Hey guys so this is the problem.

If my partner calls me on FB messenger.. it is too soft no matter what volume I put it at, it is not going to wake me up and the other person has to wonder if I am picking up etc...

Same thing when I get a call on my VOIP thing... although I can change the settings and ringtone it doesnt have "alarm". That is the only thing that would get me up....

Is there an app that 2 people can install that whomever I add or connect with can hit a button and not pay attention to it and the alarm goes off on my phone (whatever I set as an alarm tone) and I have to get up to turn it off?

Thanks

[doublepost=1474312939][/doublepost]For your partner, find my phone will make a sound that is fairly loud. I would not recommend that for someone else since they need your icloud login.

Hopefully these types of VoIP apps will make use of CallKit in iOS 10 fairly soon and then calls via those apps should work fairly similarly to regular calls (or FaceTime calls).

Do facetime calls ring in the same fault ringtone I set?
