Emergency services

Choose the country you are physically in, select a service and press the red button. You will always be asked to confirm before your phone dials.

Azerbaijan is shown as an example.

Not yet confirmed against a current official source. Check with local authorities if you can.

A call starts only when you press the button.

Your phone's dialer opens. The call goes through your phone's normal network.

What NOW SOS is not

  • NOW SOS is not an emergency service and does not guarantee rescue or a response.
  • It does not contact emergency services or other people on its own.
  • Calls go through your phone's normal network. Without signal or credit, a call may not connect.
  • Where a number is not verified, NOW shows an explanation instead of guessing a number.

In an emergency, always call your local emergency number directly if you can.
