SMS Blare Beta (EMS)

Emergency Message Service will become SMS Alert!

This tool allows you to create rules for text message arrival so that you are alerted in the manner you wish. For example, let say you are on calls for work (or volunteer work) and you want to ensure that you are aware of emergency support text messages. This tool will allow you to create a rule that says the text message will be sent from some specific subset of telephone numbers during a specific time frame (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 6pm and 10pm).

Messages are filtered by telephone number. The ways to filter messages are:

1. Contains - This rule applies to phone numbers that contain the entered value

2. Ends With - This rule applies to phone numbers that end with the entered value

3. Starts With - This rule applies to phone numbers that start with the entered value.

4. Are of Length - This rule applies to phone numbers of the length entered.

5. Range - This rule applies to phone numbers that are within the range of numbers entered.

The types for available alerts are:

1. Single or Continuous Ring

2. Single or Continuous Text-to-Speech (TTS which reads the message aloud)

3. The volume you wish to the ring or TTS to use (unless you are using a headset)

4. Single or ContinuousVibration

5. Camera Flash Strobe (if available)

6. Turn on the screen
