[Q] Call forwarded identification in Android

---

Hi there, guys.

I have been searching the net for a way to identify if a call received in android is being forwarded from my other number.

I know there is an app in windows mobile from xtkit.com that does it, but i haven't been able to find any similar result for android.

My phone is a Galaxy S, and there is a (very) brief message during the first ring with "forwarded call" text, and then it vanishes, but if yo have the phone in your pocket, it is totally impossible to notice it. Is there any way to "catch" that message and make it still all time phone is ringing?

I know the "trick" of having a Google Voice account and forward calls to it, but i live outside the US, and GV isn't available in my country yet.

Of course, if there is any app for that, i'd be glad to pay for it.

Thanks in advance.

I have taken the challenge and written such an app ;)

You can find it on Android Market, see also XDA thread.
