Not google. Voicemail of your provider!

I already look for that.
I dont think you can.
Voice mail is the best choice you have.

some japanese android phones(like my sh-12c) have build in answering machine , not sure but maybe someone already made some good port !?
u can set the answering machine time when to pickup and to 3 different modes (normal,drive and manner)
there is an example video http://app-coming.jp/ja/articles/detail/64
i really love this function and miss this on my galaxy note T_T

Yes that would be great i used to have this on my Simbian phones voice mails are recorded straight to your device
someone attempted this on windows mobile but not Android yet (perhaps to many restrictions )

I was also looking for this type of application recently. Used to love this on my symbian but was shocked when i realised this had not been done fro droid as yet.

Is there a reason why it seems "impossible" on Android? Many of us have to PAY for voicemail and PAY with our minutes for retrieving voicemail!
And to those who would replay that this is a legal/privacy issue (like I've read elsewhere), I say, why should I trust my voicemail to my phone company or, God forbid, to Google?

Ridiculous omission
I want the same thing for my Note2, and for my S2 before that. It is a complete joke that Android does not have it built in. It is one area where Symbian is superior to Android. At the moment my only options are to have my provider turn off voicemail and refuse all messages, or to have them pile up which is incredibly inconvenient - if I have a meeting with somebody and they leave me a message there is no way I can go through a dozen messages to get to the latest one (especially without pen and paper to hand). Not to mention my provider does not even give me the phone number of the person that left the voicemail.
I've been waiting years for a simple voicemail app. It's pathetic one hasn't appeared. Even my Sony Z5 had it over a decade ago.

Voice mail is not the solution especially in India, I tried to pull the trick using tasker, but android had two audio channels n thus I failed, need it badly though

so my already saying in the "sh-12c root thread" lets make an own answering machine apk based on the japanese sharp one which worked fine for me in germany.
if everyone have same network talk flatrate and just my answering machine app take the call instead of me and record the saying... its free for everyone. ..
ill post the dumped files here again later.

and again I'm not alone in this search...yeah I'm a precious symbian user too
and here I was thinking that I'm prolly not using the right keywords to search
BTW we even had a software to set up an IVR on our phone in symbian

Count me in, I tried a couple of apps... They don't work quite as you expect though

+1 for answering machine app.
Sadly, I don't think it's an option on regular Androids due to either hardware or programming constraints. Doubt it's due to lack of user interest.
Hmmmm, maybe it's conspiracy by telco provides so they can rake in more $$$$.? (reaches for tin foil hat)
Again, for the benefit of the head scratchers out there ... Voicemail is NOT a free god given right to all phone users in the world. It costs money with some service providers. Hence the desire for "in phone" answering machine application.

hullo mail is a voice mail app that I use. It works in Ireland, the UK and America I think.

Answering machine\Voicemail App?

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any app around that does the work of an answering machine. An app that will probably answer the call after a specific amount of rings and save the callers' message on the SD card. This was an idea I got from a few years ago when we were discussion open software for cellphones. I'd love to know if it's already been done.
Thanks.
Anyone know of such an app?
google voice ??
I would vote for YouMail.
It actually downloads your VM messages from the "cloud" and stores them on your SD card.
It also has other nice features.
Best of all, everything is FREE!!!
I also use youmail its the best app out there for voice and its free vzw charges 2.99 for their visual voicemail.

Airvoice, but it does not work on my desire... Anyone know of anything else?
I use Hullomail.. you can tell it to use your gmail account as storage which is handy because if I miss call when I'm at my computer I can just play the message on my PC...

I haven't seen any such app yet. The apps mentioned in this thread are different.
What is asked for is a voicemail on the phone itself, not any 3rd party who stores your voicemail for you, after which you can download it.
No, what is asked for is an actual app on the phone that actually functions as a voicemail/answering machine and stores the voicemail directly on the sd card. Without redirecting the call to a 3rd party, and without requiring an internet connection anywhere in the process from accepting the voicemail to playing the voicemail.
But there is no such app, to my knowledge.

A stand-alone app like this would be pretty sweet actually. I think the phone providers would be a little ticked if someone were to write an app like this. I would buy it as i don't subscribe to an answering service on my cell (separate monthly charge for my plan.) Most of these 3rd party (cloud) services don't work in my region.

