Does the app work without signal? Without phone signal, the app functions the same as when you have no data connection: you can view the location of any what3words address you enter. You can also navigate to it using compass mode. To share a what3words address over the phone or in a text message you need phone signal.
How do you call the police if you can’t talk?
If you need urgent police help but cannot speak, you should:
- Dial 999.
- Listen to the questions from the operator.
- Respond by coughing or tapping your device, if you can.
- If prompted, press 55 to let the operator know it's a genuine emergency and you'll be put through to police.
