We've been asked several times how our phone app leads users back to their car, hotel, home, or some other safe location without requiring data service.  We put together a video of a first time user to help you understand how it works.

Lost without a Signal: Far More Common than You Realize

Protect yourself and your loved ones by buying our products from our Indiegogo campaign.

It's surprisingly difficult to find good statistics on the number of people who get lost or stranded without a mobile phone signal.  It's even more difficult to find the number of people who die in these accidents.  Whether searching for global, American, or even local information, the fragmented nature of search and rescue and the fact that many of the victims are never even known to be lost makes quantifying this sort of event a daunting prospect.  We're obviously interested in solving this problem - that's what our Indiegogo campaign is all about.

Successfully making a cell call where the phone without our Signal Enhancer indicated no service

We drove from San Jose, California to Lovelock, Nevada on Saturday, December 28, 2013 in a Ford Explorer and reached town about an hour and a half before sunset.  We didn't want to waste daylight, so we drove around the outskirts of town taking cell phone signal strength data with the DOTS911 app, recording red (no service), yellow (marginal service), and green (usable service) dots every 1/4 mile on a  map.  In Lovelock we saw good coverage, indicated by exclusively green dots.
