The alarm doesn't work if the phone is off.
- prower 6y agoI usually use an awfully basic Casio wristwatch on my nightstand as an alarm. 5€ at a random chinese seller. 3€ Battery lasts 2 years. Job done, move on. If you need to use a smartphone, at least keep it in airplane mode, even if only to avoid eating radiations 8hr every night.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoI've used a lot of alarms over the years - I sleep through them, get used to the sounds, and so on. Phones aren't foolproof - i've slept through 17 phone calls in a row. It has been so bad that I was afraid to live alone because I thought I would get fired for being late. Solved with a phone.

- Broken_Hippo 6y agoAirplane mode doesn't allow for calls to come through, if necessary: Silent will allow it to ring if the same number calls more than once in a row.
- ThePowerOfFuet 6y agoiPhones will switch themselves on to sound the alarm.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoI've never had an iphone to experience it: I'd honestly take that as another reason not to have one. I'd rather a phone be off when I turn it off. Silent mode works well.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoPhones have a silent-mode switch. This is a solved problem.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoYes, and I've used it!
