If you’re ever lost, injured, or stranded (say your car breaks down or you run out of fuel), and your mobile signal is poor or your battery is running low, here’s a tip that could help rescuers find you.
If you still have signal, change your voicemail greeting to include:
- Your approximate location
- The date and time
- What’s happened (e.g. broken down, lost, out of fuel)
- What you’re doing next (e.g. staying put or walking towards help)
This way, anyone calling you will hear that message — even if your phone later loses power or signal.
If you don’t have signal to update your voicemail, try sending a text with the same info to a trusted contact — texts often send even when calls won’t go through.
A quick action like this can save vital time in an emergency.
