Paid plans
SOS texts and calls that are hard to miss.
Email works, but people don’t always check it fast. On a paid plan, OneTapAlert also texts and calls your contacts — from $5.99 a month.
Text 1
The alert and your link
Says you triggered an emergency alert, includes any message you typed, and the private link to your live location.
Text 2
A heads-up about the call
Sent from +1 877 405 9946 with a map pin of your location and the time, so the call that follows isn’t mistaken for spam.
Call
An automated voice message
An English recording that says who needs help and asks them to check on you, then repeats.
Who gets texts and calls
Every trusted contact you added with a mobile number. You can add up to 3 contacts; each one also gets the email alert.
When they’re sent
- When you hold the SOS button.
- When a safety timer you set runs out without being turned off — the message then says you didn’t check in.
Limits that keep it reliable
To prevent misuse, each account can text and call up to 30 contact deliveries per hour. Alerts are only sent to your own trusted contacts, never to arbitrary numbers.
Outside the United States
Texts and calls come from a US number. Whether they reach phones in other countries depends on the carriers there. If any of your contacts live abroad, send a test with them before you rely on it. Email alerts reach any inbox.
Your contacts’ consent
Contacts can reply STOP to stop texts. Read our SMS consent policy.
OneTapAlert is not an emergency service. It alerts the people you choose. It does not contact 911 or dispatch help. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Be Ready Before You Need It.
Set up your trusted contacts in a few minutes. The free plan sends SOS email alerts with a live location link. No credit card needed.
