Suggestions on a good hands free SMS app? - Motorola Droid 3

I am looking for a very simple application for hands free SMS. I have tried Vlingo and Hands Free SMS but they require way too much interaction to send a reply.
Does anyone know of an application that can read an incoming SMS message and then start listening for a reply? Once it hears a reply, it sends it...

I still haven't found a simplified hands free application. They all seem to have lengthy dialog that takes way too long to use.
Here is an example of the dialog for Hands Free SMS:
“Do you want to listen to the message again? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to reply to this message? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’ to quit.”
“Please speak what you want to reply.”
“Do you want to speak more to enter more text? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to proof read the SMS message before sending? Say ‘yes’ or
say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to send the SMS message now? Say ‘yes or say ‘no’ or say
‘clear’ to start again.”
What I am looking for:
After reading incoming message: "Listening for reply..." (3 second timer - if no response, cancel)
"Sending reply ... (read reply) Say Stop to try again or wait to send." (3 second timer)
"Reply sent..."

Frustrating - Anyone know how to make a call or edit a contact from an SMS??

Hi all, I'm finding it frustrating that there is no way to edit a contact's details or quickly make a call from viewing an SMS, is there a tweak/patch for this or am I doing something wrong??
close input program like keyboard, press up and down key to highlight sms, and press call
Solved.
Cheers, It's a bit annoying that you can't do it from the Flo view, and is a bit awkward, however this method also works to get to contacts too if you press the center button.
Thank You.
just press more (left buton)
in the list of sms's press the phone button. you will be able to call that person.
you do not need to close the keyboard.
If u dun close keyboard u cant select the message, u'll highlight text instead
what about just hitting the green button key ? that works for me

when i press more in the tf3f sms screen i go to the sms list.
if i have a keyboard there or not does not make a difference.
as soon as i press the call key, i can make a phonecall. to the selected person.
if i press up or down the next message is selected and i can call to that person.
what are you doing different?
perhaps your message is already highlighted. u can only call, forward, etc, when the message is highlighted. U'll see a lightblue highlight on the message.
When u're replying a message, no message is highlighted, hence, no forwarding etc
but when you reply to a message you are in a different screen.
i am talking about the sms overview.
so to call someone you received a message from it is only two clicks, instead of 1 click as the first poster wanted.
lol, probably misunderstanding. we both obviously have no problems and threadstarter also no problems already, so, case solved lol

you could say that
Thanks everybody for your input, yes the solution works.
If I'm in the single SMS mode (i.e. the SMS "old style" list I have no problems accessing contact details or making a call.
The threaded SMS mode proves to be more difficult, however by highlighting a message (either pressing up, or down then up, or closing the keyboard) then you can access the number by pressing the call button.
The Quick SMS view in the HTC FLO mode though proves the most difficult only allowing you to select the message to open up the Threaded SMS view. This is the mode I wanted to make a call directly from or access there details, however I don't think that is possible.

call sms sender

when i receive a sms, if this was sent by a number that isn't save in the cell phone, it's impossible to re-call the sms sender.

and i ask another time scuse for my english
Just open the SMS and then press the phone key!

Call back the sender of a text message?

Stupid question, I bet..
But I can't find this simple option.. if someone sends me a text message, I find it really difficult to call them instead of replying with a text message. I have to store their number first and then call them like a regular contact. Is there a faster way of doing this?
Thanks.
Just press Call (left) hardkey while reading that sms

I tried that, it gives me the dialer, but it doesn't call, nor copy the number so it could call...
i have the same problem
i have to copy and paste the number in the dialer
quite disappointing
you can just push the person's name...
You can by pressing the call button after opening the message, not from TF3D.

Reject call with text message, not auto?

Hi!
I'm kinda new here so bare with me...
i've searched without any luck to finding the answer to my question...
When someone calls me, the diamond gives me the choice to reject the call and texting the caller with a predefined message...the problem is that i have to actually send the damn message after haning up...wich kinda takes the whole idea away of having the phone doing it...
Now, is there anyway i can make the damn sms get sent without me having to actually click the send button?? just reject the call and let the phone do the job?
Come on, somebody has got to have had the same issue?
Go to Settings.. Phone... Advanced (right at the right hand end) then de-select "Reject call with text message"
i think you misunderstood me, i don´t want to turn off the feature, just make it do the whole procedure and not stop right before the message gets sent.
Uncheck the option to edit the text message, on the advance tab.
Well nobody is understanding what he is saying.
This is a good idea, infact i also wanted to do the same thing.
What we want is that as soon as we reject the call with send text button phone should directly send the message to the caller (with predefined text) without opening the predefined compose messsage and then we click send again to let the sms shoot to the caller.
I think this feature wont be possible with soft reject or hard reject key coz then it will send sms to each and every caller or even to landline caller. There should be other soft key just like "Send Text" soft key where we press it and automatically phone sends the sms to the caller.
Hope i am able to explain.
Regards,
Vishal

Need this quick...an answering machine with.....

Kinda short notice, and who better to ask than the fellas/gals around here...
Need an answering machine (not a phone in one) that has these capabilities:
1. Multiple mailboxes
2. Multiple Outgoing messages
3. Ability for the caller to choose which outgoing message they want to hear
example: Joe Schmoe calls, answering machine picks up, and then is given the option to press *2 to listen to outgoing message 2 and/or *3 to listen to outgoing message 3...and then leave a message on the box that corresponds to the message they just heard.
Very important that the outgoing messages be able to be personally recorded, and not just some 'mailbox 2, record now' message.
Thank you!!!

*sigh* missing the 'ignore' function...
Does it really matter? Did I say I needed it for my home? Did I say there's something wrong with my awesome Thundercat wallpapered/slide the keyboard out and you hear 'hoooooooooooooooooooe!!!' phone? no sir, I believe I didn't.
My cries for help have seriously gone off topic...and now I have the Thundercats theme in my head...yeah...thanks...

Back troll back! I warned ye! Back I say back! lol
You should really google this, or find some business software if your serious about this.
I have, and there are many many many options with many many many people giving odd reviews...I was wondering if someone out there actually had one, and would personally recommend it...
Try looking for a business forum. Then ask that there, on here you wont get much attention because we don't deal with that kind of stuff.
