Smart Device Manager

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 09:17:32 +0000

OVERVIEW

Smart Device Manager is an app that runs on the “child” phone in order to power two family safety services on the Sprint Network, Drive First and Mobile Controls. These services allow parents to automatically lock a phone when driving or to prevent phone usage during school hours.

PERMISSIONS REQUESTED

The features of the Smart Device Manager app only become active if you sign up for one of these services. A parent can shut off these services at any time.

LIMITED PHONE IMPACT

Smart Device Manager is pre-installed on phones to facilitate sign-up for Sprint Drive First and Sprint Mobile Controls (so that a parent doesn’t need to grab a child’s phone and manually install software). Like other apps that come pre-installed on your phone, Smart Device Manager cannot be uninstalled.

The app is designed to be as small and impact-free as possible. Unless you sign up for Sprint Drive First or Sprint Mobile Controls, Smart Device Manager will not consume battery, memory, or any other phone resources. It’s only 600kb in size (about the same size as a wallpaper image that comes pre-installed on your phone).

UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS

From time to time, we update Smart Device Manager to improve the experience for Drive First and Mobile Controls customers. If you are not a subscriber to one of these services, the app should not need to update, but recent Google changes (from Android Market to Google Play) have unintentionally triggered these updates. We are working with Google to address this.

In the meantime, if you do not want to update, it’s OK to simply clear the notification and ignore the update request. If you update the app, it will not subscribe you to any of these services, and the notification to update will disappear. We apologize for the inconvenience.

INQUIRIES

If you have any questions about Smart Device Manger, Sprint Drive First or Sprint Mobile Controls, please contact android-support@locationlabs.com.

YouMail Visual Voicemail

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 19:05:23 +0000

Join millions of other users on YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus!

YouMail is more powerful and more fun than any other Android visual voicemail. And it's FREE!

KEY FEATURES

- Scroll and play voice messages on any device: Android phone, Android tablet, computer, or e-mail account.

- Visual caller ID: see caller photos, name, and city and state, even when they're not in your address book - whether they left a message or just hung up.

- Smart greetings: wow callers, automatically greeting them by name, or with a pre-recorded greeting from the YouMail greetings community.

- Caller ditching: unwanted callers are sent to voicemail automatically, where they hear "this number is out of service" and can't leave a message!

- Total ownership: easily save important messages forever, neatly organized in folders, and share them on twitter or facebook.

- Easy contact backup and sync with facebook: access your contacts on any device.

- High Quality Human-edited voicemail to text transcription: save time by simply reading your voicemail within the app or by e-mail, without ever having to listen to it. Premium Read-It Plan required.

NOTES

- Major US Carriers supported (including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint). Sorry, doesn't work with pre-paid plans, such as T-mobile Flex-Pay, Simple Mobile, Family Mobile, and Virgin Mobile, and for most Metro PCS and Cricket users.

- Requires you to forward your unanswered calls to YouMail. To return to your old voicemail at any time, use "menu", "preferences", "accounts", and "forward to carrier" (or simply "google" cancel YouMail for instructions).

- It's possible for carriers to drop your call forwarding. To reactivate YouMail, just use "menu", "preferences", "accounts", and "forward to YouMail".

- It's possible for carriers to fail to forward your calls to YouMail correctly (where YouMail won't find your mailbox or will ask for callers to enter the mailbox number). In that case, please contact support@youmail.com and we will try to give you another access number that may not have the problem. But it may be you live in an area where you're out of luck and would have to buy YouMail Pro to solve the problem.

- High Quality Human edited voicemail-to-text transcription requires a subscription after the free trial is over, but YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus is still free to use if you do not buy a transcription plan.

- By using YouMail you agree to the YouMail terms of service: http://www.youmail.com/termsofuse.html
