GPS Tracker SOS buttons

An SOS button on a GPS Tracker is immensely useful – especially if the person might become lost, confused or anxious. We specialise in GPS Trackers for dementia, Alzheimer’s and elderly wanderers – so GPS Tracker SOS buttons are essential. They are also used by children who have autism or anxiety issues – but the uses are of course much wider.

Our small, personal GPS trackers all have an SOS button. When the SOS button is pressed, the device automatically sends a text message to up to three pre-programmed emergency phone numbers. This could be a partner, son, daughter, manager – anyone with a phone. The SOS button also triggers the device to call the pre-programmed phone numbers in turn – until someone answers. Sharing access of a GPS Tracker with relatives and friends is easy – and can be set up remotely.

The SOS button is able to text and call out because the GPS tracker has a SIM card inside (which you choose – depending on your network preference, pay as you go or contract, etc. We have a great deal for SIM cards if you need one, with a very-cheap-to-use pre-installed GiffGaff SIM.

Because our GPS trackers are able to locate themselves using overhead GPS satellites, the texts contain the location coordinates of the GPS tracker.
