SOS Beacon

SOS Beacon is an emergency app that gets you appropriate help fast in an emergency situation. With SOS Beacon installed on your smartphone, your precise location is automatically transmitted to dispatchers when you call or text 9-1-1.

SOS Beacon solves the challenge that 9-1-1 cannot precisely locate mobile 9-1-1 calls. Here’s how to set it up:

- Download the app onto your device
- Open the app and grant permission to location, texting, and calling (we need these permissions to send your location to dispatchers when you call or text 9-1-1 in an emergency)
- Accept the terms of service
- Exit the app

As long as you have SOS Beacon installed on your device, your precise location will be transmitted to dispatchers when you text or call 9-1-1.Emergency dispatchers can access your location securely through the Next Generation 9-1-1 Clearinghouse.

International Capabilities

Did you know that 9-1-1 isn’t always the emergency number? SOS Beacon provides a directory of emergency numbers for over 250 countries and jurisdictions worldwide, so you never have to worry about getting help when you need it.
