about

description
Keep SIM Alive sends an SMS on the schedule you define so your prepaid, roaming, or backup SIM card is never deactivated for inactivity. **How it works** For each SIM on the device you set a recipient, a message, and a schedule for when the message goes out. Each keep-alive is a regular SMS: your carrier may charge for it as per your plan. **Features** - Dual-SIM device support - Fixed send time or a random window - Off-schedule manual send - Send history with per-message outcomes - Automatic retries if network is down or the SIM is removed - Live SIM status to clearly identify the SIM - Schedule per SIM card and not per slot, so the schedule follows the SIM - Optional sticky notification while keep-alive is on - Survives reboots and app updates **Privacy** The app has no internet permission and makes no network calls: keep-alive messages are sent directly over the cellular network and all data stays on your device. No advertising, no tracking, no analytics. **Permissions** - Send SMS — the keep-alive message itself - Read phone state — to properly link the schedule to a certain SIM card - Show notifications — recommended for sticky notification - Boot completed — to re-arm the schedule after a reboot - Ignore battery optimizations — optional but recommended, for reliable wake-ups - Schedule exact alarms (Android 12+) — optional and experimental, for wake-ups despite aggressive battery optimizations; recommended on devices known to kill background apps. On Android 12-14 you grant it via a separate Alarms & reminders toggle, and on Android 15+ the battery exemption above grants it automatically
