Does the Tilt 2 have a feature like Visual Voicemail on the iPhone?
It does not out of the box but I have been using an app from Market Place called Fusion Voicemail and it has been working pretting good. Although it there is room for improvement it overall works as expected. When a caller leaves a voicemail, the Fusion Voicemail app will launch and show you visually who left a voicemail, if you click on it, it will launch Media Player and play the voicemessage through the speakerphone. If you need to listen to the voicemail in a more private way (through earpiece instead of speaker) then you need to call the voicemail as you would traditionally. This app will also allow you to receive faxes to your Tilt2 which I thought was pretty neat.
I looked into this and sprint charges 20c a minute for "voicemail" forwarding. I hope googlevoice comes up with a slick windows mobile app soon that will include it.

Is Fusion the only thing currently available?
The best solution in my opinion is Google Voice. Sign up for a beta invite (it took me 2 days to get mine). Once get you in, add your mobile phone. Then set your mobile phone's voice mail number to your Google Voice number. Boom! You now get 100% visual voice mail for free and it kicks ass.
You can have it send you emails or sms. No extra application, no monthly fee. I'm loving it.

I do this is as well. Set Google Voice to "Do Not Disturb" and be sure to uncheck any numbers you have in "Forwards to". This will only add 1 ring to your existing number of rings before voicemail, which is reasonable.
The transcriptions aren't 100%, but its easy enough to call your GV number and listen so I couldn't be happier with it.

+2 This is what I use but I still would like a real google app to support, would be great to integrate into a panel on WM6.5, Manila or SPB 3.5.
try youmail. It's free, sends me an email and a text message. You can configure it multiple ways and I can play voicemail through my email or dial the number and listen.
Youmail is free as long as you don't want transcription.
still waiting for my googlevoice invite

thanks. I took the option of using my own tele number rather than a google number. i don't think I need the other services. I then programmed the google vm access number into my phone so now when I press the VM icon in SPB it takes me to the GoogleVM rather than the ATT provided VM.
So, now I will get text msgs. of each voicemail. This is cool but I was under the impression that I would have a running list of numbers on my phone, numbers of callers in the VM (EDIT: THIS DOES OCCUR IF YOU USE THREADED SMS) and that I could access them individually, in order or otherwise. I can do that but I have to be on my internet googlevoice account to accomplish it.
Yeah i wish there was a native App for this !
Someone please come up with one. PLEASE.

when you sign up it gives you the option of using your original number or taking a google number. The google number is what allows all of your numbers to ring on all phones...home, office, cell, etc.... I don't need that.
GoogleVoice syncs with Outlook so when i get home tonight I will sync it and then the text messages should actually display my known callers (in my address book) by name rather than just number.
Now, what is funny is that I get 5 to 10 voicemails a day, normally. Since I installed GV, my phone has only rung one time and I answered. No voice mails. It is working though because I tested it with a call from my office.
Google Voice
Man already had Google Voice and didn't do this, set it up and finally visual voicemail.
Thanks a lot.

They just added this feature like today.
Hello,
When I used Windows Mobile I had and app that could filter and block call. I could add some phones to my blacklist (so if I received an call from this number it would block it) whitelist and I could also send some pre-wrote SMS when receiving a call.
So if I were on a meeting and someone called me, I could send him a SMS saying "This is an auto response: I'm in a meeting right now and I'll call you back when it finishes." I could do this direclty in the answering screen. I could "Answer" the call, "reject" and "ignore and send SMS"
Does anyone knows if we have a similar app for Android? Couldn't find it in the Android market.
Thanks
I'm not sure about the auto-SMS feature, but the Galaxy S has a built-in feature to block calls from certain numbers.
I m looking for the same. I did found the app AutoResponder whitch sends a predefinded SMS to all incoming calls when the app is activated. Its not exactly what im looking for because im not able to choose on incoming call screen whether i want to send the SMS or not.

Yeah. With this Windows app that I had on my HTC Kaiser (one year ago... after that I used a Blackberry for sometime). I could choose which call I would answer with SMS. I could see who was calling and decide to answer, ignore or send the SMS.

Sending SMS to reject call is available on our SGS out of the box. When a call comes through, there is this little arrow at the bottom of the screen. Pull that up and you can see the list of auto-reject SMS messages. Click on 1 and your phone will reject the call and send out the SMS.
You can configure the list of messages under Settings->Call Settings->All Calls->Reject Call with Message
Hi,
for me "call & sms filter" from easyfilter works very well.
I can recommend it. And its for free.
Positive: has not only negative list but also positive list (block all except....).
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy

Finally got around to use my Sprint number as GV number. This adds an option to send/receive text from GV. Way cool that I was able to text with just a wifi connection while in Dominican Republic w/o phone service.
Back in states now and I get sms twice, once in native app and once in gv... along with two notifications. Would like to use native sms and notifications, but can't figure out how to disable GV text notifications w/o also disabling vm notifications. Is it possible?
Options are for checkbox "notify via text msg" which I assume means a text msg will be sent to ur phone when u have gv vm/sms( which I've never gotten)? And the other option is to have status bar notifications, but I think that will disable both sms and vm status bar notifications.
Guess I could just disable notifications from native app, and uncheck send sms to this phone from gv on the pc?
Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?

"Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?"
the google voice app will change once u enable integration. You no longer need to use the "call using google voice" option because it will automatically use gv to make long distance calls for you. Billing for this is done through your google account NOT your sprint account and it no longer requires data (wifi or 3g) to call using gv.
It's integrated.
Regarding your notifications:
Menu -> More -> Settings -> sync and notifications
uncheck "synch inbox"
check "notify via text messages"
All text messages will now come through your native sms client only.
Of course you can still view your text in the gv app by forcing a refresh as well.

