I had it set up so that I pressed the reject & SMS button and I had a pre-written text saying "Sorry, can't take your call right now (space for reason), will call you back ASAP". Used to have the functionality on my old N95-2 - and a very useful feature it was too, IMHO.
in case of GF/Wife/BF, it would be nice to return the call as soon as you can or write a message by yourself instead of some predefined bot-like messages.

As a side note, a guy I know created an app for Android that let you set a number, a time interval and a message.

He could then send out an annoying SMS message every 5 minutes to people who kept calling him and saying "sorry wrong number."

Quite funny if I do say so myself.

But yes, I think spamming 100s of phones all at once would probably be illegal, and if it isn't, should be. Otherwise spammers will start sending out massive messages to carriers and that would just suck.

Interesting request...
A quick Bash script with a loop would be able to spam sms indefinitely.

Disagree.

A little note popping out (even if generic) saying the following could be handy:

"Really sorry to drop your call, I'm currently tied up at work and will call you as soon as I can. Drop me a text if it is urgent".

if xterm is enough, just modify sms sending example from pymaemo wiki. 5 added rows should do the trick.

What would be cool and existing under symbian for a long time is timed sms. ie: you could prepare smses for different recipient and they automatically send on predefined time. This is a very usefull app to manage a commercial team for example, or simply to write something when you have time (for example late at night) and when you don't want to forget to send it let say the next morning and so on...

This might be worth reading with regards to the legality of sms spamming:

Did not knew. Thanks for the trick, I'll have a look for that, and see if I can manage it the way I need.
