Cell phone automatic answer

Hello, I need help with an aspect of my senior design project. I need
to call a cell phone and have it answer by itself. Thus enabling me to
use the touch tones from anther phone to give commands to a computer
which is next to the phone. What I need help with is getting a cell
phone to answer by itself. If you have any ideas please help.

Your cellphone ships with an amusing accessory known as a user manual.
Search through that user manual for the "Auto Answer" function, which
almost all cellphones have. If yours does not, buy one that does.

I can't recall that any of my recent cell phones have "auto answer," and I
read the manuals fairly thoroughly. What is "auto answer" ordinarily used
for?
 
Okay, I think you miss understood me... I need the cell phone to
answer even when I am 1000 miles from the cell phone, not picking the
cell phone up. Anotherwords, I call the phone from home and the phone
answers from in the car with no one in the car. The computer next to
the phone will process the tones from the touch tones frequencies and
process the user commands into actions within the computer. The cell
companies DO NOT have this "auto answering" feature. I say this
because I have called all the companies I know about to find out for
myself.

In what country do they fail to teach you that "in other words" is three
separate words?

Possibly a country that hasn't yet figured out how to detonate a bomb
using a cell phone.

I believe, a hands free hand set will enable the 'autoanswer mode'. Otherwise it will not auto answer.
My cheep free Nokia has it.

Cheers

And it is for receiving calls hands free? Hmmm...could be useful...

Yep, thats it. Hands free. Rings once and goes off hook.

In-car operation, generally with a handsfree kit. Phone rings a couple
of times to let you know there's a call, then it answers.
