Enable Text Reply Incoming Calls and Add more text presets on Windows Phone
Recent update to Windows Phone also included Text Reply feature. This allows you to send a text message after rejecting an incoming call when you are busy or cannot pickup the call.
Text Reply option only shows up when there is an incoming call, along with Answer and Reject options. Now for some reason if you don’t see this, first make sure you have the latest update for Windows Phone installed ( Settings > Phone Update > Check for Update).
If you have the update then go to Settings > Applications > Phone > Turn on Text Reply. This will make sure the option shows up on the next call.
Add More messages :
Many of us like more options when sending a message in these kind of situation. Some would like to add sophisticated “Call You back, Busy in Meeting with Boss” while other would want “Whats up Doc!!”. So Windows Phone team decided to support 4 of such message types.
Tap on Edit Replies button(right below Text reply) and you will have 4 text boxes. In each of these, you can add your own message. So next time you get a call, you can pick any of them from the option.
If you need to send anything else and not any of the predefined messages, you also get an option to type a new message along with the above list. It will first reject the call and open the message box to type the custom message.
