Answering Call - no incoming call showing on screen

[Mycenius]

! I just downloaded the app. I like it but still not showing an incoming call unless my phone is off.

Have you checked you allowed this app to open over other apps?

Fossify Phone works perfectly on my BraX3, so pretty sure it’ll be a setting…

What about voice mail? How to install visual voice mail

Don’t believe it supports it, this isn’t an iPhone after all… Also remember your Telco / Carrier has to support it, and your Phone App, and I believe the Phone itself (OS or Hardware or maybe both). So anyone of those not supporting it means you wont have it.

I also think it requires the telco to have deeper hooks into your device…

Here in NZ our Telco’s only started supporting it last 2 years, I had it on my iPhone but nothing on my BraX3 with same Telco - I briefly used the default Phone app, but quickly switched to Fossify Phone as much better and more synergies with Fossify Contacts app. But it is a deliberately simple app… Anyway no sign of it in either…

I just use SMS notifications.

I coukd be completely srong, BUT I doubt you’ll find any privacy focussed FOSS apps that will support that visual voicemail. Read this about what notifications allow the app provider to do (and that connected voicemail is the same thing):

Notifications and Privacy

Hey Guys. Below is a post I created to give some information to our members regarding using notifications with your apps and how it could affect your privacy. Notifications can be used to track you. Not all do, but I believe the majority do. It’s a surprisingly pervasive form of tracking. What do I mean by pervasive? Tracking that’s widespread, difficult to detect, and builds a remarkably detailed profile of you. How Notifications Enable Tracking: Notification Tokens: When you install an app…
