Mobile Secretary for Windows Mobile phones released October 26, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. Brian Cross from Microsoft has written interesting application for demonstration purposes that however can be also useful in every day life of windows Moble phone user: 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. There are 2 standard groups that you start off with. The "<Default>" group applies to a caller who can be found in your contacts, but has not been assigned to a group you created. The "<Unknown>" group applies to a caller that cannot be found in your contacts. You can create as many other groups that you'd like. Contacts can only belong to one group at a time. Sometimes I use a secondary mobile phone that has a different phone number from my main phone. In this case, I usually forward my calls to the secondary phone so that friends can still reach me. This works well until someone sends a text message to my main phone. So, I added a text message forwarding feature to The Mobile Secretary. Just enter in the phone number in which to forward to, and all text messages sent to your device will be resent to the other device. There is also the option of appending the sender info to the message so that you know who it originally came from as well. To learn more or to download CAB file with the program, click here.
