BIARRITZ, France - In advance of the annual holiday period where many people travel to countries in search of sun or excitement, KFA Technologies today announced that it had created a new .tel domain to help people get near-instant access to emergency services worldwide from any device connected to the internet, including mobile phones - SOS1.tel (sos1.tel/).
“SOS1.tel is probably the most ambitious .tel site ever created so far,” explained Francois Amigorena, founder of KFA Technologies. “It gathers the emergency phone numbers of 134 countries worldwide and takes full advantage of the competitive edges of .tel technology.”
Travellers now simply need only to memorize SOS1.tel to be able to access contact information on PCs or mobile devices to the relevant emergency services in the country they are in, simply by typing it into the browser. .tel domains are not websites, which means that the data sent back is very quick and also low cost to access.
SOS1.tel lists more than four hundred emergency phone numbers (police, medical, fire, sea rescue, etc.) and other contacts in three languages (English, French and Spanish), all accessible via a simple an intuitive navigation tree (SOS1 > Continent > Country). People are then connected with one simple click.
Reporting possible wrong numbers or suggesting additional emergency phone numbers can be performed at feedback@SOS1.tel. .tel domains can be quickly updated as there is no web coding or programming required, and any information saved is automatically published to the internet within seconds.
Should you have only one favorite in your mobile browser this holiday season, this is the one. Look it up before you travel so it is even easier to find in times of trouble.
For more information about .tel domains, which have had over 200,000 registrations since their launch on March 24th 2009, please visit telnic.org.
