CallFirwall is free but not perfect as you will hear the first ring "unless u edit the ringtone" also you still see the missed call.
Magicall is a pay for software but has alot of options and also works invisibly so you don't see the missed call etc.
Clarification needed...
i'm curious about the whole call barring topic in a technical sense...(why you would want to bar a caller is a social issue )
first i will describe what i know...followed by my question...
my network returns the following announcements for outgoing calls:
1. base case...the call succeeds and i will hear a ringing tone
2. number dialed is busy..."the number you have dialed is busy at the moment, please try later". i hear this immediately if the dialed number doesn't support call waiting.
3. number dialed has declined the call...i will hear a ringing tone until declined...once declined, the announcement is the same as 2 above.
4. being placed on the dialed number's call waiting queue..."the number you have dialed is on another line, please hold"
5. number dialed is powered off (gracefully i assume)..."the number you have dialed is powered off, please try later"...see also 6 below
6. number dialed is unreachable (due to ungraceful shutdown or cell tower down or the dialed number has reception issues)..."the number you have dialed is not responding at the moment, please try later"
when i go in Settings->Personal->Phone and on the "Services" tab, i retrieve settings for the listed "Call Barring" service, i get options to bar (at the network level i presume) incoming and outgoing calls (unconditionally, doesn't matter who is calling or who is being called, respectively) and the only conditions i can set for the "Block incoming calls" category are "Off", "All calls", & "When roaming". Similarly, the conditions for the "Block outgoing calls" category are "Off", "All calls", "International", and "International except to home country".
my question is: what kind of message will a caller get (who i have barred) if i have barred him/her as a result of:
1. unconditional barring of incoming calls set at the network level via Settings->Personal->Phone?
2. barred via software (as suggested in this thread) installed on my phone?
would it be message 2? or 3? or 5 or 6 even?
i'd appreciate any useful clarifications just out of curiosity

Hence the meaning of a call log...it tells you exactly who you called and when. I don't think there is a fix for this but you can always change the options in the menu to show you what you want....for example. Missed Calls, Outgoing Calls, ect....
I was quite annoyed with this in the beginning. On the original ATT dialer, if you press the d-pad down instead of going to call logs it will show you the last several calls before going to your contacts list. This is what I usually used when I was using this dialer. This in turn is compacting your call log to the calls the you dialed or just received.
Hope this helps
When i am using my Kaiser and i am in the middle of a conversation, and there is a incoming call i get to know about it but the caller does not get a busy tone instead he gets a normal ringing tone.
This creates confusion as the caller feels i am ignoring his call, whereas actually i am in the middle of a conversation.
How to ensure that the caller gets a phone busy tone when i am in the middle of a call?
Cheers.
Start>Settings>Personal>Phone>Services
Click on "Call Waiting" and click Get Settings , enable "Notify Me"..
Read the WIKI and STICKY for more info.
he actually asked how to let the other caller get a busy signal... he seems to be seeing the call.
to answer the question. i think you need to set it with your operator.
Sounds like you're wanting no "call waiting" at all. Best bet is to ask your cell phone company if they can either remove that feature or disable it.
I didn't see any phone settings in my Tilt that would allow the user to do so.

When i enable the call waiting notification, and i am on a call, the other caller gets a busy signal (you get to hear beeps and not the phone ring)...& i get a missed call from the caller on my phone...
That's what i thought i thought the OP wanted...
thanks reaper it is working now.
Most welcome mike...
Picture this:
Your sitting at work and someone is calling you.
Your work will fire you if you talk on your cell phone.
However, your work doesn't care if you talk on their corporate phones.
Cell Phone have a built in call forwarding feature.
What I would like to see is a an application that will run when there is an incoming call. I want it to pop up and give me the option to forward the call to my work phone number.
It would be nice to configure it to have multiple forwarding options.
For example:
If your sitting at home and you have poor reception, you want to take the call but you don't want to deal with the poor call quality, so you forward it to your home landline telephone..
If someone has seen and application like this:
Or feels like developing an application, it would be much appreciated.
Another option would be cool if worked with S2U2.
Thanks.
This would be awesome, is it doable? Since call forwarding is a net based service it probably don't work to use the net service. But if you make the app to handle it as a phone conference where you call up a third party, that should be possible?! DEVELOPERS, GET ON IT!
Can't you just input your work phone number as a call forwarding number in settings to call after not picking up after 4 or 5 rings. then when you get a call you get the option to ignore the call and then it will be forwarded to your work number automatically.
Or do only operators in the netherlands give you this option??
You can't forward call when there is an incoming call in progres, that can do only operator.
There is network service and network must have this information, so only u can use build in feature to forward, and as robstgter said u can use that after a specific time the call will be forwarded.

