automatically send your location to Global Rescue once per
minute for 10 minutes, and then every 10 minutes thereafter.
At this point you can communicate any details with them via
text message. Global Rescue will keep you apprised of the
rescue plan and status.
If you need to cancel the SOS call, you can do so by touching

Depending on your location and needs, you may be
responsible for any cost associated with a rescue operation.
