About this app

“PulseLink Beacon Free must be your DEFAULT SMS handler to work. It keeps SMS/MMS on-device and adds device-automation shortcuts, Beacon Inbox,
spam filtering, caller ID, and emergency alerts.
Core (default role required): send/receive SMS/MMS, Beacon Inbox, spam guard, caller ID, automation shortcuts.
Other: emergency/check‑in alerts with optional location; Assistant/quick actions; ads support the free tier.
Permissions (purpose): SMS/MMS & Default SMS role for inbox and sending; Phone/Contacts for caller name and recipients; Notifications for

Data stays local; no third‑party data selling. If PulseLink isn’t default, Beacon features are hidden and messaging is limited.”
