my phone only rings about 3 times before diverting to voicemail, so if (as is usual) my phone is in another room plugged in to the charger, it gets diverted to voicemail just as i'm picking it up to answer it. this is very annoying.
anyone know of an android app that works like an old fashioned land-line answering machine, i.e.
1. answers the call after X rings
2. plays a short message, that I can record like "leave a message after the beep"
3. starts recording, saving to sdcard AND playing on the phone's speaker
and, most importantly:
4. allows me to pick up the call during the recording. i don't really care if it continues to record the conversation from this point or not.
a search on the google play store for 'call screening' or 'answering machine' just gets a shitload of garbage.

Well one could ask why is such technology (an answering machine) not built into the hard ware; answer : because voicemail is a nice little earner, which suggests that mobile phones will not be designed to allow, the easy implementation of 'an answering-machine app' further rant/ 'rational- producer/ retailers are interested in selling rational-consumers; what they have to sell, not what rational-consumers want, as that requires market research' /end further rant regards Rohan McLeod
