About mySOS SA

***A "one-stop-shop" for access to the closest and most appropriate emergency services in South Africa*** 

South Africa has a unique situation, with numerous emergency service providers, from both the public and private sector, offering emergency assistance in case of a medical, rescue, fire, police, security and roadside emergency.

mySOS Emergency offers you access to appropriate emergency assistance when: 

(a) you don't know who to call 
(b) you don't know where you are 
(c) you want to notify your emergency contacts about your emergency and the exact location 
(d) you want the emergency services to navigate directly to your location in an emergency 

mySOS Find Near Me offers you access to contact details for doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, dentists, vets and police stations in South Africa.

mySOS Track Me can be used to track a timed journey when walking, hiking, cycling, running, or driving, anywhere in South Africa. mySOS checks your device's GPS location and automatically notifies emergency contacts when you don't arrive when the time countdown has completed.

Disclaimer: 
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
