On Call Alert
$1.21About On Call Alert
On Call Alert is an application to help those who must be "on call" at work (ie: at a datacenter or ISP). It is an app to play an alarm if a text (SMS) or email message is received that matches a user-defined list of keywords, phone numbers or email addresses. The alarm sound can be any Android-accessible ringtone and the volume is configurable. The alarm itself has a "snooze" button to disable any scanning for the next few minutes after it is disabled.

I am IT and on call for my company. I need this app so I don't have to worry about missing a call or SMS or email. I wouldn't be without it. I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to miss important calls/SMS/emails. The only downfall is K-9 which doesn't work well with some versions Exchange at this time. I couldn't get it to work. Therefore, it would be nice to have it integrated with tasker or some other email client. I would also like to be able to turn the app off via tasker or a calender entry.

Does a great job of alerting me, with a variety of options (activating on subject line, other keywords, etc). Have been using it with nagios for the past year with no complaints, and have recommended it to many colleagues.

This advertises SMS and email notifications, and working on call 24/7 this is the best way to know I'll hear the text come - no matter what. However, if you're boss sends a group or MMS message, you're out of luck.
