![]() Too bad it doesn't support dual SIP registrations - one to the Whistle Phone service and one to your other favorite SIP trunk, IP-PBX, etc. I already have my favorite SIP app for the iPhone. Once I chose Whistle account, I could no longer use this app as a SIP softphone. However, since I have access to a SIP-based IP-PBX I also wanted to test te app with that, but I couldn't seem to be able to switch modes. I obviously chose Create a Whistle account since I wanted to use their service. Useful for both business and personal purposes, such as dating, home business, etc.Īfter first installing and launching the app it asked me to create a new Whistler Phone account, using existing, or use my own SIP credentials as seen here: So you could use this app to call people without giving away your main mobile phone number. The other benefit of them assigning you a new number is that your outbound CallerID also uses this number when dialing from the application. Yes, that's right, Whistle Phone gives you your very own phone number so you can receive calls as well (also free of charge). I should mention that iCall for the iPhone also offers free calls, but in addition to playing a 30s audio ad the iCall's calls are limited to just 5 minutes in length before it disconnects.īut Whistle Phone has one additional free feature that iCall doesn't - a free DID phone number.

The app itself also has ads, but they are non-obtrusive as seen by the screenshot. And if you don't like the ads, just put some funds in your Whistle pay-as-you-go balance which will turn off the ads. Not a terrible requirement to get free outbound calls.

Of course, like the previous app, in this one you must also give it permission to record audio files, necessary for it to have access to the microphone, and if you want the flashlight to turn on, you must also give it permission to access the camera.ĭownload Find My Phone Whistling - Google Play Store Conclutionįrom what I've tested, these apps don't actually detect whistling exactly but rather noise from the environment, so as long as you're making noise near your phone, it should respond with a sound in order to find it. For example, you can adjust the hiss detection sensitivity, melody duration, deactivate the hiss recognition with the screen on, activate or deactivate the vibration and the ignition of the flashlight. In addition, this APP has more complete settings. So you can find the mobile faster, for example if it is dark or at night. ![]() This application is more complete than the previous one because in addition to being able to make the cell phone ring with a whistle you can activate the vibration and the flashlight when the whistle is detected. ĭownload Whistle Phone Finder: Google Play Store Find my phone whistling If you enter its «Settings» or configurations you can change the tone of that sound as well as the volume. It should change to "Stop" meaning that the app is running: you can now whistle and your phone will respond with a sound even when the screen is off.
