AwayMessage is a very simple app that lets you ignore phone calls while not ignoring the people. For example, If you enable the app before you drive, and someone calls you while you're driving it will send them the following text message.

"Sorry, I'm currently away from my phone right now - (Sent Via AwayMessage)"

Or you Can now use a Custom Message:
To use the custom message feature do the following:
Enter your message, hit "set", then hit the Radio Button to "Use Custom". And when ready hit "Enable Away Message Notification".

This is V1.1 (Updated on 12/29/10) In the future we plan to do:
-Custom Message ( I expect to get this done within the week)
-Ongoing notification
-Preset Messages (Same timeframe as custom message)
-And a few other small tweaks

Before I released this app there were some issues I had that were tough to recreate so if you get any errors, FC's, or the app doesnt send text messages to the recipient please report them with the following:

Phone Make/Model
OS
ROM
Carrier

Or if you wish to do it in private PM or email me @ steven(at)seattleadmin(dot)net

Thanks to:
-Scary.Alien for Co-Developing this app :)
-Jamezelle for Developing/Testing :)
-Geniusdog254 for testing
-Zifnab for testing and ideas

The app is now FREE on the market and free on XDA by clicking the attachment down below. I will keep this thread updated along with future releases.
Thanks and please leave your feedback!
:D

Fantastic app! Great for me as I text for free. Somehow people always call when I'm in the shower or while I'm driving. Trying it out right now...

Edit: Works without problems.

I think you should develop on a widget, so you do not have to find the program. Just one click to enable/disable.

This doesn't seem to be working if you use Google Voice as the incoming call is not noticed and no message ever comes out. Any possibility on adopting Google voice to the apk?

That can be nice on another phone but TouchWiz (any Phone of the Galaxy S series) already includes that...i will wait for a stable release of Cyanogenmod Gingerbread for the SGS and i will buy it then because i LOVE this feature...
