Ring your Android phone when it is in silent mode

We often use silent mode to our phone and we are not able to find out where it is. Even it is not possible to hear ring from a Silent mobile so there is no use to give a ring from any other phone. Wait!! Think again. It is possible. There are two methods to do that. Here they are:

Method 1:
In this method you need laptop with internet connection and the phone must be internet enabled - either Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. Open your laptop and go to the site https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager. Login with your Gmail account which you have used for this mobile. Click on the button Ring and you can hear the ring from your mobile.


Method 2:
In this method there is a prerequisite. You need be installed an App previously - Ring My Phone. Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.in.mobile.ringmyphone&rdid=co.in.mobile.ringmyphone

Next you need to configure this app with an unique keyword. Whenever this mobile get an SMS with this keyword it will automatically ring. So in this case you need another mobile in hand but there is no need an internet connection.

Technology is fun.

UPDATE: 

Now you can avail two more features:

1. Lock the phone: If you lost your phone and you don't want to erase the data then you can change your password from here.

2. Erase: If you lost your phone and for safer side you want to factory reset your phone you can do it by this option.

  1. If you need to track down your missing cell phone, or you need to call someone but are stuck on your computer without a phone, you can use several different services to call a phone over the internet. Ring My Cellphone is place where you can find you phone.
