Locate that missing, muted Android phone

It's that rare but unfortunate disaster--you're late, you're on the way out the door, and you can't find your Android phone. If you have another phone, you could call it ... but what if it's muted?

Enter SMSAlarm from nebkat, a fab freeware that triggers an alarm when you send your phone a specific code-word SMS text. As long as you can access the Internet, you can find your phone.

SMSAlarm is free, it's only 53k, and it runs on almost every Android device--1.6 and up.
