'putting Your Phone On Alarm Can Save Your Phone If Stolen' by Nobody: 1:21pm On Apr 22, 2019
Putting your phone on alarm can save your phone if stolen.

Normally, when you set your phone on alarm, even if the phone is switched off it will ring.

It happened some time ago, when I left my phone on charge before going to bed. Wake up in the morning, and to my vast surprise I couldn't find it. On daily basis, I will set two alarms. One - 5am for going for lectures, and the other 4pm - for reading.

This time, I slept very early, got up early to go and urinate, and checked for the phone. It wasn't there.

At exactly 3:23am, I woke my roommates up, asked them whether they saw the phone I plugged on charge. The obvious answers, I got from them were, 'No', 'I thought it was there' and 'I saw it there when I came back from class.' I searched, searched and searched all over but didn't find it. Called my line - it was switched off.

Cutting it short, at exactly 5:00am, my phone started ringing from unknown source. It ranged continuously until I was about able trace it. I found the phone in a bag of rice, inside a full bag rice. And the person who even took the phone assisted me vigorously, telling me where to search for the phone.


Apparently, the guy that hid the phone was waiting for daybreak so that he can go and sell it to someone else. But then the alarm got him busted!

So guys, you see the power of setting your phone on alarm. Even if you can't track it, for as long as your alarm is 'ON' and it is close-by, it will ring. Please share this to your loved ones.

Very true Op!!
Similar thing also happened to me. My junior brother took my phone when I was sleeping and started playing games with it. I got up from sleep, searched everywhere for the phone and wasn't able to find it. Exactly 6:10am the phone's alarm rang. Guess where he hid the phone? Under d chair.

Losing my 2 weeks old Samsung galaxy S9 taught me one lesson; Material things will pass away. After all efforts to find my phone, I just performed a remote wipe via Google and moved on. I got another one but became more careful with my smartphone. OP you're lucky

Nice. You were just fortunate though. What if the theft happens after last alarm and hours before the next one? If it starts ringing after the person has since gone away, the alarm isn't going to do much.
