It is strongly recommended that you read the complete user instruction manual before you change or enable any rules. 

 

Make sure you link unique uncommon KEYWORDS to your commands and not common words.  Eg. don�t use keywords like HI, HELLO, etc� These are very common First word for text Messages and if they are set as Keywords, Touch my Life will execute the action associated with the linked command.

 

One suggestion is to use KEYWORDS with mis-spelt words (Uncommon words) so that Touch my Life Keywords will not conflict with regular SMS from your friends.

 

This application assumes the sender caller id is obtainable as for many actions Touch my Life replies back with SMS Text Messages.
