After Hours Emergencies if you don't have a VA yet

[Ryan Moyer]

While I have a VA covering this now, if you're not at that point yet here is a good free way to cover yourself for late night emergencies without being up all night with your phone dinging.

1) Create a Google Voice number (free)

2) In your check-in instructions, list that number as the after hours emergency only number

3) In your phone settings you can choose specific apps to bypass Do Not Disturb. Simply set Google Voice as one of those apps

Now you can set your phone to do not disturb, but the guest an use the emergency number if the water heater is flooding your house or if they're locked out or something.
