Price

Description

How many times have you, or someone you know, lost their phone somewhere in the house while it was on silent or vibrate? It's a common problem, especially amongst younger cell users.

When you lose your phone and it's on vibrate or silent, what do you do besides look and look and look? Calling it from another phone wont work, it's silent. With Call Out, you can use another phone and text (SMS) your phone a self chosen code word ("Call Out" by default) that will set your ringer volume to full volume, allowing you to hear it ring when you call it. As well as setting off the ringer for 60 seconds. Calling Out to you.

With Call Out, you will be able to chose your own Code Word, using letters and numbers. So that you'll be able to remember it. Call Out will quickly glance incoming text messages (SMS) for this specific codeword and if it doesn't see it, nothing happens. When your Code Word is detected, it will automatically set your phone's ringer volume to Full and set off your ringer for you to hear. This way, even if you don't hear the ringer the first time, you can now call it with the volume on for you to track down.

Besides changing the volume and setting off the ringer, it will also send a text message (SMS) back to the phone you sent the code from. Letting you know that your phone's volume is all the way up.

Actually.. it's more so that I know a LOT of people who lose their phones and they're ALWAYS on silent.. especially my lil sister. Hence the "younger users" line haha

Retro: Thanks man :)

It's a love story, baby just say yes
Great idea. I'd definitely buy it if it was for iPhone. :P
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.
