Dial4Help News

Enda Kenny yesterday gave his approval to Dial4Help’s innovative Personal Alarm Service. It was a very welcome surprise when Enda Kenny arrived at the Innovation in Business Centre, Castlebar to meet local companies. Noticing our sign and display, the Irish Prime Minister asked for more information about Dial4Help and Stan Kuznetsov, CEO, was happy to oblige – “I was delighted to meet Enda Kenny today and have the opportunity to present Dial4Help’s service. It works as an ordinary panic button, but in a more effective and cost efficient way on your own mobile phone.” Mr. Kenny said “It is a great service and I would recommend it to anyone as a must have utility, as I can see the benefits in it”.

Dial4Help launched their Personal Alarm Service recently as a response to aggravated burglaries in rural areas in Ireland, amidst growing concern about the closure of many Garda stations. Stories of opportunistic burglars have hit the headlines in recent months and have many home owners concerned for their own safety, especially the elderly and vulnerable. Dial4Help’s unique service lets you register a text and voice message to be delivered automatically to your friends, relatives and neighbours when you need help fast. Calling for help is done by using our patented method by calling the freephone number 1800 911 000 via a speed dial on your own phone. You can activate it quickly and get your message for help out to your friends and family instantly, as the service is not monitored by monitoring stations, therefore precious time is not wasted. It even works if your phone is out of credit. Prices start at only €2 a month (without any commitments or contracts), and the service runs on your existing mobile or landline, so no extra purchases or installation are required.

Dial4Help recently exhibited at the Ideal Home Show in Dublin at the weekend and received a fantastic reception, “we ran out of flyers thanks to an overwhelming number of visitors,” remarked Stan, “we ran demonstrations on how the service works. We have had a lot of interest from people also wanting to set up a neighbourhood watch in their areas and, when you sign up for our main service, you automatically get our Community Inform Service free which allows anyone to report suspicious activity or get out a message of any kind to their group within minutes.”

You can register for Dial4Help on the website www.dial4help.net or by phoning +353 949 067 077.

The closures of Garda stations and increased crime have raised concerns about personal safety in recent times so it’s good to hear that Community Watch Groups really do work. In Turloughmore, County Galway this week, a community alert system successfully led to the arrest of 3 would-be burglars. Their activity was quickly reported to the community watch group so that the men were soon caught and arrested. Dial4help can help you set up an effective community alert service so you can respond quickly to any threat in your neighbourhood.

Our Community Inform Service (CIS) is easy to set up on our Dial4Help website. It’s incredibly low cost (less than the price of a coffee!) and gives you the peace of mind to feel safe in your community.
Today we are introducing a new lower price emergency text alert service, €2 a month gives you 10 free SMS text messages and voice alerts per month. And, for a limited period, when you sign up for 12 months, you get the first three months FREE.

Once signed up, if you see something suspicious in your neighbourhood, call 1800 INFORM (1800 46 36 76). You will receive a text instantly, reply to this text with the warning message you want to send to your community, they will then receive the text message within seconds and action can be taken. It couldn’t be easier.

TEQNOCO announced today (11th February 2013) that it is launching a new personal alarm system, Dial4Help, a mobile phone service that allows you to call for help at the touch of a button. Those living alone or feeling isolated can live independently and secure in the knowledge that help is at hand.
 
Quick and easy to set up, it works by setting the number 1800 911 000 to speed dial from your own mobile phone, when activated your personalised message will be instantly sent to your support network of friends and family who can respond immediately. Use the Community Inform Service to keep an eye on your neighbourhood and let home owners know of suspicious activity in your area by dialling a free phone number 1800-INFORM (1800 46 36 76).
 
Compared to expensive burglar alarm systems and various “panic button” solutions, it is a very affordable security system with pricing starting from as low as €5 a month. Setting up your account takes 5 minutes at www.Dial4Help.ie and another minute to set up your own mobile phone. It couldn’t be simpler.
 
Teqnoco is an international mobile technology firm based in the West of Ireland, with extensive experience in the telecom industry serving thousands of business customers worldwide since 2008.

Founder Stan Kuznetsov says: “by using our mobile phone technology we can assist whole communities to feel safer especially those who live on their own or in remote areas. At the push of a button, we can send a pre-set message to your support network, whether friends or family, asking for immediate assistance. If you have had a fall and need help you can use speed dial to send a message for help to your neighbour.  
Instead of waiting 20 – 30 minutes for emergency services to arrive, your friends and neighbours could be at the scene to assist you within minutes. Given the recent closures of local Garda stations I realised there was a real need to give people peace of mind and to feel safe and secure in their own home.  It’s cheap, easy to use and gives you and your family members’ peace of mind.
We will be  adding even more useful features in the coming weeks , such as video surveillance from a web-cam on your  PC or laptop, and geo-location of your mobile phone to name a few.”
