Hello,

I am currently using the Mobile Secretary as my program to auto-respond to missed calls. As viewed here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...secretary.aspx

As you can tell it is quite outdated and need something a few more features. (excluding international texts being the primary concern)

Can anyone recommend any applications?

Also I think it's worth mentioning I have a Samsung Ace i325 with windows mobile 6 standard.

OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed.

The most important feature I need is the ability to:
-exclude international callers. (and SMS if that feature is added)
-ability to automatically reply to SMS/text as well.

Some features that would be a bonus: (in order of importance)
-Ability to have 6 saved messages I can switch between
-Number of rings before the phone auto hangs up
-Max number of SMS that can be sent to one person
-Log of amount of SMS sent per session
-Log of phone numbers that SMS were sent

If I can get a program like this working on my current phone I will definitely pay for it.

When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?

As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?

I only really need the "Default" and "Unknown Caller" groups with both sending the same message. I don't plan on using the groups to send specific messages to certain people. I want to send the same SMS to all missed calls. Unless I am missing something but I don't see how to filter out all Int Calls?

As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
That would be a nice feature, but all since I am only using two groups with the same message, it probably isn't necessary. I just need it to auto-reply one SMS to all received SMS.

If all you're looking for is a quick little app to auto-SMS any missed calls (excluding international calls) with the same message, that'd be really quick to whip up.

As long as it doesn't attempt to send SMS to numbers that come up as "Blocked ID" (could cause errors) ...then even what your suggesting would be improvement.

That plus auto-SMS to all texts would be great.

I would also need a manual filter for a few numbers that I know don't want any SMS sent. (paycard numbers in particular)
(I currently use a "third group" on mobile secretary to "filter" out those auto-SMS, forgot to mention that earlier)

I definitely don't need an intricate program =)
