away message for texts on iphone 5s?
I figured id ask here, although after googling for hours, I dont think its possible--im going away and for a week i would like for any texts i receive to be auto-replied to " I am away".
without doing anything complicated, is there a way to do this? I even looked up forwarding texts to my email which will have an away message, but couldnt find that either--thank you in advance!!

answering my own question--called verizon and apple--no way to auto respond, all you can do is bloack all messages. I am curious of if I put my phone on "d not disturb" what does the texter see? I know with a phone call it goes straight to voicemail. if anyone knows that would be great! thanks

For iMessages, they will see the status of the message, which includes delivered, read, and I believe sent.

Read will only be shown if the recipient has that enabled on their device, otherwise it will always just say delivered. There's no difference in this behaviour if do not disturb is turned on/off.

Assuming that your phone is jailbroken, there is a great tweak called AutoResponder which does precisely that:

I think there's a huge market for 'Text Forwarding." Unfortunately, here in Canada, my provider (Rogers), if such a technology were available, would happily charge heinous amounts for it or simply ban it under the guise of selling their equally heinous "roaming travel packs."

My VoIP provider supports SMS; they're forwarded to email. I can easily create an auto responder in email that will do what is desired here; unfortunately it doesn't solve the issue of someone texting my phone directly. For that reason I rarely share my mobile number and have my VoIP service forward my business line when needed.

Just checked - voip.ms has started offering this service too! This makes my life much easier...