Lot's of settings from the PC and GV app, hard to understand how thew all work together? Tried lot's of combinations...
Think I'm gonna stop using native sms app and just use gv for all sms and vm. Nice that it keeps a log of all (both in and out) across all devices. And you don't have to restore sms after a fresh flash and wipe.
Does seem to be somewhat of a delay sending sms from gv. How do other's have it set up?
Can gv do mms?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
For now on the PC:
Under phone.. uncheck receive text
Under vm/text..uncheck email and sms notifications to phone
Under native app...notifications off (will gv pick up inbound mms)?
Under gv app..sync inbox, uncheck notify via text msg, and check inbox notifications
Does that sound about right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I think you're confusing yourself a bit...and me as well. What is it EXACTLY that u want to happen?
Do u want to receive text using the gv app or the native messaging app?
I receive all notifications through my native app only. I do this because you can only receive mms messages through the native app (GV does NOT work with mms).
I also receive vm notifications through my native app. However, in open the gv app to listen to them. This is the only reason I use the gv app.
If this sounds like what u want then do the following:
PHONE:
Synch inbox - unchecked
Text Msg - checked (btw..this option is the same as checking "receive texts messages on this phone" from the pc).
PC (voice.google.com) :
under voicemail - "Send a text (SMS) message to Cell" - checked
under phone - "Receive text messages on this phone" - checked (AGAIN...this is the same as checking "Text Messages" on the GV app on your phone)
Hope this helps.
Thanks! It helps a lot understanding that some of the gv app settings on the phone are the same as google.com/voice.
Yeah... way confusing. Started out as a cool way to get sms while overseas. When I came back it was weird to get double notifications and seeing some sms show up in the native app and some in GV. I think it would be a lot easier if GV had a way to differentiate between sms and vm notifications, but it appears its all or nothing. Options, to summarize:
1. Your way: all sms/mms and associated notifications come through native app. VM notifications also come to you as a text message, and you then open up GV to view/listen to vm. Question: Does GV keep a log of all your incoming/outgoing text messages?
2. My proposed way: all sms and vm and their notifications are handled by GV. MMS bypasses gv and I get the mms and notification in the native app (I turned native notifications back on). All incoming/outgoing sms messages are logged in GV (even text sent from native app) AND available across all my devices (Nook Color and google.com/voice)... which is kind of cool because I can pick up the conversation w/o my Epic. It's just weird how GV app breaks down the conversations... I've got like four different threads each containing several sms to/from Missy. Don't understand why they're not all combined as conversation with Missy.
So clear as mud... still interested in how others have it set up?
Yeah, I really hate how gv does message threading too...that's y I use the native app. Hopefully they upgrade the app soon. When they do I'll switch over completely.
All incoming text messages are recorded in gv whether u receive it in the native app or not. I'm not sure about outgoing though. I believe they are recorded too but the only way to know for sure is to test it yourself.
is there a way to blacklist with the stock messaging app? i dont really want to download a app that says its a blacklist app, know what i mean? im wanting to keep this a secrect in case someone(girlfriend/wife) goes though my phone.

I want to say you can get Sprint to add them to a blacklist.
On another note... You got a girlfriend and a wife?!

you can do it yourself on the sprint website
Block or restrict text messaging services:
Sign in to My Sprint with valid username and password at www.sprint.com.
Click the My Preferences tab.
Under Limits and Permissions, click Block texts.
Click on the phone or device to restrict text messages.
Choose from the following options to block or restrict texts:
Do not block any text messages
Block all text messages inbound and outbound
Block all inbound text messages
Block all outbound text messages
Block only these numbers for inbound and outbound text messages
Allow only these numbers for inbound and outbound text messages
not understanding your question fully...do you want to block calls and texts...or hide calls and texts?...Go SMS Pro has a private box with password for texts
I have found no way of doing this on stock or rooted/modded app.. but the best alternative will be to download chomp sms... It's free and she would need to go through the settings just to find it which will be to much for her/them...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415412 Check this app out. It blocks anything.
actually there is a way to do it. ill explain how i did it. im sure there are alternative ways "better,faster" but this is the one i know. i downloaded launcher pro just to do it and then uninstalled launcher pro after i was done. open launcher pro amd create a shortcut on the home screen. scroll down to mms setup or provisioning, i cant remember for sure. that will open to a sub category and when u see the blacklist option pick that as your shortcut. now just launch it from your new shortcut and choose what #s u want to blacklist. this has worked for me since i got my e4gt. good luck, veritasaequita

Send calls to voicemail
On the Evo you used to be able to select a contact and choose to automatically send calls to voicemail when that person called. That was good for bill collectors so I could just send it voicemail without it even ringing. Does anybody know how to do that with this phone?
get hide it pro...
Works wonders ...its in the market..you can hide SMS ...all calls from blacklisted contact have incoming calls go straight to VM and it has a dope interface that no one but you knows how to access
Am a small business owner and need to be able to access incoming and outgoing texts while on a cruise. WhatsApp seems to require the other party to be signed up which is not always the case. Is there another way around this besides buying the high-priced cellular plan? For example can I forward my phone to Google Voice and receive messages this way over WiFi?

What I can suggest is one of those free voip services that give you an actual phone number. In Canada we have Fongo, lets you receive and send texts to and from your assigned number as long as you have a working Internet connection. There has to be something similar where you are. You can even probably sign up for Fongo where you are, you'll just have a Canadian area code.

You already have 3 things:
- smartphone
- Google Voice
- Hangouts
You're missing just this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer
after that you'll have unlimited texting, SMS, incoming and outgoing calls, voice mail - and all those absolutely free...
p.s. after installing go into the above mentioned application setting menu and check two check-boxes for incoming calls and SMS..
