so on my previous phones, when i was out of area service(no signal) and someone called during that, i received(after gain signal) a message with lost call and their phone number.
it is possible on wildfire?
thanks in advance
I dunno about doing that phone-wise, but my carrier has the option for me to receive those

I'm pretty sure that this is a service of your carrier, so you should be able to use it on any phone.
i had the same carrier on my previous phones, so i think it's wildfire here
if i remember correctly, on nokia 5800 was a setting in sms menu, but on wildfire i can't find it.
Check whether you are still subscribed to it. They send it as a normal SMS, so I am sure it should work on any phone. It's a paid service here (Obviously, it was free before) and you have to separately subscribe to it.
thanks, but I'm very sure that i haven't unsubscribed to this or any service since i got my wildfire or before that.
Call your service provider and badger them. (lol) Alternatively, if you are sure this is a Wildfire thing, use your own SIM card on another phone and check there whether it works.
That feature is called "MISSED CALL ALERTS" and in no way it is related to wildfire. And i don't see a point which says that it won't work on wildfire. It is just like receiving text message (lol).
It is entirely a service provider thing. Ask your service provider for MISSED CALL ALERTS (MCA).
And sometimes there will be network related issues so that MCA will be activated automatically without charging (happened to me once). And sometimes they will be automatically activated by deducting balance from our mobile and we being unaware of that. This was the worst thing i face with service providers, they activate the things automatically deducting balance (like caller tunes).
And can u tell the option present in nokia 5800 setting. IM ALMOST SURE THAT THIS OPTION IS NOT PRESENT IN MESSAGING APP. BUT, IF IM CORRECT U MUST HAVE SEEN IT IN "SIM TOOLKIT" APP WHICH IS A NETWORK RELATED THING AGAIN.
Check the "Sim Toolkit" (or some other name i don't know what ur carrier names it) app on wildfire and verify whether u see it there.

I bought Kasparki mobile security to reject calls from ex-girlfriend, but she has started to push *31* in front of my number to make it show in my phone display as unknown.
Does there exist an app for Windows Mobile which can automaticly reject calls marked as unknown??
yep quite a lot of 'em
try a search for "call firewall" on here..
not used it for a long time but it worked..
read his thread and you'll see theres a couple of minor issues, but you should be able to live with them better than your ex-gf at any rate
although I'd suggest answering all unknown numbers with a txt saying "i dont talk to pot boilers" may not be too subtle
another thing u might try is to set phone to accept (only on contacts list)
call your network. they should be able to bar her number from calling if you say she is harrassing you. i know BT does it in the uk.
I did finde some

Use magicall.............
I vote for giving a call to your cell provider. All providers I know of can simply block all "unknown" numbers - the call never even reaches your phone. Then again, I am in Europe. Anyways it's really popular here is phone spam is becoming as normal as email spam, and they all call as "unknown"

TDC in Denmark who are the worst assclownes in the whole of Europe, they will not block a number unless the police tells them too.
Magicall can it block numbers marked "unknown" in the caller-id?
For the last few days I have been having an issue with my evo where I am not receiving any calls or text messages. I also cannot send out texts. The only thing I can do is make calls out, and text within my own family plan. I am also able to access 3g mobile network.
This started happening after a representative asked me to enter the follow codes into my phone to remove call forwarding:
*38
*730
*740
I have tried to look up references to these codes, ask employees about them, but no one seems to know what they do. I'm thinking that it enabled automatic call to voicemail. But when people call me they get an error message that says my number is invalid.
After calling Sprint customer support repeatedly for days, they continue to tell me its a network issue. I have opened two tickets, neither have resolved the issue with advanced technical support, and it's been almost a week now.
Sprint basically said there is no option but to -possibly- (like all the other stupid things they told me might fix the issue) change my number. But basically, they can't do anything at this point and they're forcing me to change my number permanently.
Does anyone know what might be going on or have an idea? yes my phone is rooted and I use custom roms, radios, etc. But I doubt my radio is broken because of it or that it's a software/hardware issue. It seems to be very much a network issue. Any clues?
Unacceptable. They should be paying for this months service. Don't change your number! Keep calling until you get someone who is knowledgeable.
Can you disable forwarding? Have you asked them? Ask them if they can do a whole reset on the network.

