Advantages of using the app compared to calling 112:
- 3 in1: You can quickly and easily select which emergency service you need.
- Location: The emergency call centres can track your location much more accurately.
- Additional Info: The emergency services will refer to any additional information you’ve saved on your profile to tailor the response to you. For example, they will see immediately if you are deaf, have a heart condition or are allergic to certain medications.
- Alarm: If you have fallen or are unconscious and the emergency services are struggling to find you, the emergency call centre can sound an alarm via your phone to help alert the team to your location.
- Chat: if you are unable to speak or to hear the emergency call centre can activate an instant message functionality.
- Internet free: the app is not reliant on a WiFi or data connection.
