Silencing app
As a Realtor, you go on appointments every day and your phone is either on or off (or on vibrate), and telemarketers, clients and spouses alike get the same treatment.
You want to be polite and care only for your client in front of you, so you might turn your phone to silent, but if you’re waiting for an important call, you might put it on vibrate, but you look at every call, text and alert just in case it’s what you’re waiting on.
No more! Enter SemiSilent for Android which knows that sometimes you only want certain people to reach you while others can wait until your client is fully served.
Maybe you’re a single father and a call from the babysitter trumps any client or meeting, or maybe you’ve spent two years trying to get a complicated land deal closed and you’re waiting for a call green lighting everything, or maybe you have a deal with your husband that you will always take his calls.
No more forwarding your calls to your assistant or gatekeeper, you can simply launch SemiSilent, scroll through your list of contacts and tell the app which you’re available to and when done, check a box at the top of the screen to activate the feature. Set your phone to silent and it will still ring if it’s someone on your safe list. Voila!
