I use a lot the function forward calls.
Is it possible to create a profile that will forward all phone calls to a specific number?
Yes.
The problem is, you'll have to write software that enables profiles in the first place..
Call forwarding is really placing a call to some *21*[number]# thing..
On my Siemens ME45, I've made three contacts in my contactlist:
Forward all: *21*12345678#
Forward with dealy: **61*12345678**30#
Cancel forwaring: ##21#
That's my workaround..
(The codes are tested and work on NetCom - Norway
Contact your telcom for the correct codes..)

Can anyone please advise on setting my Himalaya as a pager(through SMS)??? Can't seem to find any posts on this specific topic. Thanks in advance for the help
Interesting.. how do you suppose to do that? Disable your ability to receive phone call? But still able to receive SMS?
Hmmm.. interesting.. maybe you can do
(1) Make your ring tone silent (e.g. use a silent WAV as ring tone) but put a loud and long WAV for your SMS.
(2) Use the divert call feature, Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call forwarding. Check "Forward all incoming phone call to", and put in a fake number. So, when anyone tries to call you, they will be diverted into the fake number. (e.g. for girls whom are getting irritating calls, you can use this method). However, you still have your SMS working.
Another option (not every phone has this, but WM5 seems to have) would be Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call Barring -> Block Incoming calls.
Better test your thing before really using it (e.g. try SMS it). Haven't try these technique yet.
Anyway, pity that this phone is being used as a pager though. It is like buying a refrigerator use it as a cupboard.

I probably phrased my question poorly. I wanted to be able to receive a page as an SMS message . I meant to do that in addition to the phone/email connections. Didn't mean to suggest to disable the phone at all. Thanks
You'll be needing an app on this page http://sharewareconnection.com/titles/alpha-paging.htm
SNPP protocol is available on the GSM band naturally, but you will need special session/application software for compiling data for use on the protocol.
I doubt you can do that. Firstly, you will need a station/provider to have a paging service, so you will have a page station for people to call to, you also need them (provider) to send you the signal. And, I'm pretty sure that you can't just accept any pager signal easily with a standard consumer devices and some cool software (esp that you still want the phone feature) as there are security features built into the page signal for better data transfer efficiency and privacy.
I think you will be carryign a pager for a while
I'm a little confused on SIP setup, mainly regarding the backend services (trunk / pbx ??). Anyone care to lay it out for a noob and possibly somewhere i can look at pricing for a single number w/ outbound calling abilities?
Is there a way to configure my current Sprint number to make free calls over WIFI or simply where cell coverage does not exist but a WIFI connection does?
Thanks in advance....
Bumping for knowledge.... Does anyone in here know about SIP setup?
No, you can not. You'd need to forward your sprint calls to another number, or do the Sprint Google Voice integration then add another SIP phone number to google voice to ring at the same time.
that way when someone calls your sprint number, it's integrated with google voice, and rings your separate VOIP number as well..
Catch is, you'll have to pay for a voip/sip account somewhere that gives you a number to forward to.
Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.

After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters

Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
hello all
i am curious to know if there is a way to make my phone number private for certain contact. is there an app that makes my outgoing calls private? other than adding *67 to each contact.
i have a work phone that forwards all the incoming calls to my personal phone. there are times that i have to a followup call and i use my personal phone number. i have change my number 3 times in the past 4 month. any suggestion will be appreciated. thank you.
*67 then number you want to dial for example *67-(555)-555-5555

Have you tried Google Voice? You can call clents from that number and control access on how and when it can notify(I love the call block feature) you.
I believe the phones also have an automatic prepend feature (normally adds the +1 for dialing) I think you can change it to whatever you want (e.g *67)
The only thing I know to do is either, add *67 each time or change their contact information to include it.
Alternatively you can have it added to your phone at the Sprint level. It unfortunately is not select-able and will make all calls private. The problem with that, I found, was MANY people won't answer blocked calls.
Hi I apologise in advance if I am posting in the wrong place or I'm just being a numpty.
I suspect it's me being dumb that's the problem but when someone rings one of my 2 SIMs in my Xiaomi Note5Plus with Global ROM from Xiaomi not flashed, I cannot see from the screen which SIM the incoming call is on. OK, I have 2 different ring tones set-up and that is fine but on silent/no vibration or if I miss the call, it's a real nuisance not knowing which SIM received the call. As an example, if I make a call to each of the SIMs from another mobile, then my phone just shows that I have had 2 calls from that mobile, rather than one call on each SIM from that mobile.
My old THL2015 did this automatically and so I could always tell what was going on.
The reason that this is particularly important for me is that SIM1 is for use by everyone who calls me and SIM2 is my back up line. If someone calls me, I need to know (if they are not in my contact list) whether this is a "real" call or a junk call on SIM2.
Hope all that makes sense and one of you kind people can suggest a Settings solution or an app please.
My thanks for any help offered.
