Remotely activate/deactivate call notification and/or call forwarding

[gmermel]

I would like to be able to tell my primary phone to activate call forwarding from the phone I use at work.

I have tried "forgot your phone" and "call forward". Both of them work the same way. They don't activate call forwarding but they do have your phone text call information (when and who) and received texts to the number you designate.

Once you set up a PIN on your phone you cab text a code to your phone including your PIN and the number you want the texts delivered to. Your phone then forwards a text with the details of what it receives.

The problem is that neither works. I've emailed the developers with no reply.

Any advice on these programs?
Any other apps you'd recommend?

If you would be satisfied with a text or email forwarded solution, I think SMS Bounce or PhoneLeash will do what you want. They won't however forward your voice calls. If you need that capability, maybe an alternative to remote activation would be to setup Tasker profiles that send the appropriate carrier code (see http://geckobeach.com/cellular/secrets/gsmcodes.php) at times when forwarding is required.

I hope you do try PhoneLeash (missed calls, SMS forwarding/reply), and that it works for you. And if it doesn't can you please let me know (support -@- gearandroid DOT SEE OH EM)?

The Android API would allow for apps that can set/modify call forwarding on your phone, remotely. PhoneLeash doesn't do that yet (just being cautious about features that could be misused).
