Häufige Fragen rund um den mobilen Notruf
What does NOA really cost — are there any hidden fees?
A one-time device fee: NOA Mini €69.99 or NOA Watch €69.99. You choose the plan directly when ordering — e.g. €24.99/month (cancellable monthly) or €274.89/year (annual plan). SIM, roaming, GPS, messaging and accessories are all included. The first time each month that the 24/7 emergency call centre takes over an alarm is free of charge. Every further response costs a flat €15 – regardless of the outcome. This keeps the centre free for real emergencies. No activation fee, no per-message charge, no contract lock-in.
Does the wearer need a smartphone or app?
No — using the device itself requires no smartphone and no app. NOA has its own SIM card, mobile connection, GPS, speaker and microphone. It works fully independently, even if the wearer doesn't own a phone.
What happens if none of the three people answers?
The process is a clear chain: 1. NOA calls the stored trusted contacts one after the other and at the same time sends the GPS location to all message recipients. 2. If no one is reached on the first pass, NOA automatically starts the chain again from the beginning. 3. If no one confirms the alarm, the 24/7 emergency call centre automatically takes over as a backstop and initiates help — the first takeover each month is free, every further one costs a flat €15. We recommend storing three trusted contacts with different daily routines.
Does NOA work abroad?
Yes. NOA works in all EU countries plus Switzerland and the UK. SIM card and roaming are included in the monthly service price — at no extra cost.
Knowledge is good.
