Re: question about setting up OnCallDefender app found on Applevis
You can, if you know the street address where the issue is, but when all you only know the parallel street and the streets ahead and behind, that isn't an address they can use. From what I read, the location is something the operator has to specifically request and can take up to 6 minutes for the phone company to process, and it likely uses whatever they have as opposed to the GPS/location services in the phone. With an app like this, the phone already sends the GPS info when you set it off, taking the waiting game and potentially less accuracy issues out of the equation. I did get an email from their support, and they said that the app doesn't work with any OS the iPhone 6 could run, but the app store compatibility list lists them all 4S, or maybe 3GS and above. That is probably because devs can't say 4S and older in their listing to make it unavailable to newer phones. I would assume that this app absolutely requires iOS 7 and less. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 11:37 PM Subject: RE: question about setting up OnCallDefender app found on Applevis Why not use 9-1-1 if there is an emergency?

Re: question about setting up OnCallDefender app found on Applevis
Yes, I hope everything does work out. As for the app, it is a scary thought that if they did go defunct, people may be paying the automatic subscription and they won't realize that the service won't work until they have to set one off for real. The impression I get is that the demo function basically tests for cellular/network connectivity and GPS, but it doesn't raise a test alarm. I might have to look for something else. They could also be only allowing current subscribers to continue with it or the newer iOS versions since 2010 could've broken parts of it. - Original Message - From: "Connie Mohney" <cmohney1...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 7:18 PM Subject: RE: question about setting up OnCallDefender app found on Applevis Hello, Good luck with the app and your new job.
