How do I test the app before I give my number to my coparent?

Are you planning to use Boundary Line in Solo Mode and want to test it before giving your assigned number to your coparent? Understandable. Testing the BestInterest app before fully implementing it in your co-parenting communication can provide reassurance and familiarity with its features.

Texting your assigned Boundary Line number from the phone number saved to your own BestInterest account is not a supported SMS test. Use a trusted helper’s phone instead.

Testing with a Friend’s Phone

Step 1: Use a Friend’s Number for a Co-parent Profile

Instead of your co-parent’s number, enter a friend’s phone number in Settings > Coparent Profile as a part of the test setup.

Step 2: Retrieve Your Assigned Phone Number

Access Settings > Coparent Connection to view the number linked to your account. This will be the number your friend will use to test message you.

Step 3: Have Your Friend Send Messages

Ask your friend to send messages to the assigned number. This simulates receiving messages from your co-parent. Observe how these messages are processed and displayed in the BestInterest app, providing insight into the app’s functionality and message filtering.

Following these steps, you can ensure that the BestInterest app meets your needs and expectations before involving your co-parent.
