Forgetting your phone is a common problem that many people face, especially when rushing out the door in the morning or after a long day at work. While it can be frustrating to realize your phone is missing, there are several ways to ensure that you never leave it behind again. One of the most effective ways is to set up an alert that goes off when your phone is left behind. Here's how to do it:
1) Use a Phone Reminder Device (PRD)
A Phone Reminder Device (such as a Prox PRD®) will alert you before you leave your phone behind. PRDs use Bluetooth technology but do not use an app and they do not track you. You can adjust the alert distance range and you can change the alert sound. The typical alert range is 50 to 150 feet depending on the environment. The PRD will alert or notify when your phone (iPhone or Android) is left behind.
2) Use a Bluetooth Tracker
Bluetooth trackers are small, key-chain sized devices that can be paired with your phone. They use Bluetooth to communicate with your phone, and when you move out of range, the tracker will sound an alarm to alert you that your phone is being left behind. Some popular options include Tile, Chipolo, and TrackR.
3) Use Find My Phone
Some versions of this feature allow you to set up an alert that goes off when your phone is left behind. This is especially useful if you tend to leave your phone at home or in the office. Unfortunately, you can still go quite a way before you receive the alert.
4) Use a Smartwatch
If you own a smartwatch, you can use it to alert you when your phone is left behind. Many smartwatches have the ability to pair with your phone, and when they're out of range, the'll alert you that your phone is missing. This can be especially useful if you're in a hurry or running out the door, as you may not hear the alert from your phone itself.
5) Use a Reminder App
There are several reminder apps available that can help you remember your phone when you leave it behind. Some apps will send you a push notification when you move out of range of your phone, while others will remind you to check for your phone when you arrive at your destination. These apps can be especially useful if you tend to forget your phone in the car or at a friend's house. Keep in mind that most of these apps use location tracking which does track you.
6) Create a Habit
Finally, one of the best ways to ensure that you never leave your phone behind is to create a habit of always checking for it before you leave. This can be as simple as putting your phone in the same place every day when you come home, or placing it in a designated spot in your bag or pocket before you leave. The key is to make sure you always follow the same routine, so your phone becomes a habit and you don't forget it. This does not work if you are in a new environment like a restaurant, new office building, church, etc.
Conclusion
Leaving your phone behind can be a frustrating experience, but there are several ways to ensure that you never leave it behind again. Whether you use a PRD, Bluetooth tracker, Find My Phone, a smartwatch, a reminder app, or simply create a habit, you can take steps to make sure your phone is always with you when you need it. It's been proven time and time again that the Prox PRD really does provide a reliable phone left behind alert. By setting up an alert, you'll never have to worry about forgetting your phone again, and you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that it's always within reach.
