Sms Alarm for Android
Possibly the best pager and easiest to set up. Thank you so much
This works well.
Not sure I am using it right, but can't get it to work with words contained in texts. Only plays sounds based on numbers. Also would be useful to have separate sound settings for primary and secondary alarms.
Worked great till a recent upgrade. Now it ignores my keywords. Phone: LG G3
It will be a great app when it's bug free. The acknowledgement function doesn't work and didnt alarm when tested.
I highly recommend this app to all on call emergency service personnel. Works very similar to a pager. Tested the alarm and works perfectly. Only suggestion is a more user friendly interface when alarm is activated (bigger green button to press when acknowledging SMS) and it would be perfect.
Edited. Have tried this app again. Works perfectly now for australian numbers
Never worked on a Nexus 6 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Ignored texts.
Pager duty by text/sms made manageable, works great for any type of rapid response on-call role like newsroom, technical operations, damage control, medical or emergency services.
My partner was concerned that I would miss that import sms. I set up this app in minutes and it works a treat. Would like the option if I could trigger on any word, but other than that good job!
How to make it alert (sound & or vibrate) continously active until the message is read?
One of the best apps I have downloaded. Used for receiving alerts as a first responder.
Doesn't work
This worked on my HTC One on kitkat, but breaks SMS on lollipop.
Works as intended
We get our alerts via emails. This looks like the ideal app for rescue workers, but so many of us are alerted via email. I would be willing to pay for this app to start allowing that. Please could you do that?
Verry good app
Not working
Worked great in my S4. Switched to Note 4 wont work. Uninstalled
Good app for detecting important msgs whenever youre oncall. One room for improvement is the ability to schedule automatically when to enable the alarn.
Doesn't work
Didn't work for me
My dept uses alpha pages from an email. This app would be great if I could be alerted from the email contact, it only however supports phone number alerts.
It would be great to have a alarm that is only vibrate otherwise awesome
Ert call
I am a volunteer firefighter, and this app makes sure I can't miss a paging text message. You can choose from multiple paging sounds, and is a very effective alarm app. Best on the market.
Perfect for responders
Doesnt work in australia
Maybe I didn't look deep enough, but I expected to be able to select from alarm sounds already on my device, and I could not find that option. The supplied alarm sounds are so long in duration that, with no way to cancel the preview, I could not effectively find a suitable tone by trial and error. Had to de-install and keep on looking. Looking for something that can sound like my usual wake up alarm in response to a 5:30 AM incoming text from employer.
Alarmbox is better!
I have installed this app and put kalangadoo country fire service as the rescue service despite it only being a fire brigade will the app go off if a message is sent to my mobile number
We use this for our fire department..its easier to get people to respond
Wish the app would allow for letters to be entered for alpha page system
It wont work for me. I insert numbers and nothing comes through.
Now working
We get our alerts via emails. This looks like the ideal app for rescue workers, but so many of us are alerted via email. I would be willing to pay for this app to start allowing that. Please could you do that?

I use this for call-out alerts with my Search & Rescue team. Works a treat ... Once you get a hang of how to use it.
