This way, the caller will be notified with a text that you are busy, stating why you reject your call. You can even set a reminder for calling back to avoid missing out on important calls. This can be done by defining preset messages you can customize at your convenience Globeinform.

As soon as you receive a phone call, you will see a phone icon located at the right-hand side bottom of the screen. If you want to decline the ring, then slide this icon upwards, and you will see two options: Reply with Message and Remind Me Later.

Now select the option of Reply with a message to decline the call. You will again get the option of sending three letters to the caller. You can tap to select the predefined message or customize a message. To customize a message, go to Custom Option and compose a message.
