Dear Members, :)

Many of you must have been inundated by phone calls when you have been really busy with work, now switching off the phone lets the caller get the message that the phone is switched off.

Is there some way , the caller gets the message "Mobile is out of range" i think this lies in the purview of the Service Provider, in my case I called up my service provider, Airtel who told me that they have just started this service in Delhi / Bangalore as a test service,, nothing yet for Orissa, the place where I am currently based in ,,,

any thoughts on this,, ;-)

If you have an SE, just select Accept no calls, or create a list of callers you want to accept. Thats it. Nothing new.

Click to expand...

but it wont say "out of coverage area" or "phone switched off"...it will say "caller busy" and caller understands that we dont wanna take their calls...everyone knows abt call waiting feature:cool:...
