Send an SMS to the Phone to get its position, and/or to make it call you automatically, and optionally turning on the speakerphone

This App is ideal for those who work alone, travel alone, and for those who are alone on their way back home after a night on the town

This App is for you and your loved ones. For you, your children, spouse and elderly parents. Increase their safety by installing this app on their phone

Unlike most similar Apps, this one WORKS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, independent of Internet Access

There is NO REGISTRATION and NO MONTHLY FEE. And you do not have to hand over the control of your phone to any one, or any web site. You alone keep full control over your own phone

TIP: Place the Red SOS Button (Launch Icon) on the Home screen of the phone, so that it is easily seen

With this App installed on a family member's phone, you can also track the phone’s location, in order to know where your loved ones are at any time

This App allows you to make automatic calls from the Phone, in case he/she does not answer your calls in the normal way. Such calls are automatically connected with no manual intervention, in order to talk with the family member, or just to listen to what is going on around the phone. Very useful if the user of the phone is hurt or disabled in any way

It is comforting to know that you can always make a call to that person, even if he/she is unable to manually answer the phone
