For example: send keyword "where are you" to turn on the ringer or "shush" to turn it off.
FAQ:
Q: Hey, didn't you hear about Android Device Manager? It locates your phone and plays your ringtone at full volume.
A: Yes, we did. But ADM relies on you having your mobile data or Wifi activated and it ADM can also be disabled. A simple text has a greater chance to reach your phone.
Plus, you can give your key phrase to your loved ones to make sure they can reach you when your phone is on silent.
Q: Are you reading my texts?
A: No! Your phone scans for the key phrase, the data never leaves your device. We won’t ever request access to read your personal information or even to use your internet connection.
Q: Ok, but you can you send texts out, wasting my monthly budget?
A: No, the app doesn't have permission to send texts.
Q: There are so many false alerts happening all the time! A: If you use a common word or phrase to trigger the alerts (like “where are you?”), then your friends/family can accidentally trigger the alert. Use something unique that isn’t widely used in text messages.
Q: Should the SMS contain only the key phrase and nothing else to trigger the alert?
A: No. As long as the key phrase is in the text it will trigger the alert, no matter what else is around the text. And it is case-insensitive.
Q: So what is the Alert then?
A: You can choose if you want your phone to vibrate or to play the default ringtone, or both!
Q: Will this app slow down my phone?
A: We specifically made the app simple and small so it would not affect the performance of the phone, like some other bigger apps do.
Q: Well, can I also use it on my tablet?
A: If it can receive an SMS, then why not?
