FaceTime vs Screen Lock

[Burk Roberts]

That’s an interesting suggestion and I hadn’t thought of it. It seems like it should work. I will give it a try and see. Thanks!

I just tested the one from AT&T and I can indeed send myself an sms message by sending an email to my number at their secret email address suffix. If you can do something with getting that past the slient mode then that would pretty easy to make work. But then I know this conversation has been going on for some time in the background and I may not be caught up and you may have tried that already...

Unfortunately as you know Apple killed the ability to script Messages and I haven’t found a way to script a FaceTime Audio call without using the GUI, which is where I run into the locked screen problem. If no one knows of another alternative I guess my next step will be to look for a cheap VOIP service and then use the built-in dialer on the alarm panel to call me. Anybody got any suggestions for that?
