Furthermore, put an end to the bothersome telemarketers, credit card call center agents, and stalkers. Our answering machine is up for these jobs…SMS Machine!
Important Notes:
1. SMS rules are evaluated from top to bottom.
2. Once a rule is evaluated to be TRUE, no other rules are evaluated, and the action of that rule will be implemented. Disabled rules are exempted from this. However, Normal rule is the greatest equalizer among the rules. If set to a contact or group of contacts, SMS and calls will be handled normally and no other SMS rules next after will be evaluated. And if there is a need for an Auto-Reply with SMS rule for missed call, create the rule and place it after the contact's Normal rule.
3. The order of the rules is changeable. The order will make a difference on how SMS Machine responds to the situations. First rule, first evaluated.
4. To auto reply with SMS for missed calls, use Auto Reply with SMS rule and set it for call (and SMS).
5. Use the asterisk (*) character to denote ALL incoming numbers in the phone number field.
Tip:
Exact phone numbers and wild card rules are the quickest and swiftest ways to do the jobs. Because on these rules, there is no contact searching involved.
