Can you recommend an Android app which can act as an answering machine for incoming calls?

Dr.Sunil Vaswani asks:

Can you recommend an Android app which can auto-answer calls with custom greeting after a set time of rings and accept voice message from caller?

Alan thanks for nice research

Actually the app mentioned in the link can auto activate speaker-mode for incoming calls though no feature of custom greeting and recording caller’s message could be seen on the link

shouldn’t your service provider have something like that? if not, then you could try Google Voice.

Google Voice is not enabled in every country

Hello Sunil, did the workaround not work? Or is it perhaps not practical? There was confirmation here, that the method works, but it sounds like it has quite a few difficulties.

If you call *86 (at least on Verizon) it’ll bring you to your voice mail where you can change those kind of settings, like greetings and such.

Hope this helps.

I guess there is no such solution for a Voice answering machine ( would love to have one :) ), but there are SMS answering machine solutions available for free at Google Play where a SMS is triggered for missed calls ( standard SMS rates apply ) .

Dr.Sunil Vaswani

You are correct that there are many auto-sms reply apps

Actually there would be apps meeting criteriae of this question but they have to be searched by expert and tedious eyes
