emergencySMS will SMS your location/address to the emergency services and a nominated contact - pin it to your start tiles for when the
unexpected occurs. The free app we hope you never have to use!
The success of the emergencySMS service in the UK for those with special needs (or in poor reception areas), combined with the growth in
use and functionality of smart phones and text messaging services worldwide has led Linknode Ltd to develop the emergencySMS application
for Windows Phone. See below for a release history summary.
The benefits of an “app” driven interface (with interactive sending of the SMS) include:
• Standardised and Unambiguous
- Better message format and interpretation
• Quicker, Lower Stress and Less Error Prone
- Automated message formulation and menu options help users in emergency situations
• Accurate Position
- Use precise GPS location if available (coordinate provision for non-urban locations and address finder)
• Address Lookup
- using services to determine a full address in an unfamiliar area with a confidence level
• Manual Override
- Though standard message could be sent with three clicks, allow editing and cancellation
