No. Your emergency contacts do not need to download the app to receive alerts from you. Alerts are sent automatically as phone calls and SMS directly to their phones.
You only need to add your emergency contacts’ mobile phone numbers in the Plegium app. When you activate your spray or alarm button, your emergency contacts will receive phone calls and SMS from a Swedish phone number.
We recommend asking your emergency contacts to save Plegium’s phone number in their contacts so they know who is calling if you trigger an alert. Calls come from +46 8 446 820 20, and we suggest naming the contact “PLEGIUM - ALERT”.
