With Callyo's i911 first responders can create a free account at i911.com to view the precise location of individuals calling 911 from their iPhone, Android or other mobile devices.
Approximately 80 percent of 911 calls today come from mobile devices, but outdated infrastructure often makes it difficult for 911 centers to quickly and accurately obtain a mobile caller's location. "You think they know exactly where you are when you call 911 from your cell phone. They don't," says Chris Bennett, Callyo Founder & Chief Product Officer. In fact, the FCC estimates improving location accuracy could save over 10,000 lives per year.
Qualified first responders may create a free account at i911.com and begin locating calls for service within minutes. In keeping the focus on privacy, user data cannot be used for any non-emergency purpose and only authorized first responders will have access to the user's location.
