Step 3: Set up an activation code by pressing the option labeled Activation keyword. For best results, keep from choosing a commonly used word.
Should you find yourself separated from your phone, all you need to do is text your phone with another device or service (ask a friend, use Google Voice, etc) with the passcode you set in step 3. After that, all SMS and missed calls will be forwarded to your Gmail account for your viewing until you deactivate the service manually.
