Do you need a smartphone to use YourPING?
When we talk about new technology, there is often an assumption that everyone needs the latest smartphone, another app to install, and yet another password to remember. YourPING is deliberately different. You don't need a smartphone to use YourPING. If your phone can receive and reply to an ordinary text message, you can easily check in ... Is a modern smartphone necessary to check-in with YourPING? No! Just the ability to receive and send SMS When a YourPING check-in arrives by SMS, the message asks a simple question. "How are you doing?" You can click the links in the message to open a browser window and check in, but if your older phone can't do that, or you're in a low-signal area where you can't get an internet connection, then reply Y if you're OK or N if you're not. That's it. No app needs to be opened, no complicated menus to navigate, and you don't need mobile data or Wi-Fi!That simplicity is important to us because plenty of people are perfectly happy with a basic mobile phone. Others own smartphones, but aren't particularly interested in downloading apps or learning another piece of technology. YourPING shouldn't exclude somebody simply because they don't want, need or feel comfortable using the latest technology. SMS also has another useful advantage: it can work in places where mobile internet coverage is unreliable: in rural areas, inside buildings with patchy reception, or anywhere mobile data isn't completely dependable.Text messages use the standard mobile network rather than needing a 4G or 5G data connection. They require very little network capacity, and if your phone temporarily loses signal, the network will normally keep trying to deliver the message when a connection becomes available again. Technology should make that process easier | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
