For even more peace of mind, you can also get her GPS location with a simple one-word email or text, or force-ring her phone when she doesn’t pick up.

PhoneLeash collects some data automatically that you should know about.Upon installation, the phone owner's name and email are used to let them knowthat PhoneLeash has been installed on their device. This discourages use of PhoneLeash as spyware.The phone number, cellular operator name and related parameters are also collected for debugging.What about your SMS and MMS messages? If you are forwarding texts to email, or replying from email,these messages are stored only while in transit.
If replies have not been pushed to your phone in 30minutes, they are permanently deleted (and you get an email).Your contacts data, messages history, pictures etc are never collected.
Technically, no one is sending SMS messages over wifi. This is because SMS uses slack bandwidth in the cellular communications control channels to transmit the messages. This is why sometimes messages can be delayed, or never arrive when sent via SMS.Many companies offer a service to take your incomming wifi (or cellular) data connection and bridge it to the cellular netowrk and send the SMS for you. Apple does this by running their own servers and hosting the internet to cellular network gateway. Unlike many other companies, Apple will do a much better job (when it works) about spoofing your cellular number for sending the SMS message, so any reples go direct to your iPhone.
Other companies that offer this type of service assign a unique phone number to you in their service, and use that for sending/receiving messages for you. If you have Apple products, they have even added newer features in iOS8 and related MacOS versions to allow your iOS devices and Mac computers to get your incoming SMS messages on your iPhone forwarded to the other devices (if they are on the same wifi network) and they even allow the other devices to send replies back via your iPhone (once again if they are on the same wifi network). They even do this with phone calls using their Facetime interface on the other devices to act on behalf of your iPhone.The stress and strain will always remain on the cellular network if they are sent as true SMS messages. As for AT&T offering their own messaging platform outside SMS that uses your data connection, I don't think I would really want another one of those to have to work with. I would much rather AT&T partner with an existing comapny doing that and working towards a standard for everyone to follow rather than making another one-off solution that doesn't work with all other phones/carriers/etc.AT&T does already have a messaging app, but I don't use it so I can't tell you anything about how good (or bad) it is. I do not see this as solved!
Not everyone uses iPhones, nor wishes to use them!! I have similar issues with cell reception at my home. Sending a message thru a 3rd party app is ridiculous as a solution. I pay way too much for this service for a sloppy solution such as this. There should be a better way to leverage my perfectly performing wifi to get messages on my phone.or better yet, explain why I have coverage issues along with half of my neighborhood when there is a cell tower 2 1/2 miles away? When I called to inquire, I was told they had no idea why there was an issue. And, calling over wifi.
Only available on iPhone with at&t. Other carriers allow the same device I have to use calling over wifi.
Samsung active S6. Att messages does work over wifi. I have a Samsung tablet which is wifi only now, and linked to my phone number. It gets my text messages at the same time as my phone, or when my phone is off.TEST COMPLETE. I can confirm, if you use ATT messages, you will get texts on your phone over wifi only.
I sent a text from my Samsung via SMS cellular to my Nexus 6p in airplane mode with wifi on. The message cam through on both the Samsung tablet with wifi and the non ATT smartphone on wifi.The down side is I don't like the look or layout of ATT messages. But it does work.
It won't.This is all part of the VoLTE and WiFi Calling (amongst others, all basic IPSec stuff),.standards., which seem to be very slow to come to ATT.
