It's not semantically OK, at least not in AmE or BrE. Revert | Define Revert at Dictionary.com There is no definition of "revert" that means to "reply." This is used, I have learned here, in some Indian dialects, but I would consider it an error.

No definition of revert means reply. 'I will reply shortly.' 'I will get back to you shortly.' Rover
