Priority calling - edit entire message 'Reply Now' feature

All,

When trying to set the "reply now" feature the option screen provides a standard phrase -I'm busy and I can't take your call- following three empty boxes in which you can choose your own message.

I've noticed that whatever message you select and send when dropping a call, the system always puts the standard phrase before my own message. Is there a way to remove this standard phrase and just send the phrases I've put in one of the editable boxes?

That standard phrase makes this feature useless to me because I normally text in other languages. As my system language is English -and I want to keep it that way- I'm forced to send my message entirely in English, which makes it more look like spam in my case.

Thanks in advance

Such a good feature with typically bad implementation by BlackBerry. Why on earth did they decide to put this pre-message in? Why decided this would be a good idea? Just stupid.

Nevermind I'm a ****** and found it but for me I'm running os 10.2.1.1055 and it gives me the phrases your talking about but if i tap on the area in the box it allows to to type a phrase of my own. I guess they are just suggestions? Is it the same for you?

Feature can be found in the 'phone-app'. Swipe down from the top, tap the 'Gear-symbol' symbol and go to 'Priority Calling'

I'm running 10.2.0.429. Not sure what you mean or it might be different in 10.2.1 but off course I can remove these suggestions and put my own message, but I can't delete that standard phrase (I'm busy and I can't take your call).

And it always put's that phrase before my personal message in auto-reply.

Oh i see what you mean i didn't understand the issue. Sorry. For me it does not do that so maybe it is a glitch? I got someone to just test it out for me the system used the messages i put into the box. That's weird if i can find anything more about it I'll let you know. Sorry again for the confusion

All i meant by stating my OS is that they may have added something or fixed something since it's a newer release and therefore the settings or how things work might be slightly different

I dont want to offend you, but do you know that you have to touch exactly the row with the selected text when the pop up appears?!?

Yes, this is exactly the same problem I have with this feature.

When I am in the settings and I type in my 3 different phrases for answering the person calling, I still see the first one, which was written there by BlackBerry and cannot be changed. Even worse, because I am from Czech republic, our language have some differences when you are male/female and talking to someone else :) We change the last letter in word, depending on who is speaking. And BlackBerry have written there a phrase (in our language of course) which has the same base for both male/female but last word in the phrase is written in both forms.

I don�t know if you understand what I am talking about (hard to explain :) but the result is, that SMS I send to someone is looking really stupid and strange :)

And as was stated above, I really cannot understand why BlackBerry decided to implement it in this way. It is like a hybrid between two choices, customised and non-customised reply phrase.

It seems that there is noone in BB who actually tested real life use of these funcions :)

You're not the only one. I've been having the same problem and have been irritated by this too.

This happens on 10.2 official. I don't know about the 10.2.1 leak.

Another irritating part is that the option only comes up when the number that is calling you is saved on your device and under 'Mobile'. Say if you've saved it under 'Work', the reply now feature won't work.
I see why they implemented this, I mean it is called 'Priority Calling' but it is sometimes counter productive.

Hopefully they will smoothen out this feature by 10.2.1

I'm pretty sure I'm not mistapping on a line when the box pops up. Because the feature sends this standard message AND my own message right after each other in one text.

So when my personalized phrase is: "I'm driving, call you right back" the feature texts "-I'm busy and I can't take your call. I'm driving, call you right back." As the personalized phrase is in another language I'm sending weird texts :).

That's different from saying you expect it to come.

And the ******** os thinks that the default entry for phone numbers should be Work. Did they even consider testing this os on real people?
