Cell phone automatic answer

Jan 12, 2005 10 Replies

Hello, I need help with an aspect of my senior design project. I need to call a cell phone and have it answer by itself. Thus enabling me to use the touch tones from anther phone to give commands to a computer which is next to the phone. What I need help with is getting a cell phone to answer by itself. If you have any ideas please help.


Your cellphone ships with an amusing accessory known as a user manual. Search through that user manual for the "Auto Answer" function, which almost all cellphones have. If yours does not, buy one that does.

Okay, I think you miss understood me... I need the cell phone to answer even when I am 1000 miles from the cell phone, not picking the cell phone up. Anotherwords, I call the phone from home and the phone answers from in the car with no one in the car. The computer next to the phone will process the tones from the touch tones frequencies and process the user commands into actions within the computer. The cell companies DO NOT have this "auto answering" feature. I say this because I have called all the companies I know about to find out for myself.

I found my answer. I need not your help. Thanks

Possibly a country that hasn't yet figured out how to detonate a bomb using a cell phone.

I can't recall that any of my recent cell phones have "auto answer," and I read the manuals fairly thoroughly. What is "auto answer" ordinarily used for?

What did it turn out to be? I'm equally curious...

And it is for receiving calls hands free? Hmmm...could be useful...

I believe, a hands free hand set will enable the 'autoanswer mode'. Otherwise it will not auto answer. My cheep free Nokia has it.

Yep, thats it. Hands free. Rings once and goes off hook.

In-car operation, generally with a handsfree kit. Phone rings a couple of times to let you know there's a call, then it answers.