When I update my voicemail settings, or call forwarding, I get a "Unexpected response fron network" error message. I called my provider (Rogers) and said it appears to be correct on their system... However, it doesn't seem so because when people call me, they get forwarded to Google Voice... I already uninstalled Google Voice, and it was taken out already, however, it still forwards to there which is a USA number and I'm in Canada, so people who call me get forwarded to a long distance number and it bothers me and them so much...
Rogers told me to contact HTC but I want to hear your solutions first guys... BTW, I'm using the Virtuous ROM (which is almost entirely stock packages)
Help?

did you use the star codes to disable call forwarding?

"Try sending ##21# which is the network code to cancel all forwarding."
Call Forwarding Problem
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix on Orange UK running Gingerbread. As soon as you go and look at the Call Forwarding options the phone indicates that all calls are Forwarded and the Icon top left turns on, disabling 'Foward All' shows disabled for a few seconds then comes back with the 'Unexpected reponse from network' message, although calls are not actually Forwarded (can still receive calls). Old SIM card, but OK in old V3x phone. I tried with a '3' Network SIM and all works as expected, so definitely an Orange problem with Android/Atrix. I called Orange who sent some SIM updates one of which failed, called them again and they decided to send me a new SIM but this has made no difference at all.
Only way to reset the indicator and message once on, is to enter ##21# which does the job.
Just an annoying Network bug but interested if anyone knows how to get Orange (and I guess T-Mobile) to do anything about this as it seems from other research to affect several different phone makes and models.
Same issue
I'm Having the same issue on Rogers with my Xperia ion....still ahven't sorted it out
Any Resolution to this issue? I have what appears to be an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Active from ATT and attempting to use my CRICKET SIM and I get this message.
I would like to find a way to send incoming "Private number" calls to voicemail, without downloading an app (with the security risks involved with this, as all apps I found want to read phone #, all of my contacts, and have access to the internet).
In Googling I found that on other, older, phones you could create a contact with "Private number" in the mobile phone field and select the "All calls to voicemail". I tried this on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4 and it doesn't seem to be working.
Is there another built-in procedure that works to accomplish this?
Or does anybody know an app that is not a security risk (i.e. does not request access to the internet and/or my phone and/or my contacts)?
BTW, these are the permissions that one of these Apps (this one called Calls Blacklist) is requesting:
DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS
SEND SMS MESSAGES
RECEIVE SMS
READ SMS OR MMS
EDIT SMS OR MMS
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL INTERNET ACCESS
READ CONTACT DATA
WRITE CONTACT DATA
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
INTERCEPT OUTGOING CALLS
MODIFY/DELETE USB STORAGE CONTENTS MODIFY/DELETE SD CARD CONTENTS
RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS
CHANGE WI-FI STATE
PREVENT TABLET FROM SLEEPING PREVENT PHONE FROM SLEEPING
MODIFY GLOBAL SYSTEM SETTINGS
CHANGE/INTERCEPT NETWORK SETTINGS AND TRAFFIC
DISPLAY SYSTEM-LEVEL ALERTS
You can't have an app send private calls to voicemail, but not be granted permission to see who is calling.
That would be like me saying to you; "I'm sorry sir, you're not appropriately dressed for this restaurant." over the phone.
Read reviews, not all of those apps are bad (some are though), and most of them will do exactly what you are looking to accomplish.
Security risks? The app kinda needs that information. You're better off not installing any apps as any of them could steal your valuable phone number.

Duh, of course, it's not listed above as one of the unneeded permissions above.
But none of these are even remotely needed to do the job:
INTERCEPT OUTGOING CALLS

How exactly could a reviewer know that the app author isn't selling all of my contacts to some spammer? The tenet of good security is to not leave the door open unecessarily.
Besides the fact that yet another app means yet another thing that can go wrong (battery drain, system instability, etc.)
Back to the original question: "Is there another built-in procedure that works to accomplish this?"

Get one that doesn't ask for those permissions then. You're so paranoid that maybe a smartphone just isn't for you. Ever thought of who could be hacking your Wi-fi? They could steal and intercept ANYTHING sent through your home internet.

If you're willing to install Google Voice (and really, it doesn't matter what permissions it asks for, you're running Google's OS which has access to EVERYTHING, so there's not much to think about) and switch to a Google Voice number, you can set it through the website settings that anonymous callers are directly routed to voicemail.

Yeah, the replies haven't been particularly helpful so far. It's not "paranoid" to at least question the security of these apps, although the most popular ones are most likely fine.
You have a point with the non-Voice number. There's also the "no-turning-back" solution of porting your existing number to Google Voice for $20, which would then fix the problem, but it's not particularly ideal unless you're 100% sold on GV.

