I run a website called WheresMyCellPhone.com that helps people locate their misplaced phone by simply calling it. A lot of users complain about their phone being on silent / vibrate so we've made an app to turn their ringer up when getting a call from the site ONLY.

Search "wheresmycellphone"

market://details?id=com.wheresmycellphone.android

Let me know if it works for you, and any bugs you may encounter. Thanks guys!

Awesome, thanks! Yeah we caught a bug pretty early on that wasn't intercepting the calls correctly. But that has been fixed and it seems to be working for everyone now

Great to hear, thanks!

That's a great idea, I'll buy you a beer if you can add Australian support

I'm sure many others would too.

The server tried redirecting to a invalid address. please report this to the webmaster of the site.

i scanned it on my windows mobile phone doesn't seem to work.

It's only for US?

i see in the website " country 1 " so if is not only for us, where can i choose other countries ? lol

works great! thanks!

Treytor · Oct 6, 2010

Currently the site is only for the US, sorry. I'm actively trying to figure out how to do it for other countries as well.

Could you provide more information on this? What did you do exactly to get this error?

I just tried this app and website just to test it. I put my phone on Silent after installing the app and then tried the website with my Google Voice number (I had my 3G on). I saw it on the screen, and I saw it raise the volume, but even though it had turned the volume up, it never rang.

Might have been quirk.

Just now (10 minutes later) I tried it again after putting it back on silent, this time with my real cell number and it worked, although for a moment it appeared that it might do the same thing.

Regardless, all one would have to do is try it a second time if they didn't find it the first time. Thanks for this!

Hmm, strange. Thanks for the trip report! How long did it ring? Did you have good signal at the time? Also would you mind trying it again to your Google voice number?

Didn't work for me using my Google Voice number. Tried it 3 times and the ringer stayed on vibrate. Guess it has to use the actual number to your phone to work.

Thanks for trying it, we'll look into why this is.
