Frequently Asked Questions

The program crashes whenever I launch it on my Windows Phone - what's wrong?

You probably need to install Microsoft's Compact Framework. Simply open this link on your mobile device to download and run the installer.

Ok, I installed the software. Now what?

  • Once you have installed the software, please:
    1. Create an account . You will enter your phone number, email address, and assign a password to your account.
    2. After you have created your account, enter that information on the Configuration screen in the mobile app. Make sure you correctly enter your username and password!
    3. International users: You may need to tweak the Int'l Trim and Int'l Add options in order to enable SMS responses. This does not affect your ability to track calls and texts - it only applies to responding from the Dashboard.
      • Int'l Trim is how many numbers to trim from the beginning of received phone numbers.
      • Int'l Add is any numbers to add to the beginning of received phone numbers.
    4. That's it, now you can start using I Left My Phone At Home!

Are International phone numbers supported?

  • Yes. See the notes above about Int'l Trim and Int'l Add. The default settings should be fine for most users.

Does the app have to be running in order for it to work?

  • Yes. Also, I Left My Phone At Home will launch on phone startup, in case you soft reset.

How long does it take before my phone shows that it's away?

  • The app "checks in" about every five minutes, so you should see the status update within 5-10 minutes of setting your phone away.

Are text messages sent from the Web site sent by you or by my phone?

  • By your phone. Messages are queued and sent to your phone, which then uses your phone's texting ability to send those messages.

Does it cost anything to send texts from the Web site?

  • No, but your carrier may charge you for texting and data plan usage, since the texts are sent from your phone. You are responsible for all of those charges.

How do I get upgrades?

What do the icons mean in my messages list?

  • Phone Call = Phone Call
  • Text Message = SMS (text message)
  • Outgoing Text Message = Response to SMS
  • Text Message Sent or other confirmation = Confirmation, such as when an SMS has been sent

Can I have more than one phone registered to my account?

  • Yes. You can have as many phones registered as you like.

How long are messages kept on your servers?

  • Until you delete them.

Is there a maximum number of messages I'm allowed to have?

  • Not at this time, no.
