In the InfoCons Free App, the list of all useful and emergency numbers at the local, national, and international levels is intuitively named ‘SOS,’ serving as a universally recognized acronym. Upon selection, the useful and emergency numbers appear in both English and the language of the selected country. The SOS numbers include Ambulance, Police, Consumer Protection, Fire, Border Police, Tourism, Public Health, City Hall, Environment, and Telecommunications.

In today’s geopolitical context and global security situation, direct access to useful national and international emergency numbers, unhindered by language barriers, is imperative to solving immediate problems.
