I Called Twice: Kids Answer

How the setup works.

On setup, you may select up to 4 existing contacts. The "emergency contacts". The app then monitors for missed calls from these contacts.

On the first missed, ignored, or avoided call, From any pre setup contact and the unmistakable missed call banner appears.

The second missed call. In the pre-setup time, triggers the unpassable lockdown screen. The lockdown screen #1 informs them who the missed calls were from, that has the unlock code. Pic example.. Dad. #2 Emergency services and the pre set up contacts, who can always be called or text. #3 The unlock code manual entry box if you wait for verbal communication. Optional just return the unlock code via text.

The emergency contact that was missed TWICE, receives two texts. #1 A GPS pin location, if they aren't going to communicate, at least you know where they are. #2 the unlock code, that is needed for unlocking. Return by text or wait for verbal communication. When they give me the power of lockdown, i have them do some cleaning before i give up the code. To each their own.

If you ever call and their phone is off, to avoid a missed call. You can text only the word 'lock' and on turn on lockdown will trigger, and you will know when you get the lockdown texts. Optionally set up a compatible router, to turn their wifi devices off and on with lockdown. See below for more information. If you are having permissions or setup problems, please see our setup walkthrough page.

I CALLED TWICE: KIDS ANSWER

"When they won't answer your call, they can't ignore you twice."

Built to be fair — not controlling. Your child remains in control through a simple call management system, allowing them to answer or call back. If they communicate, nothing happens. If they ignore you, they hand over the power.

When lockdown is activated, it sends you their GPS location along with an unlock code via SMS. You simply text the code back, and their phone unlocks. It's that simple.

Our server keeps only what the lock needs: your phone number, your child's first name and your triggering contacts' numbers. We don't track or spy on anyone, and we prioritize missed call prevention.

(How it works)

You set up 4 trusted, triggering contacts. The phone monitors for missed calls from up to 4 contacts. If two calls from the same triggering contact are missed * within a short time (default: 5 minutes) * lockdown begins instantly *(Let's be honest, we won't call twice in 5 min unless you really need them to answer your call).

(setting up the app on the child's phone)

* Contact #1 will setup the app during initial setup. * Giving all permission's and selecting the other (optional) emergency contacts, and their (optional) router. *See router setup at the end.

(Contacts 2, 3, and 4)

Contacts 2, 3, and 4 can set up their router to be a part of the I Called Twice: Kids Answer system. When the phone is at their home. By selecting the app icon. Then selecting their name for setup. *See router setup at the end.

(If they try to turn off the phone to avoid a missed call)

Only if you call and the phone is off. (when they try to avoid triggering a missed call) You can text the word LOCK, by itself, and when the phone turns on, your lock text will be received. The phone will detect the LOCK text. You will be notified when the unlock code and GPS text from lockdown is sent to you.

(Optional)

* Wi-Fi access, on lockdown, is shut down to all tablets, PlayStations, Xboxes, video games, tv apps ect. If they are setup on a compatible guest network. On setup you will need to create a guest network and all Wi-FI devices, that need shut down on lockdown are moved to that network.

(Setting up the guest network)

Connect the child's phone to the home Wi-Fi. Once connected to the normal home Wi-Fi. Select the connected network. Select the gear settings icon for the Wi-Fi. Select manage Wi-Fi. You will be taken to the web page to set up your password and guest network. Once setup. Enter the credentials into the child's, I Called Twice: Kids Answer app on their phone. *Do the on and off test a minute apart and you're done.

Son's, Daughter's or Teen Ignoring Your Calls? Not Anymore

Does your son, daughter, or teen ignore your calls? They sleep with their phone, shower with their phone, and eat with their phone — but when you call? Silence.

I Called Twice: Kids Answer changes that with its innovative call management system. The first missed call sends a warning, and if they miss a second call within 5 minutes, their phone locks until they call you back.

This solution promotes communication accountability without tracking or spying. Just pure accountability for missed call prevention.
