Default Howto: Send all calls directy to voicemail.

So, I'll attempt to clarify. First off, there are times that I do NOT want a phone call to interrupt my data session! For example, if I'm using the as a tethered modem and I'm downloading a large file I need for my computer, I do NOT want that download interrupted by someone calling me! I want them to go directly to voicemail, so I can continue downloading! But then again, I suppose my opinion is colored by the fact that one of my friends uses his Nextel phone as a tethered modem, and at one time was able to set up a special ringing profile for when he was using it as a modem. This profile would send all calls to voicemail automatically, preventing them from ringing through, so that his data session would not be interrupted. There are times I wish that I could do that with my BlackBerry!
1. Create a new profile, name it what you want.
2. Go into the Phone options of this new profile.
3. Set Do Not Disturb to Yes.
4. Enjoy uninterrupted data connections.
