We received many requests to add the ability to have the SOS button directly call a guardian. We listened and are very excited to have this option added to the new AngelSense Version!
Want to try it? Enable your AngelSense GPS device to make a direct call yourself! See instructions below.
You can enable your AngelSense GPS device so that when the SOS button is pushed, it will make a direct call to a user that has been granted voice permissions.
How can I use this feature?
- Click Main Menu > Settings > Voice & SOS
- In the SOS Button section, click “Call”, click Save

- Only Guardians with voice feature permissions can receive a call. Configure voice permissions in Settings > Users > Guardians
How do I change the designated user who receives the call?

Do I need to update my device to use this feature?
No, all GPS 4 and Watch firmware versions are already updated and can enable this feature. If you would like to be added to our beta testing for future features, please contact Customer Care.
Does this feature use voice minutes?
Yes, you can find a log and balance of all the voice minutes usage in your app call log. If you need more voice minutes, they can be added from the AngelSense Store in your app. Any additional voice minutes purchased via the app will carry over, don’t expire and only be used after the free 60 minutes are used each month.
Under what conditions can I expect this feature to possibly not function properly?
In order for any voice feature to go through, the AngelSense device needs to be in an area with at least 1 bar of cellular reception. You can check on the app status bar to verify reception. If there is limited reception where you are, your phone might not receive the call.
Additionally, if you have a school schedule set up for times that voice features are disabled, this feature will not work during those times.
What happens if I don’t answer the Call Direct?
The device calls the selected Guardian. If you want to give a different Guardian voice permissions, Click Main Menu > Users > Guardians > Edit > Extra Permissions > Voice Features > Save
How do you end the call?
It will automatically end when the person that received the call hangs up. The Angel can also disconnect the call from their device by pressing the SOS button on the front of the GPS 1 and GPS 4 and the red call end button on the Watch face.
