If you've ever missed an important message then Priority SMS is for you! Specify a keyword and Priority SMS will trigger an alarm when a new message arrives containing the keyword. Set the keyword to "emergency" to set off an alarm whenever "emergency" is in the message, or create a secret code to give to your family and close friends. You can even choose to override silent mode to ensure you read the message ASAP. Whether your phone is in the other room, or if you're sleeping, or whatever the reason may be... you can be sure that Priority SMS won't rest until you're notified of urgent messages.

Priority SMS is also able to alarm after you have missed a call from a specific contact. If your family calls you at 3 A.M. or if you are on call, now you won't miss those important calls.

This app is still very early in development. I have tons of additional features planned and will be pushing updates regularly. If you have ANY suggestions or feedback, write me an email and I'll do my best to make it better!

I have open sourced the app. If you would like to contribute (or just browse the code), visit my website for details.

    Great app. Does exactly what it says. I use it to monitor alerts from an automated surveillance system so I can be woken up in case of problems.

    Simple and works!
    Very easy to setup for keyword alerts without downloading a new SMS app. However, the initial bugs, some errors sending Texts from my EVO.
