How do you silence a call, without ignoring it, on a Blackberry Pearl?

Question

IGNORE makes the call go to the voicemail, so caller knows were ignoring them or avoiding them! On all my other phones there was always a way to silence the ringer if we didnt want to answer a call, the caller will think we just didn't pick up!

Answer 1

push the down volume on the side of your phone.....

Answer 2

Put the phone on "vibrate" mode! Or get the other phone where there's a way to silence incoming calls. ;)

Answer 3

Put It on vibrate

turn your volume off

Answer 4

usually you can just tap the bottom part of the buttons on the right side of the phone.  The ones that you use to scroll up and down through your emails and stuff. When it rings just click the bottom one and it should silence it right away.   Check if it work, good luck

Answer 5

I see what you mean.  No, blackberry isnt that quick with silencing calls.  You basically need to Not answer it or end the call.  People know when you are "dissing" them, and that is a good problem Blackberry should address.
