I love my phone but there are still a few things I miss from my old T-Mobile Dash. The main thing right now is the ability to set the ringtone for "unknown" callers to silent. Does anyone know how to do this? I'd also like to set it so it rolls directly to voicemail (which would take care of the ringer problem anyway). As far as I can tell, there's no way to add "Unknown" to your contacts from the call list and I haven't found any other setting that would do it.

Any help with this would be MUCH appreciated!!

Bump

I have the same issue. I need for "Unknown" callers to go directly to voicemail.

I don't even have an Android yet, but I already know I'll be needing something like this. In my case, I'd like the Android to vibrate on unknowns, ring on knowns, or maybe just have a lower volume on the unknowns.

I would love to see something like this Photo Contact Pro.

I know this is a lot.. but it was just the perfect application on my Windows Mobile Devices and I have to admit I miss it!

With features like:

Easily assign distinctive Ringtones and distinctive SMS Tones to contacts

Photo Contacts PRO features easy to use Ring Tone and SMS Tone Managers that let you preview and assign distinctive ringtones (MP3, WMA, MID, WAV formats) and SMS tones to contacts, contact groups and Unknown and Private callers on your phone (see screenshot).


With distinctive SMS Tones you will instantly know who the text message is from

Distinctive SMS sounds (MP3, WMA, WAV formats) can be used for individual contacts, groups or unknown senders.
NEW in v5.08 - Quickly find and dial your contacts with one hand (see screenshot)

*

Intelligent Search Keypad allows you to quickly find contacts with only a few finger presses
*

Favorite Contacts Button makes speed dialing a breeze
*

Vertical Letter Bar allows you to jump to contacts starting with a desired letter quickly by sliding your finger

The program also enables you to start using contact categories to group your favorite contacts.


See clearly who is calling you. Our advanced Photo Caller ID technology uses full screen photographs and large text for caller id information:

*

Business Photo Caller ID shows a large picture of the caller together with the name, company and number of the person calling in large text. (see screenshot)
*

Full Screen Photo Caller ID shows a large, easy to see photograph of the incoming caller (see screenshot)
*

Standard Picture Photo Caller ID shows a photo of the person calling in the regular caller id bubble
*

Extra Large text shows easily readable Caller ID information even if a photo is not assigned to a contact

Additionally our Photo Caller ID technology adds the following buttons to the incoming call screen:

*

Silence - silence the ring of an incoming call without rejecting the call
*

Speakerphone Answer - answer the call automatically activating speakerphone mode
*

Reject with SMS - reject a call and send a quick SMS to the caller

Call favorite contacts, return calls and control phone profiles right from your Today Screen

Our Today Screen plugin enables you to place pictures of your Favorite Contacts right on the Today Screen for quick dialing. The program will log Recent Callers with pictures (for fast re-dialing) as well as show Active Profile information and Battery and Memory status right on the Today screen (see screenshot).
Never be disturbed in a meeting by your cell phone again!

Photo Contacts PRO 5 adapts your phone to your schedule by automatically switching profiles (see screenshot):

*

Automatic Profiles detect meetings and appointments and automatically switch profiles (to change settings such as ring volume/type) when appropriate
*

Profile Scheduler - take full control of the phone and incoming calls by creating a schedule that automatically switches phone profiles based on hours, days, calendar.
*

Timed Temporary Profiles enable you to quickly switch to a certain profile temporarily (to Silent for 2 hours when in a cinema for example), automatically switching back after the time passes. They also feature a Ringtone/SMS tone override enabling you to utilize an extra loud ring when needed.

The Photo Contacts PRO Today Screen plug-in lets you easily switch profiles or set temporary profiles with a single tap.


Complete Privacy - Automatically Block (Reject or Hang Up) unwanted callers including Unknown and Private numbers with the new Advanced Call Filter with Profiles.


