Frequently Asked Questions
The village I'm posted to has very weak signal. Will it work?
The check-in requires minimal data—less than a text message. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can check in. Try from the spot with the best signal.
I'm a woman teacher posted alone to a rural area. Is this helpful?
Very much so. Your family gets daily confirmation of your safety. If you miss a check-in, they can immediately contact local authorities or your school administration.
What if there's a power outage and my phone dies?
If your phone dies and you can't check in, your family is alerted—which is exactly the right outcome. Keep a power bank charged as backup.
Can my school principal be my emergency contact?
Yes, if they're nearby and can respond. However, a family member who can escalate to authorities is often a better choice for after-hours emergencies.
My posting is temporary. Can I use this just for the duration of my rural assignment?
Absolutely. Use it during your posting and stop when you return to a city. There is no subscription, no commitment, and no cost. Many teachers use it specifically during rural stints and pause when they are back in familiar surroundings.
