When it comes to how to wake someone up over the phone, we are familiar with waking up early yourself to dial them up on their numbers, which in turn will wake them up if their ringtone is set on actual sounds than it will if it’s on vibrations. But what other ways are there to ensure you can wake a person up over the phone. This article will capture a few more strategies that are effective.
Have them Set up an Alarm
Another way to wake someone up over the phone is by setting their phone alarms to the preferred wake up time. A feature that seems common and quite easy to you, may be a little foggy to your partner who is not a phone freak. Helping him or her set up an alarm to an earlier agreed wakeup time will assist him or her to meet up with their daily engagements. For, the first few days of the alarm sound interrupting their sleep there is a huge tendency they will cut it off, so you can go a mile to call them up few minutes after the alarm just to ensure they are wide awake.
By using the Find my phone feature
To do this, you will need to follow a few steps.
Set an Exception in DND, enable the feature and add an exception contact number, on both phones so they are accessible to notifications even if it’s in the Don’t Disturb Mode. This works differently on iOS and android devices.
