Reject and incoming call on a V3

Hi -

I've got a V3, but am having trouble working out how to reject an
incoming call. I know I can press the volume down (side) key and not
have it ring, but the person on the other end will not know I have
done this. I would prefer to rejcet the call and the other person sent
to voicemail. This way they know I am not available, rather than not
answering.

How can this be done?

PS. I don't want to disable answering the phone by opening it, I know
I could do that and press the red button.

Sorry for replying to myself, but after further research the long and short
of it is that you can't.

Just set a low ring count until it diverts to Voice Mail. Say six rings.
That way you press the down button, and the person on the other end of the
line isn't waiting for ages to get diverted.

It still doesn't actually reject and divert them, though... which is
what I was trying to do. Shame, but not the end of the world!
