I have heard something very interesting. I have heard that when you reject a call on IPhone 5 you can text message them a preset message. Does anyone know if this is true.
Dear William J,
iPhone 5 is one of the most popular upcoming phones. There are a lot of rumors going on about it. But so far we can expect is iPhone 5 will be running on iOS 6.
Apple announced their latest mobile operating system iOS 6 this year in Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC-2012). A lot of upgrades will be seen in the iOS 6 including the feature you are asking about. In iOS 6 you will not only be able to reject calls and automatically send them a preset text message but also you will be able to filter your important calls when you will be in their new “Do Not Disturb” – (it turns off all notifications including lights) mode.
All this features will be available in iOS 6. If you want it in iPhone 5 let’s hope that it runs on iOS 6.
Thank you,
Surette Peck
Dear William,
The feature you are talking about is only a rumor that has been circulating around for a few years now. Neither iPhone has ever had this feature, although many people wanted to see it happen.
On the WWDC of 2012 they presented some features that will be available in the finished version of iOS 6. Among these was the feature you mention – being able to reject a call with a SMS.
Apple likes to take things slow when it comes to releasing new features. This is most definitely not a new feature in the world of technology. Since 2005 you could have done this on any Nokia phone. But that's how Apple likes to work: feeding people with bread crumbs.
This is what your screen would look like when somebody calls you in iOS6 and how you can reject a call with SMS:
I hope this helps.
