The Phone alarm alerts the recipient through a pop-up notification on their mobile phone while it is ringing loudly. The notification has a pre-drafted message and the sender’s location on a map. Therefore, once a SpotyPal user presses the panic button, the recipient gets notified immediately, and they do not need to open their email to see the message. Therefore, this is a faster and more reliable option.

However, although the receiver does not need to have a SpotyPal device to receive this SOS alert, they have to install the SpotyPal app and create an account.

To add an SOS contact via phone alarm follow the steps below:

  •   Open the SpotyPal app
  •   Tap the three lines on the top left corner
  •   Choose the "SOS contact" option
  •   Tap the "✚" on the top right corner
  •   Choose the "Phone alarm" option and press next
  •   Fill in the email of the recipient (must exist a SpotyPal account with this email)
  •   Fill in your name to know the recipient from who the SOS alert comes from and press next
  •   Write the message your recipient would like to see (ex. I need help, call me ASAP, etc.) and press finish
  • Now the recipient should accept your invitation. He/she receive an email and a notification that will say “You have received an SOS contact request”.

    To accept this request he/she should follow the steps below:

  • Open the SpotyPal app
  • Tap the three lines on the top left corner
  • Choose the "SOS contact" option
  • Press on the "Receive from" menu
  • Accept or reject the request by clicking on "✔" or "✖" icon
  • That’s it, your SOS contact is ready. Now you are safer than ever!

    Be safe at any time in any place!
