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!

I fully agree

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)
Hi all,
I have a question and I have searched the forum but I couldn't find anything on this. I really hate the built in Contacts Manager. It's slow and the picture Caller Id is very tiny. Is there anyway to permantly replace the built in contact manager with a software of my choice ? I have installed Inesoft Address Book and loved it. The problem is when a call comes in, the built in Caller Id will always be on top of Address Book's caller id.
If there is a topic somewhere in this forum then please point me to the right direction.
Thanks.
I have the same problem
I've installed Inesoft Address book on my new HTC Diamond SPRINT, and I love it. However it conflicts with built-in dialer/callerid. On incoming call I see first the original caller id screen then after a second Inesoft one. On the call end it comes back to the original dialpad and not the Inesoft one. can I completly disable the built in dialer and caller id ? Do you have a solution?
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?
Did a quick search and didn't find anything. I've been having problems with my caller ID function.
Case 1: a call from a non contact/sim number came in which should only show their phone number. Instead, it showed up as my previous caller (best friend) so i picked up and found that the caller called the wrong number.
Case 2: i've been having one caller show up as another until i removed the incorrect caller completely from my phone. In other words, Robert showed up when KC was calling so had to delete Robert entry.
i'm using S2U2 ver. 2.03.
any clues? thanks.
I'm just trying to determine if this is normal behavior or not.
I'm paying for caller ID service from Verizon, and it works fine; when a call is coming in I can see who it is.
But after the call is done, if I go to the phone's history, I'll see the caller ID for split second, and then it's replaced with the phone number of the caller.
This makes the caller ID only useful if I can look at the phone while the call is coming in. After the fact, it's useless.
Is this normal? Can I do something to save the caller IDs so I know who called?
Thanks,
Kiran