Waiting for some developer to answer our questions and explain if this is even possible or not :-s
Hi all
I'm looking now for 1 Year for this kind of answer machine.
the only one that do that is until now ---> Airvoice
But, the developer stoped developing this app since HTC Hero.
So it works only on HTC Hero.
Look at the Market for Airvoice,and send, like me, a email to the Developer. Maybe he will finaly start again developing this app!

xperia phones have this feature integrated, so maybe with a port... tested on gf xperia m2 stock. i'm searching for something like it for months, i'll pay for this kind of app.

[Q] What is the point in Google Voice?

Yes ive searched, and ive done research, but I use it for voicemail right now. Would getting a number benefit me at all? Btw i dont pay for my plan so that doesnt even matter

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)
Does this help to answer your question?

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

SIP Client/Voip on Lumia

Hi All,
I am just 2days away from ordering my Lumia and I do a check to find my essential apps I used on my android phones.
One BIG app that I rely upon is a SIP client to make voip calls. This is really a deal breaker for me because I call upto 30mins a day internationally and cannot spend a fortune on it. I looked up everywhere and cannot find it for Mango.
Is it possible that I am mistaken, please someone help me with this and find an app that can be configured with a SIP provider like Actionvoip or Freecall.
I hope someone proves me wrong

Don't think it's completely what you require but how about Voxofon?
Hi just saw that app but they are a voip provider with their own app. So you cannot use their app for any voip service.
That's really sad news . Thanks for the help though.
anyone else pleaaaaaaseeeeeeee
there's a Gtalk client I believe...
Reply from Counterpath Bria :-
Currently there is no plan to develop any client for WP7. There are some issues with WP7 platform for VOIP applications (that may be the reason why there are no SIP apps currently).

Oh No. That answers the biggest problem. There is an app called Gchat but I think it is more like a Jabber client which does not have any way to even buy credit from Google and use it for outgoing calls on data
Ok since there is no client available I had to find a work around to do international calls. Only thing that I found worthy of mention was this provider called Rebtel which uses your local calls plus their local access number to make international calls.
I tried it and the voice clarity sounds fantastic. Only that I will need to spend on the local minutes too while I spend some money on their international rates. Even then call rates remain nominal and not something like 30c/min.
I will stick to this until MS brings out the required API for voip. Damn Microsoft come on bring out something. At least Skype so that I can buy credit and call from there
I'm using Freecall with MobileVoip installed from Marketplace, it work fine except the voice is on speaker.

Great advice then. My Lumia arrives tomorrow and I am going to try configuring my SIP settings of Actionvoip.
Meanwhile can you tell me if that speaker voice can be routed into Earphones when I plug it in?
At least that way we can have a good work around and a solution to this problem.
mobilevoip
im using mobile voip app (free from market) with Voip Stunt but the quality is very bad..
I wish there are more apps like Fring, Nimbuzz or Skype. Microsoft promised Skype since september and still hasnt come out yet.
Yeah it is a damm shame. This is the one app that I miss from my Symbian days, I sure hope Microsoft steps up the plate and makes sip clients possible on WP7, preferrably before my next big holiday in october, otherwise I will be forced to take my Nokia N82 as well !

"answering machine" app

Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that works like an answering machine, allowing incoming calls to be recorded on the phone itself after hearing a prerecorded welcome message? I need this app for the Samsung Galaxy S3 to be used outside the US,
Thanks !

See if your provider offers visual voicemail...if not, check out "you mail" out some of the other visual voicemail apps on Google play.
That's about the closest I can think of...not only can you just hit play on your device without calling, but you also get a text transcript of each message as it comes through.

Hey,
Thanks for the help. My carrier offers voicemail but with no visual interface, that's why I'm looking for a application to replace it. and Youmail does not work in my country...
any other suggestions?...
Thanks !
Try Hullomail. That definitely works outside of the US, as I'm using it in the UK.

