The content of assistance messages is automatically
created by the handset. It always includes an up-to-date

that the alert was triggered. An email cannot exceed 160
characters, including the recipient's email address, and
users cannot personalise messages by entering additional
text. Here is an example of an assistance message:

the handset and press the button revealed. Alternatively,
from the main menu, select Location services >

Send assistance alert. The on-screen text informs you
that the alert will be sent in 15 seconds and that you can
select Alert now to send it immediately. You can cancel
the alert during this time, by pressing Cancel. Respond
as necessary. If alert messages have been configured,
they are then sent to the recipient(s). If alert call has been
configured, then the call is established. During the call, the
