In case of emergency, the myRescall app for iPhone (iOS 4.3) will transmit your GPS-coordinates to the designated dispatch center. Simultaneously a voice connection is established with the dispatch center. They will then coordinate the first response.
In emergencies, every second counts. The location of the accident, what sort of injuries and number of victims are some crucial facts for first responders. The faster and more accurate that information reaches the dispatch center, the better are the odds for the injured persons.
The combination of GPS data and voice connection makes this app a perfect tool to quickly inform rescue crews.
The app is free. The GPS-transmitting and the dispatch center services are, however, charged services and must first be activated after installation of the application.
If GPS data is available, it will be transmitted to the dispatch center and you will simultaneously be connected with a voice call.
If GPS data are unavailable, you will be connected to the dispatch center with a voice call.
After you placed a distress call you may make one follow-up call.
This app also features a test emergency call, so that you can check that you phone settings are correct to use all myRescall’s features.
