Mobile Secretary To The Rescue!
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:00 AM
"I often invite my friends out to see a live band, a movie, or some other function where I won't be able to hear my phone ring or be able to answer it. Usually, there is always one or two people who don't exactly make it on time (sometimes that is me, but that's another story for another day) and end up calling me to find out where we are sitting or if the evening's plans have changed. But, since I am not able to answer the call, they just get my voicemail. Not too informative for them. I'd like to introduce (or reintroduce, if you attended my session at MEDC 2006 in Las Vegas) an app that I call The Mobile Secretary. This app allows your Windows Mobile device to automatically respond to a missed call with a custom text message and optionally with your current calendar information. You can customize the messages for various groups of people as well. What if someone calls from their home phone number? Well, as long as you have a contact's various phone numbers in your contact database, the text message will always be sent to their mobile phone."
Well, you could pay for an app to do this, or you could download the Mobile Secretary from the Windows Mobile Team Blog site! The source will be posted soon as well, so in addition, you can see how managed API calls are executed to create such a mobile wonder.