There is what you call, Forward on Busy, so when you hangup it just forward it to your number.
Are there any developers interested in working on this application/Function?

Well the problem is sometimes I would like to just ignore the call and send to voice mail.
Other times I would want to take the call, but I just want to hit foward to my work or home phone.
So I can talk on that line rather than my cell phone.
I wouldn't want it to always forward because I'm not always at work to answer the phone.
However, maybe there could be a easy way of completing this task by making an easy way to turn call forwarding off and on. The next thing to consider is the SMS (is it affected in a call forwarding environment or no?)

Yes and no.
I believe it takes just a second or 2 to update the call forwarding on your cell phone, through the settings, at least it use to be this way
SO: If the application ran, (pressing a button to forward) would just change the forward settings for you than after the 5 rings is up it forwards to the number desired.
I'm almost positive that the forwarding can happen after it rings because of this scenario:
You call someone, it rings 5-9 times then goes to voice mail. Well that voice mail is actually connected through a different phone number. Just like when you access your voicemail (for Californians) it dials a (909) 213-xxx number.. (which is nothing close to your cell phone number)

Yes, I agree the term is more of: Forward on Busy.
I need someone's help real bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is the scenario:
1. I got everything work just fine with this VOIP phone with Sipgate, Google Voice & Sipsorcery... I got everything working and receiving incoming & outgoing calls with no problems at all.. using Sipdroid as my ATA on my T-Mobile G1
2. now today after like a month when i getting ready to make a outbound call to a store it gives me a beeping noise that replaces the ringer then it never connects and hangs up.
3. now i never changed the settings on sipgate nor did I change the settings on sipsorcery...
4. I never had a problem til today and now i cant receive nor make calls.
5. So i went to sipgate and tried to dial out it said "Error 200 3" or with the pop up messages on the bottom right while signed into sipgate it had a message at the bottom saying "Line 1 Busy".
6. Since then i went into sipgate and erased everything also i did the same in sipsorcery and it didnt change the problem...
7. All im trying to do is make calls again without hearing this beep sound that replaces the ringer and making and receiving calls again...
Can Anyone please help me???? I really need it lol, i am frustrated to the max with this.
68 views and no answer?
come on, yall know how to make app for phones and all i am asking on how to correct a problem...
do anyone have a answer?
Sorry this is really basic.
I was informed by my carrier that calls made to my voice mail will be indicated on my phone and that the caller ID and time of call will be visible in the missed call log.
Well I did a test and yes, there is an indicator that a voice mail is waiting, but where can I find the Caller ID/tel. number?
TIA
There is an app that does that if that is any good to you.
Is it not under the Call Log in the Phone?

Yeah that's where you would think it would be.
The only thing that's showing up there are calls I have made, not any incoming voice messages/missed calls.
Is there are other place to look?
I've also looked at messaging, but that looks like it's just for text/sms messages.
The only thing that comes in is a notification on the home page saying "new voicemail dial +1-647-xxx-xxxx"
There is nothing about the caller ID.
That's a bummer.

Sure, what's the app?
You would think a brand spanking new phone like this would have this feature?
I mean I'm subscribing to caller ID.
I think it is an Android thing as my last one didn't have it either.
It is called Missed call.
I haven't used them yet but there are also apps that act as an on phone message machine so you do not have to call your voicemail box and if your like me, get charged for it.

Very odd. My Call Log shows calls I've made, calls I've received and missed calls that got bounced to voicemail (Green left arrow for received, orange right arrow for dialled and red angled arrow for missed calls)

I'm slowly figuring out this puzzle.
I was inquiring about two specific situations (which I hadn't made clear).
The first is when I have my phone turned off (flight mode) and I receive a call.
Is it possible with any software to find out these missed calls (caller ID/time)?
The second is when a call is made (again with phone turned off) and a voice message is left in my box.
In this situation my I9000 just notifies me that there is a voice mail. It doesn't tell me who called or the time (in the call log or anywhere else).
If I have my phone turned on, then yes, if I don't answer it (missed call) it will show up in the call log (caller ID and time).

I'm curious about these apps. It would be nice to avoid charges for accessing my voicemail box.
How can these apps possibly help though? Surely they must answer the phone call before they can record it? Once they answer the call, you're zapped with the charge, just as if you listened to a recorded voicemail.
Why would you be charged for someone else phoning you? The phone answers and records the message to the SD. There is also a version I believe that cancels the incoming call and then sends a text to the caller with your own custom message. Of course with this you would be charged for the text.

Because I live up in the frozen white north (Canada) where phone companies are making a killing charging you for both out and in calls.
