When Every Second Matters, Choose Namola Plus
As of the 1st of March 2026, the free Namola service no longer allows users to press the SOS button and create an emergency alert unless they are subscribed to Namola Plus. This article shares why this transition brings something much better in return, a far more reliable, fast, and comprehensive emergency response experience.
For years, the Namola app gave users something invaluable, a digital lifeline at their fingertips. That lifeline has taken a new shape, one that brings significantly faster responses, personalised support, and access to private medical and armed services, through Namola Plus.
Why Namola Plus? Because Help Should Be Fast – and Always There
Imagine this:
You’re travelling, it’s late, and something goes wrong. You reach for your phone and you don’t have to scramble for a number, figure out who’s closest, or hope someone answers.

- 🚑 Access to private medical services – not just public emergency lines
