS in response EVERY missed call - it can't tell if the calling number is a cell phone or a fixed line phone.
I really want a program that would ask me if I wanted to send an SMS after the call was not answered or would even ask me while the phone is ringing. (Possibly just bring up the dialog of of a new SMS with the number already there) The Palm OS has that feature built in and it's very nice. Does anybody know of anything like it?
I actually found that program: SPB Phone Suite does exactly that, it will ask if you want to send an SMS after the call is over or ignored.
The one used to use is Mobile Secretary
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/10/23/the-mobile-secretary.aspx
Is there any Symbian appplication for same ? Windows mobile is bit restriction.
Doesn't s2u2 support this feature now?
Does anyone know of an application for the diamond that will say the callers name during the ringtone like what is available on the Nokia N-Series?
Thanks

bump bump !!!
I think MS Voice command does it....
I'm not using it... but do a search and you will find more info about it...
That would be a cool app to have, my mates have N95 and they think they are so great... I would love that app to piss them off to show them my jewel is much better (which is is anyway)
Yeh .. Its really useful app I've been using it for a while on my Nokia and I really miss it. Imagine when you mobile rings while you are asleep... you dont need to move nor open your eyes to know the caller
Yes I agreeeee.
And making a recording for every single contact is a hasssllleeee.
from MS Voice Commander's features...
Spoken caller ID. Windows Mobile smartphone users can take full advantage of incoming caller ID without ever looking down at the screen. Incoming call information is announced as calls are received. Users who think they may have missed a call can simply ask, "What calls did I miss?" and Voice Command will recite the time and phone number of missed calls.

Thanks for the finds HollerID seems to be floored as it only supports downloaded soundfiles for a first name i.e. Paul. from their subcribed service. so managing would become a pain [IMHO].
Voice Commander sounds like it could be the answer but I can see this using alot of memory for what is quite a small task.
MS Voice Command does it....and I am trying to turn it off!
It is annoying when the woman calls out the name when on call waiting. Her voice is so damned loud that it drowns out the conversation I am having. i simply CANNOT continue the conversation if I have a call waiting....also, I like my privacy at times and may not want the people around me to know who is calling. MS Voice command has zero options to configure any of this.
Having said that, it works VERY well for voice commands with zero teaching/learning. If you want someone to tell you who is calling, this will do it too.... if you know how to shut her up and just LISTEN for my commands, please PM me! I would love to know how! Some things should only speak when spoken to.....

I am also annoyed by the incoming call announcement DURING a call also. Have you found out a way to shut it off DURING a call?
