what i used to do is to remove the sim and switch on the phone, so whosoever calls you will get "NOT REACHABLE"
used to work for me, give it a try:)

Not sure on your phone, but on my E6 I got an option to turn off 'Antenna' which renders it unreachable.

Very simple just make it unreachable. Just take battery, ofcourse when cell is on.

One more interesting thing. JUst get a mobile/landine number whose alerting message you want. Like "this phone is out of order" or always engage tone, like something that. And forward your calls to that. And you bacome a Undercover agent.

But mind it in this world truth prevails no good place for liars.

ok Sumit bhai in idea there's no message named "THE MOBILE UR CALLING HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF" but the message is "THE IDEA MOBILE UR CALLING HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR OUT OF COVERAGE AREA" so u cant do much with it rather changing ur SIM .
in other opertaors message 1 is there
GOT my point ??? :?

It does not matter. One does not need a certificate from another to be truthful and hardworking. Isn't we born to make a better world.

For getting that you need to remove the battery when the mobile is 'ON'.

Use offline mode or flight mode... but in some it my say that the mobile has been switched off...
or
Create a really heavy gprs connection... evy1 who tries to call u ll get the unreachable error..

means that if u create a gprs connection and download very large amounts of data using 2-3 apps at the same time... ur mobile ll become unreachable...
works for me..

Generally it happens. But it entirely depends upon the service provider. In such case, I think Pathiks has the best answer. Put your mobile in downloading using GPRS!

'Overload with gprs?!'

How pratical is that? And if he does it, for how long? And is gprs free of cost?

Sumit, as far as I see, there are only 2 possible solutions, either your service provider should handle this or your phone should come with this feature, that's it, sorry mate.

PS: And don't trust 3rd party software, they may help once or twice but not always.

Yep! That sounds crazy! But that's the temporary solution if he doesn't want to change the service.

Well the best possible solution that works for me and most of my friends is to put the cellphone is a aluminum/steel almirah...it cuts off the signal...
Try too see if it works for you...wont work if your signal is very good in your area :p

I do this by going setting -- > phone setting -- > Network Selection --> chosing/selecting diffrent Service Provider then my current service provider

then when it do request I turn/switch off .
and i always do that
