The newest feature of the handset, brings a free of charge service to all post-paid IsatPhone 2 customers, who will now be able to access worldwide emergency response services from GEOS. World leader in emergency monitoring and response, GEOS, monitors devices on all global satellite networks 24/7 and are supported by the IERCC, International Emergency Response Coordination Center in Houston, Texas. The one-press emergency assistance button located at the top of the handset, directly contacts GEOS , which then sends location coordinates to the IERCC, who attempt to make immediate and direct contact with the user. GEOS then make contact with the local and relevant emergency response teams who will be sent to the location for search and rescue where required.
Available now for pre and post-paid IsatPhone 2 users, the new GEOS emergency service function ensures expert help is available at the touch of a button, making it the ideal solution for those in remote, isolated and often volatile where safety and security are of vital importance.
All post-paid users receive this service free of charge, with current post-paid IsatPhone 2 customers required to register online at www.geosalliance.com/inmarsat to benefit from this service. New customer purchasing an IsatPhone2 will benefit from an in-box insert, with details of the service and how to set up.
Pre-paid users can also take advantage of this service, however GEOS charge an annual fee for this – a small price to pay for peace of mind!
