I've had an unlocked G1 for a while now and its been going great. Calls, wifi, tethering, mms, all of it works just fine.
The only issue I'm having is with my voicemail. When I call the AT&T voicemail number, it says it needs more information from me, it then gives me the option to enter the 10 digit number to leave a message, or press pound to access my voicemail. If I try entering my number to leave a message, it says it isn't set up and cannot leave a message. If I hit pound and try to access my voicemail, it says the mailbox number does not exist.
Anybody know how to fix this issue?

Use YouMail. It's really nice, has it's own app and you can personalize messages for everyone in your phonebook.

Thank you for the reply!
I actually had a friend who had an extra invite for Google Voice, so I got signed up for that and am using it for all of my voicemail needs.
Good to hear that your problem is solved.
Remember to edit the title of your new thread with FIXED or SOLVED so people like me don't stop by just to read that you fixed your own problem.

Hi,
this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.
I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.
You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.
So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?
Also another one
Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?
Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?
Thanks
Mike
the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.

Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.
I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.
i don't know if this app will help. I've never used it but ran across it a few weeks ago.

I bet something like this could be down with MortScript... I'll research it, i've been wanting to get into MortScript, this would be a perfect test.

There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).

Yes that looks very much like it.
I was sure it was part of WM already. Must have got it wrong.
Thanks, I'll check it out when I get my WM device soon!

Call Firewall
I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....
Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:
1. Send ID to everyone
2. Send ID to contacts only
3. Do not send ID
Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Only thing with ''call firewall'' is that when you are on a call if a call comes in it disconnect both the call your on and the one coming in... my experience.
There is also Magicall that does this:

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?

try useing youmail.com thats what i use...
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.
tvos
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)

Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?
I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.
i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.
where can i download? please?
I decided to start developing my own version..
^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.
Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..
Yes!
Joey3002 Please post it when completed. I cant find the other app anywhere. If you take paypal donations, I will send some $ after you post it. Thank You!
aFirewall allows you to configure multi-scenes to block different call or SMS at different time by now. Its features are as below:
1. You can add black number from call log, SMS log, contacts or add it mannually;
2. You can setup aFirewall password to protect your private black list;
3. Unread blocked call log and SMS log notification;
4. Option to disable and enable aFirewall blocking notification;
You can download from market now because it is free. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.
Does it work good? I know call blocker dissapointed me, so if someone says this works well and doesnt bog down the g1 any. Im all for it. =)
its a paid app?

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... :/
This is really weird, but when I was messing around with Darch's 2.1 ROM I got a voicemail so I dialed 1 to listen to it. Instead of going to Sprint it said "Welcome to Virgin Mobile's voicemail system. If you want to use SMS Voicemail to check your inbox press 1". I didn't know what that meant, so I pressed 1. Ever since, whenever someone leaves a voicemail message I don't get a normal voicemail notification, or a Visual voicemail notification...instead I get a SMS that says "(insert person's phone number) has left you a voicemail. Call (Some random phone number) to check it.
I don't know how to undo it! I wan't my voicemail notifications, and my visual voicemail to work! I Nandroided back to Fresh 1.1, and it still does the same thing. I think that means it's must be something on Sprint's network.
Does anyone have any experience with, or know anything about this, and how I can fix it?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i had done the same thing.. and one of two things i did got it working again.. 1 was going into settings and Update Profile.. and the other was forwarding one of my previous voicemails to my self..
let me know which one works for you!
how exactly did you forward a message to yourself? I can't figure this out!
go to voicemail.. then open the message you want to forward and press the menu key. You will see a bar come up and select forward. Enter your phone number as you want to forward the message to yourself.

DUDE!! Thank you SOOOO much!! I didn't have any old voicemails, but I clicked menu, and there was the option to create one, so I created one and selected myself as the recipient, and it actually went through! I just tested leaving a regular voicemail from my wife's phone to mine and it worked. You're a genius! Major props. Thanks so much...cuz that was getting thoroughly annoying
Glad I could help! I wasn't sure which of the two things I did actually fixed the issue.. Thanks for verifying that's what does the trick!
