To read the received position information the mobile phone needs a browser (all 
modern phones have a one by default). Alarm messages with position 
information can also be sent to one (only one) email address.

Can   prepay   SIM   cards   be   used?   

You can use a prepaid SIM card, but it is recommended to use a running 
subscription to ensure that it is always possible to make a call or to send SMSs 
from YOYOCare. One option is have automatic charging of the prepaid card.

How   much   does   it   cost   to   use   YOYOCare?   

Apart from the purchase price of YOYOCare there is a cost for the mobile 
subscription. 

Look for the cheapest subscription (or prepaid SIM cards) that has voice, SMS, 
MMS and data services. 

Typically YOYOCare consumes a very small amount of data traffic (1-3 kb each 

time YOYOCare is switched on), but a larger amount of SMSs. The amount of 
SMS and voice traffic is entirely dependent on the user. MMS is used only to 
send photos (on request) and to send alert messages to an e-mail address 
(when the alarm button is pressed). Has an e-mail address not been registered, 
then alerts will be sent by SMS only. 

In addition to the purchase price for YOYOCare comes the cost for the mobile 
subscription.

Does   YOYOCare   work   everywhere?   

Just like with regular mobile phones YOYOCare will work wherever there is GSM 
coverage, anywhere in the world. Depending on the type of subscription calls 
abroad may be restricted. 

Coverage can vary depending on which operator is chosen and how good the 
coverage is in the area where you want to use the safety phone. If the user
