I was just wondering what the Emergency Call button does. I'm not going to push it for fear of accidentally dialing 911. Does it auto dial 911? Does it give you a keypad and let you dial any number? Can you access your contacts? Can you voice dial? I just want to know what it does exactly.
I'm pretty sure it opens a dial pad that can only dial emergency numbers like 911

Emergency call button is intended for emergency numbers. Perhaps, the 911 will be activated automatically once it is pressed. But honestly I do have a little knowledge about it.

Emergency call button does for asserting the emergency numbers. Perhaps, the 911 will surely be activated automatically once it was opened. It can do many activities, but I am not sincerely so much particular about them.

Wow, thanks for resurrecting a 5 month old thread to provide those wonderful words of wisdom.
only opens the dialpad for you to dial 911
I was curious one time with mine and it directly dialed 911 after pushing it.

Hello
i am looking for a program for call forwarding
so i can give some numbers and if they call that these numbers will be forwarded to another phone
all the other numbers shouldn't be forwarded
Does a program like this exist?
and so yes where can i find it
Greetz Hatchy
Nobody any Idea?
Is this So hard to find?
SPB Phone suite is capable of reject calls (accept white list, reject black list, reject all....) but i believe that it only rejects calls.
Maybe if you set up forwarding if busy it works....
The following codes are for call diverts:
Divert when busy: **67*(phone number)# then press call
To cancel it: ##67# then press call
Divert when out of reach: **62*(phone number)# then press call
To cancel it: ##62# then press call
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
found it on google,not sure if it will work....
did you search at all???? or you let other people do what you want...
try searching "call divert application for ppc" or sth like that
thanx to all
"and yes i did search"
i could find it

So what have you found?
Does anybody know where the settings are stored that "tell" the Voicemail button innotifications which number to dial?
Whenever you get voicemail, you get a notification that pops up with an option to call voicemail. On my phone, however, the standard voicemail setup in Settings/Phone does NOT store commas so you cannot have one-click access to voicemail. In fact, when setting up the standard voicemail, you can type the comma, but when you exit and come back in, the comma is automatically deleted, so it doesn't work. So, I had to setup a contact entitled Voicemail and inserted the voicemail telephone number, comma, password and # there. Commas are retained in contact phone numbers, so I call that contact, I indeed get one-click access. I also made that contact Speed Dial 2.
What I want to be able to do is alter the settings for the Voicemail option in notifications so that instead of dialing the via the Settings/Phone setup it will either:
a) dial the contact
b) dial speed dial 2
or
c) allow me to directly enter what I want in the configuration for that option.
Even if I have to edit the Registry, I have no problem. I just don't know where that info is stored.
Anybody got any ideas?
TIA
Does V not allow you to check your voicemail from your phone without the password? I'm with Sprint, and when calling voicemail from my device it doesn't ask, but when calling from another phone it will.

traditionally it is stored in speed dial position 1 so you can press and hold 1 to call voicemail. I know you can edit it on AT&T phones might be able to on Verizon too.

No Verizon requires you to enter a password even if you call from your cell phone.

Yes, while the default is Speed Dial 1, that is NOT what I'm looking for because, as I stated above, commas cannot be maintained withing the standard voicemail setup location. Thus, when you press "voicemail" when prompted for messages, you end up having to type your password.
I am looking for a way to "remap" that Voicemail option on notifications.
On AT&T it is P for pause not comma's have you tried that?
Or you could install PhoneAlarm it allows you to change your voicemail number.

That was the ticket! Thanks so much for the tip!
I am able to make conference calls only when I dial out both the numbers.
1. I dial the first number
2. Go to menu click 'Add Call' and call the other number
3. Merge the two
Is it not possible to put someone who is calling me on conference if I am already on a call?
tkz
I looked around, and actually did not see anyone speaking of being able to do that. They all referenced you having to call both lines.
Thanks for the reply. I read somewhere else stating it aint possible coz of the way CDMA works.

My phone has started making random calls by itself. While the keys are locked. BUT TO ONLY EMERGENCY NUMBERS!. First it's been calling 112 which does nothing in this area. But today it actually called 911. While in my pocket. While the keys were locked. I would have never known but the operator called me back. So I looked through my call log and find a bunch of listings for 112 and finally today for 911. Maybe it would make more sense if random numbers or contacts were called along but thats not the case.

I'm running 3VO 3.60
Basically the Emergency numbers can be dialed even if the keyboard is locked. Install maniac Autokeylock () - this will add another layer of keypad safety. His site seems offline currently (http://maniac.fschreiner.de/), so you may need to seek for a download elsewhere. I have no copy available - possibly will do that later.
The author sent me a direct link: http://maniac.fschreiner.de/dmdocuments/Keylock_WM5.CAB
Thanks. I didn't realize it did that. Makes sense now. This program will make the keys automatically lock but will it lock it from dialing 911?

yes it will
i enabled it and I can still call 911 while its locked
here my friend
use this
http://www.logic-unlimited.in/callfirewall.php
this is an all in one software which can block incoming sms and calls
as well as block outgoing calls so just add 911 to ur blacklist so this application will stop it from calling
Perfect! thanks
AKL will block only while the SS is active. No need to configure a call firewall. With the latter you will kill dialing 911 all times - also when you need it!

Anyone ele having problem with using the dialer to find a contact, then when finding it and clicking on it it gives the option to call all numbers instead of just going to the defualt number. My girlfriends att note 7 doesnt do this.
I have her cell set defualt. And work as 2nd. When i dial her name using the dialer her name comes up like it should. When i click on her name an option comes up to dial her cell or work. I have to take the extra step and click cell then the call button. It should just go to her cell when i click her name then call whwn i hit the call button. The extra step to choose between the cell and work shouldnt be there as it should defualt to her cell as its checked of as the main.
Can someone please see if their verizon phone does this or am i missing something. Please. Thank you.
Someone please
Verizon reps phone at best buy did the same thing. Seems like its only verizon phones.
try sliding from left to right to call directly. Tapping the name will only give you options.. sliding will call directly.
