Description
Alert turns you Android phone into a mobile alarm device. Install Alert on your own phone, and people you trust will be able to start your alarm from any cell phone - just by sending you an SMS! Even if your phone has been put on silent, the alarm will go off!
Sending an alarm from one Android telephone to another is even easier, just press the alarm power button, and the alarm will start.



Getting started
After you have installed MoGuard Alert! start it, and try the alarm power button. A nautic alarm will sound! Wait a while, or press the button again to stop the alarm.

If you send an SMS to your phone which starts with ALARM, the alarm will start, and the power button will show.

Hit the menu button and choose Preferences, to see how you can modify the behavior of Alert. 

To start the alarm on another phone than your own, set the alarm receiving phone number in Alarm receiver. To avoid the whole world from starting alarms on your phone, set the Password on incoming alarms. This protects you against unauthorized alarms.
If you set this password to ColdBeer, only an SMS with the text "ALARM ColdBeer" will start the alarm.

Likewise, the preference Password on outgoing alarms holds the password that you sends when pressing the
alarm button.
