SecuraFoneTM transforms Droid phones and iPhones into personal safety devices
SecuraFoneTM, a new mobile application debuting from SecuraTrac, harnesses the power of GPS technology to mitigate the potential for emergency situations, notifying you via text message when something could go wrong before it even happens. And, if you are driving, SecuraFoneTM locks your phone to help you avoid driving distractions.
SecuraTrac will be exhibiting at CES 2012 in Las Vegas in South 4 Hall, Booth #35631. Leading up to CES 2012, SecuraFoneTM is competing in the Mobile Apps Showdown, a fast-paced contest where consumers and industry experts are asked to weigh in on the apps they think have what it takes to make it in the marketplace. To test SecuraFoneTM and to vote for SecuraFoneTM as the winning app, visit www.mobileappsshowdown.com.
SecuraFoneTM is currently available for Android phones and iPhones. SecuraFoneTM is available in a Basic and Premium version. The Basic version of the app is free and offers unlimited GPS tracking and an SOS feature that allows users to send an emergency message or place an emergency by pressing a slide button on the phone screen.
A powerful safety solution, the Premium version of the SecuraFoneTM app automatically tracks and reports young children’s, new driver’s or elderly parent’s locations with more than 6 alert types including speed, SOS, and SecuraFence (virtual border) alerts. With SecuraFoneTM, parents and children are constantly connected through text message or email alerts with the added benefits of a distracted driver feature that disables texting and emailing while driving. The Premium version is free to download with an $8.99 monthly fee.
SecuraFoneTM can be downloaded by visiting the SecuraFone website or through your mobile device’s app store. A SecuraFoneTM application is also being developed for Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices. For more information please visit www.securafone.com.
