Does the clock part work without the phone being activated? - T

The question may have been asked because some phones (including this one, by some accounts) will use up minutes by frequent pinging to get date/time/minutes-remaining information.

Yes. It does. You can take a picture, save it as your screensaver and enjoy a cute flip clock with your BFF's picture inside. Why not? Better than a watch or having to open your wallet to a stranger and expose your credit cards.

Nope, mine didn't set it off. The cell phone I forgot to remove from my pocket did, though!

Hi. It auto set the clock when I connected my iPhone There is a manual way to set it that is explained in the instructions

Mine set automatically when we plugged in the phone. We didn't have to do anything.

no it does not, and sometimes when it is first plugged in to the divice you want to use it on the num lock is activated for some reason

No, it has to be plugged in for the lights to work. There is a small battery that keeps the clock and programming going if unplugged but it will not turn out without being plugged in.

My guess, it's only a guess, would be yes. However, I just set my iPhone alarm before I plug it into the clock. Works fine!

Yea, it totally does. I set the time myself, it's really not hard to figure it out-and the battery wasn't activated before I got it, so it's a nice fresh one.

Mine doesn't sync with my phone for the time at all....seems like it should. Yes you can set it. Its just not very obvious how. I had to look it up on-line. The instructions it came with are very vague. But once you get it set up and figured out...its good.

I haven't tried extremely hard, but I did try for a while one evening and haven't found any way to unlock it so far. Also, I haven't been able to set the clock without activating it. I bought it to use as an mp3 player along with a 32GB mini SD card. Got them both for about $18, and am loving it for music.

Sorry don't know the answer to either. Their app does add features that aren't availible on clock without the app. HOWEVER. if u plan on updating your phone to a 5 or 5s I don't think an adapter will support the phone. Also u can't set the clock without the phone/iPod. And clock DOES NOT keep good time unless synced every night. Clock gains about 3-5min a month. Other than that. It's a nice clock. But wait for one with a lightning adapter.

it works without phone, but then you wont receive the phone calls when an alarm triggers. and you should only rely on the alarm sounds installed in your home.

No, must be plugged in to operate....there is a "back-up"battery for the clock/alarm only.

I havent tried to set it up to send me a text, but if you have the phone apprunning in the background it will alarm when motion is triggered.

Yes. My 90-yr-old mother only wants to hear the date and time. She never uses the alarm function. She presses a button on top to hear date and time.

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.
