Description:
A lot of Windows Mobile users have been asking for answering machines for years. While it has long been available on competing mobile smartphone platforms (for example, Smart Answer for the S60), for Windows Mobile, so far, there wasn't a generic one - that is, one that wasn't shipped along with a specific Pocket PC model only.
Now, this seems to be changing: the first "real" answering machine has been released for WM Pocket PC's.
iSecretary is one really nice working answering machine for Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
Features:
- Lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires.
- Plays the file to the caller.
- Records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up.
- Contact list filter (choose an individual wav for each contact or group of contacts).
- Ignore list.
- Compatible with speakerphone (for PDA which can not work with signal in line).
- Autoload after SoftReset.
- Speakerphone volume control.
- Microphone control (its work with some PDA, For example: ASUS P525).
- Black list, reject ringing (filtering by phone number).
- Notify system.
- Task bar icon.
- Events system, send sms or voice message by rules.
- Emulate sound around you.
Getting, installing:
Download it, unRAR it with, say, WinRAR, transfer the contents of it to your Pocket PC and run iSecretary.exe. For iSecretary 3.0 or more, just run CAB file from Pocket PC. You can safely minimize it / suspend the phone: whenever an incoming call arrives, the answering machine activates, plays the default message (you can easily change it in the Answer List tab, even in the non-registered version) and starts recording the caller's voice. If it can, that is - the same restrictions apply as with traditional call recorders like PMRecorder.
