- The OKI 900 does this (also private labelled by AT&T). If you enable
- this mode, it will answer with the standard "beep-beep-beep" that
- callers would associate with a display pager. If you combine this
- mode with turning off the ringing volume, this is a handy feature to
- use when you're in a meeting, expecting a call, and don't want to be
- disturbed. I find that no-answer transfer to voicemail works better
- for me, though.