Fully integrated per contact and per category Call Filtering allows users to specify the following settings to incoming calls:

*

Reject: The call is automatically rejected and the caller is sent to Voicemail
*

Hang Up: The call is automatically hanged up (caller just hears a ‘click’ as if the line did not exist)
*

Reject+SMS: The call is automatically rejected and an SMS message is sent to the caller’s mobile number
*

Silent: The call is permitted to come through but the ring is silent
*

Vibrate: The call is permitted to come through with vibrate
*

Bypass: The call is allowed to bypass the call filter in case of a global setting

Advanced Phone Profiles

Fully customizable Phone Profiles let the user group and personalize Call Filtering, Ringtone, SMS Tone, Ring Volume Ring Type, SMS Volume, SMS Type, Bluetooth and System Sound settings.

The program is bundled with useful pre-defined phone profiles such as:

* Meeting (set to vibrate only)
* Family Only (allow only family members to call)
* Outdoor (Loud, Vibrate)
* Indoor (Quiet ring)
* Reject Unknown (rejects private and unknown numbers)
* Reject All Calls
* + others and fully custom profiles

The program also includes pre-defined Automatic Profiles that can also be fully customized:

* Auto-Meeting (Automatically sets the phone to vibrate when it detects a meeting in your calendar)
* Silent Sleep (Automatically silences the phone during late hours)
* Standard Workday (a fully featured auto-profile includes scheduled profile changes based on a daily schedule and meetings in your calendar)

Bluetooth can be enabled/disabled via a profile, temporary profile or an automatic profile saving you precious battery power.

Simply tap twice on a contact photograph on the Today Screen or in Photo Contacts PRO to easily place a call - no need to use a stylus.
Quick SMS Messaging. Quickly send custom or pre-defined SMS messages - simply double tap on a contact picture (see screenshot).
SMS Answering Machine integrated with profiles. Automatically Reject and send an SMS message to callers notifying them you're busy.


When you get an SMS, see the picture of the sender. Our SMS Picture ID will show you a picture of the sender when you receive an instant message.


Browse contacts with pictures and style - 4 fully featured and intelligently designed contact views make browsing contacts a pleasure (see screenshot)


Send Email, SMS messages and contact photographs via email


Assign photos to contacts easily by choosing photos taken by the phone's camera, loading pictures from Outlook or by transferring photos from your PC

Crop and adjust contact photos directly on the Pocket PC with the awesome photo Adjust Engine (see screenshot)


Never loose your contact-to-photo associations and assign many photos to contacts at once with SmartNameTM

With our SmartName technology, you can easily assign many photos to contacts at once on your PC. The associations are easily backed up so you never have to repeat this task if you hard-reset your device or get a new one.

For example, assign the "family" category to your contacts and easily combine and view family photos in Photo Contacts PRO
Find contacts fast using the intelligent contact search that lets you filter by contact name, company, title - or home, work or mobile telephone numbers when you search for contacts (see screenshot)

Ok, if you sign up for Google Voice, you can screen unkown callers before they even reach your phone, require the caller to say their name and number, and once you have their number, you can tell GV to never send that number to your phone, only voicemail. You can even give them a custom voicemail, like, "message #41 - the number you are calling is no longer in service. AT&T", and then just hang up on them automatically! Try GV! You can use it with your current number, or you can get a new number that will call as many phones as you want. It's by invite only right now, I MIGHT have one invite left if someone needs one. GV will also let you send sms through its service for free. they've got an app that will pop up and ask if you want to use GV or your phone for the SMS. You can also set it up to basically call ANY number and not use up minutes. If you put your GV number into your Friend's and Family list, then the GV app automatically takes over on a call, and you are actually calling GV, that then calls your number. Sound quality is excellent, and it works pretty darn well.

I found an app called callfilter in the market. I have a droid and it seems to work great for unknown and private calls, sends them straight to voice mail. Even better is that it was free to install. Hope this helps outs.

Yea, using CallFilter here too, can't fault it. You can also add known numbers too it as well.
