Walkalone Personal Safety Tool by You ID Me

12/8/2022

Comments

 
Personal safety app for attack danger scared unsafe alerting contacts Walkalone emergency phone tool
Walkalone lets your contacts know you're in danger, you're  scared or you don't feel safe and it provides your location.
Walkalone is a unique personal safety service provided by You ID Me Platinum.

Walkalone puts a simple yet powerful emergency alert button in the centre of your phone screen to use if ever you're in danger, scared or need urgent help.

The button triggers alerts to your registered emergency contacts and shows them your location using Google Maps.

Walkalone can be used by anyone that carries a phone. It's designed  in case they:
  • run into some kind of danger
  • feel scared or unsafe
  • have an unusual problem, such as being approached by a lone 'police  officer'

Who is Walkalone for?

The Walkalone  personal safety tool is for anyone that carries a mobile phone; women and girls, men and boys, of any age.  The  original idea for Walkalone was for the creation of a tool to help keep lone females safe. It was  triggered by the horrific abduction and murder case of Sarah Everard  in March 2021  by off duty Met Police Officer Wayne Couzins - interest and use of Walkalone is divided across  gender and all ages, highlighting the need for a personal safety alert  tool.

​How does Walkalone work?

Walkalone personal safety app button for your mobile smart phone
Walkalone: simple emergency alert button on your phone screen.
Walkalone   puts a simple yet powerful emergency buton in the centre of your mobile phone screen  in case you need help urgently.   

Arm the tool   to have  the button active and  ready.


When tapped, Walkalone sends instant SMS's to  your registered contacts, dynamically addressing them and alerting them that the you're in danger, feel scared or that you don't feel safe. 

​The  alert contains a map (or a map link) which shows your current location.

Is Walkalone accurate?

Walkone uses the Google Maps API to provide a locational snapshot of where the user's mobile device is at the moment they trigger alerts to their emergency contact/s.

Extensive testing of the  Walkalone tool has proved it to be highly accurate in revealing the immediate vicinity of the user's mobile device  the moment the SMS alert is triggered. ​

There are times when it just makes good to have Walkalone on your phone. 

For example those times when there's simply no option but to walk home alone. Or for when youngsters   that have met up, part their ways and journey home  alone. 

 For when you become unexpectedly separated from friends or family... you just never know - better  to have the Walkalone tool than to wish you'd had it. The truth is you can never know when  this tool may be a life-saver.

Does Walkalone work everywhere?

​Testing has been carried out  across the UK. Due to SMS restrictions in other parts of the world  it's strongly advised to that users check first to see if your / your emergency contacts' mobile phones have been registered in any country outside of the UK. 
​
It's imperative that users test the Walkalone tool as soon as it is made live on your profile to satisfy yourself that the service works with your mobile​ network and the mobile network of your emergency contacts.

What is the cost of Walkalone?

Walkalone  is included with non-duiscounted Platinum Plan memberships when paid by monthly or annual direct debit.
Until December 2022, existing Platinum Plan members can add Walkalone to their plan at the discounted price of £23.88/year.
