Abstract
A system for controlling key access using a phone and Internet-connected key box device. The key box device comprises a SIM card programmed with a unique phone number associated with the key box. Calling the phone number using any phone will provide access to the key box. A cloud computing software application then interfaces with operations programmed into a circuit board. A user then unlocks a key chamber by calling the number at a scheduled time. The key box device owner monitors and controls access to the box and its key chamber via the software application.