Port your actual phone number to Google Voice and ask for a new one from the carrier. Thats what I did. I setup a contact in my phone with my old number and have it setup to send the caller ID as my old number. So any call to that number all display as "Personal Call". The carrier number is my "Work Number".
I actually have 2 Google Voice numbers and my normal Verizon one (3 total). One for Personal, one for my side Website business, and my normal job.
I don't restrict any callers but there are options in there for unknowns and the likes. At least you can setup CALL SCREENING, where it asks for the persons name. So I can answer ANY call, it will say, "Call from... Donut Marketing" and it gives me 2 options, 1 to take the call... and 2 to send to VM.
If you press 2, it then says, "Ok I've sent the caller to VM. Press STAR at any time to join the call". So if the VM is someone I WANT to speak with, I just pop in and say Hi. Most Marketers will shy away from leaving their name... no name, no call. They typically hang up immediately. Still prevents me from having to talk to them and try to get off the phone.
Even when they do leave me a Google Voice Mail, it gets translated to text and emailed to me so I can read it seconds after they've left it. Then just delete like a normal email.
Super easy.
You can probably also call up your carrier and say you are getting lots of Marketing calls from Unknown numbers and want them blocked. They'll probably want to charge you a fee... but maybe not.

how did you get verizon to port your number without killing your contract? i just called and they said its not possible.
Root call blocker does this.
My ATT cell service just got cut off and not going to be able to have it for a while but I am on wi-fi most of the time anyway.
It would be great if I was able to keep my old number but I dont think that is possible but at least can I do MMS and SMS and hopefully voice too from my phone over wi-fi alone with no data network?
I thought WhatsAPP was able to do this but I cant figure it out.
Any insight to this? Would prefer to use WhatsApp but if there are better alternatives I am all ears!
Thanks!
Ok thank you for that option! Can I also have WhatsApp working at the same time?

Ok great I will do this first to get back up with a "Real" number which will at least get me back up and running thank you!
And so I assume with my cell phone provider shut off this will only work on wi-fi. But cant I buy a wireless hotspot from another carrier and have it in my pocket and have the phone using that as a wi-fi hotpost and it should work anywhere the hotspot works right?

Ok thanks for the heads up. So I already had Google Voice from long ago but never used it and went to the Google Voice website and it asked me to download the dialer to my phone so I did and it allowed me to place outgoing calls which is fine. I called my friend and he said the caller ID did not show up it was "unidentified" on my Google Voice page it gives me a "Your access number" is that my phone number that people can call my phone on because he tried and it does not work says call cannot be completed as dialed.

You got kakaotalk in the play store that has phone calls and texts for free over wifi, but I'm not sure if it asks for your phone number for a confirmation text message. Also, there is hangouts that has texts and video/voice calls and it doesn't need your phone number at all. Just wifi, only the other person needs to be on hangouts as well.

Remember! if your Alliance manager FCs, just delete the "Alliance" folder in your SDcard then re-open the Alliance manager app.

There is nothing wrong with my phone it is just the cell service is disabled, the wi-fi and BT work fine. Can I just go to another carrier and get a prepaid SIM or does my Note4 need to be unlocked and if so is there an unlock we can do or needs to go to unlocking place?

Well actually if you have a current acount with no leins, you can just port the number over for a small fee. And if you want to close said cell phone acount and keep that number for Google voice you can do that too.
International rates do apply at a very small cost from what I understand. You can definitely do it I just don't know if it will be cheaper for you or not I'm sure youl be able to find the price chart for the region they're in.

Yes I am aware of that. My issue is that I have a large balance on that number so I realize when I can pay that balance I will. But in the meantime I am wanting to get a Google Voice or other number to work on that phone while the service is turned off, to work over WI-FI. I have seen people do it before I just dont know how they were doing it (may have not been Google Voice)

OK never-mind I figured it out. I am up and running on my phone that was just shut off from ATT with a huge bill by:
1. Getting an app that will allow me to send and receive text and voice call for free and will allow you to view your unique phone number.
2. Sign up for Google Voice.
3. Put the number in Google Voice from step one.
4. Download "Google HANGOUTS DIALER" from Google Play store. It fully supports MMS and SMS texts and calls in and out!
5. Set default text and call apps to "Hangouts Dialer" and you are all set!
SUPER happy about this. No more cell bill ever! :laugh:
