Alarm calls

[Anonymous]

When I set the alarm on my phone, does o2 charge me?

No of course not!

It's a built in feature with most modern phones now.

Don't go giving them any more ideas

Incidentally, does anyone know of an alarm app that works on Android with the phone switched off?

No idea but don't you have to leave wifi on for it to work

Currently you would have to root the phone and use an app to turn the phone on just prior to the alarm time. Android does not have a "BIOS" so it's not possible to encode an alarm which turns phone on automatically. I have read about some new types of processor that Samsung are working on which would allow this kind of function but they are not yet in production.
