Each keep-alive is a regular SMS: your carrier may charge for it as per your plan.\n\n<b>Features</b>\n<ul>\n<li>Dual-SIM device support</li>\n<li>Fixed send time or a random window</li>\n<li>Off-schedule manual send</li>\n<li>Send history with per-message outcomes</li>\n<li>Automatic retries if network is down or the SIM is removed</li>\n<li>Live SIM status to clearly identify the SIM</li>\n<li>Schedule per SIM card and not per slot, so the schedule follows the SIM</li>\n<li>Optional sticky notification while keep-alive is on</li>\n<li>Survives reboots and app updates</li>\n</ul>\n\n<b>Privacy</b><br>\nThe app has no internet permission and makes no network calls: keep-alive messages are sent directly over the cellular network and all data stays on your device. No advertising, no tracking, no analytics.\n\n<b>Permissions</b>\n<ul>\n<li>Send SMS — the keep-alive message itself</li>\n<li>Read phone state — to properly link the schedule to a certain SIM card</li>\n<li>Show notifications — recommended for sticky notification</li>\n<li>Boot completed — to re-arm the schedule after a reboot</li>\n<li>Ignore battery optimizations — optional but recommended, for reliable wake-ups</li>\n<li>Schedule exact alarms (Android 12+) — optional and experimental, for wake-ups despite aggressive battery optimizations; recommended on devices known to kill background apps. On Android 12-14 you grant it via a separate Alarms & reminders toggle, and on Android 15+ the battery exemption above grants it automatically</li>\n</ul>\n","categories":["Phone & SMS","System"]}