This may sound crazy but you can use Google Voice for this very application.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
OK, I have done a little thread cleaning....I would rather not close this thread, so let's try a reset.
I think everybody knows that not every application is available in all locations...well now you do
So let's not get upset when somebody suggests something that you can't use. I just checked the Italian version of the play store and there are numerous Voicemail and Answering Machine apps for download. Personally if it isn't inverted (black background, white text) I don't want it.
So if i may recap.
The search is for an App on the phone(or tablet) that will answer for you and then play a message after that it will record what is been said on the other side of
the line.
So no redirecting calls to another number that records it so I/we don't also have to call that number to hear the messages.
I have also tried several from the "Google Play" market/store but i cannot find one that works correctly (i.e. clear sounds is a must for me personally, which all of them lack. If i want it on speaker to record i can just use my 1980 tape recorder next to it )
Oh just to clarify this is NOT about voice-mail!
An answering machine was used with landlines for when you'd be away.
Check this out, wiki about Answering machines.
And to clarify some more here is a wiki about voice-mail
Here are some of the suggestions (sorry if i miscredited anyone please PM me so i can fix it )
Hullomail (kingvortex)
Google Voice (marty331)
Visual voicemail - Check if your provider has an app (ryanshew)
Youmail (ryanshew)
I have looked at all suggestions above, but that's all voice-mail as far as i can see. (Checked websites and info if not clear enough, didn't actually try it out).
So if I'm wrong please let me know and i will research it further.
Hope this clears up some misunderstandings I have come to see in my 4 year hunt for a descent "Answering Machine app".
(Also looked for it when I had Windows Mobile but that was not possible on the phone i had then. Hardware related and such.
I'm developing an App that do this and it's called "LVoicemail": http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/app-lvoicemail-t3485750/page1

[req} Call Screener / Answering Machine

Hi All,
So this idea is from a Sanyo flip phone I had way back in the day on Sprint. Granted, it's not the most useful thing in the world, but it would be nice for times when you want to know why someone is calling before you answer the phone.
There was an option where after 4 rings the phone would answer play a locally stored greeting, then record a message locally. Now, the helpful part to me was the fact that (unless I hit a button to mute it) it would play the outgoing and incoming messages where I could hear them. Being this was several years ago, it couldn't play it over Bluetooth, which with better technology on both the device and headset ends, that would be possible. (My Motorola Elite Flip, for example)
But I'd like to see it go a step further, and make this a full featured answering / auto response system.
Say you're driving, and someone calls you, you hear the message they're leaving via your hands-free (either in car or headset) and decide you need to take the call. Instead of pressing a button, just say "Answer it". Or say "Ignore it" and the answering system would mute, the phone audio would return to whatever you had on previously, be it music or sat nav.
Similarly, if someone sends you a text, you could have it read to you on TTS, then the app would ask "Would you like to reply?" You could say "No" and the app would send a canned message ("I'm driving. I'll get back to you soon." or something similar), or say "Yes" then dictate your message by speech recognition.
With this, an auto filter would also be handy. Numbers not in your phone book, or numbers you set as black list, are automatically sent to the screener, while other contacts are not.
I think greetings should also get some options as well, like the option to have different greetings for different callers, or different caller groups, and the option to either record your greeting, or write one to be played to callers by TTS.
I've seen apps that do bits and pieces of this idea, but nothing that consolidates them, and the apps I've tried don't work very well, and they don't have the right feel. This app should be something that would feel like it was included stock on Android. Clean, simple, and intuitive.
Anyone interested in a project?
Apologies for any typos. I can't find my reading glasses.
Just sign up for a google voice number. It has call screening and press 4 for recording mode.

Some of the places I go for service calls are out of range of a data network, and if there is one, it's only EDGE, which isn't really going to work for GV. I used GV for a short while and wasn't very impressed with it.

Nokia's are good devices, but Samsung is better. Wish I could get my hands on one app that can do what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for an app which will let me:
Say someone phones me. It rings a couple times then they have to say their name. I will then hear their message of their name and can choose to ignore it or answer it accordingly.
Is this what this app is?

I was recently looking for an app that did this but i cant find a decent one. I had this feature on my first color flip phone back in the day and i wondered why it wasnt available today. Its really useful. Im not a developer or id be heping you out with this project please let me know if you ever make it happen. Good luck.
I think with android limitations ...u cant play the greeting to the Caller. So i guess the app would be for rooted Phones only.
..Even with a rooted phones.. An app wont do the purpose. becoz u need to to do some framework changes.
I think u are going to need a MOD which can be flashed from recovery.
I am ready to donate for this app or Mod. or do it my self if someone guides me with some Links ..+1
