BaselsReply - SMS ‘answering machine’ for Windows Mobile

basels replyBasels Reply v2.0 for Windows Mobile works a bit like Anfy Call Filter for S60.

It’s an ‘answering machine’ for your mobile but, rather than playing callers an amusing message in a funny voice and then recording their voicemail, Basels Reply uses SMS.

In ‘reply mode’, Basels will simply text a short message to any incoming caller.  Nice, but not that interesting.

In ’server mode’ however - things take a turn for the weird-yet-possibly-useful.

You can configure Basels Reply to respond to a list of SMS commands prefixed with the letters ‘br’.  e.g. if someone texts you with the command ‘br status’ Basels can reply with a bit of user-supplied text explaining what you are up to.

It’s like an on-demand Twitter.  A bit.

Basels Reply is freeware, available here.
