Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't SMS more reliable?

Push notifications are equally reliable on modern smartphones. Email is a backup. Together they're very dependable.

What if they don't have internet for push?

They need brief internet at check-in time. Most people have WiFi at home or mobile data. If truly no internet, the check-in will retry.

Can I get SMS alerts if I pay?

Automatic alerts to your contacts—including SMS, push, and email—are part of the Family plan ($29.99/yr). The free tier sends check-in reminders to you.

I'm in a different country from my parents.

Perfect! Push notifications and email work globally without international SMS fees.

What if push notifications are unreliable on my parent's old phone?

Email serves as a reliable backup. Even if a push notification is delayed or missed, the email alert will get through. Most smartphones deliver push notifications reliably, but having email as a fallback ensures nothing is missed.
