Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a Windows Phone App that will effectively function as an autoresponder or "Out of Office" for incoming SMS messages?

Or another clever way of doing this?

I believe the service provider is Vodafone, if that would make a difference.

Ta.

Thanks, Nathan. However, not sure if that feature is available in NZ.

The webpage you linked says "Cortana is only available on phones with Windows Phone 8.1, and in some countries/regions." That links to another page, which says:

Cortana is available in the following countries/regions: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States.

Is that functionality actually available in NZ?

(The phone is Windows 8.1, which is a good start! 8.10.14219.341, apparently)

Thanks.

That is a... disappointing solution.
