2G shutdown Switzerland – check your EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEM

By switching off the 2G network, many emergency call systems will no longer work in Switzerland from January 01st, 2021. We would like to inform you about this so that you are informed in advance and can take appropriate measures.

It is important to ensure that the emergency watch or home alarm system is at least compatible with the new software for 3G or higher. This means that the emergency call system must be suitable for at least the 3G network. We at Alarmbands offer emergency bracelets for the 3G or 4G network. Visit us on our website for more information.

We would also like to point out that you should change your network operator in Switzerland immediately at your own expense, otherwise you could be without a network from January 01, 2021. This could be particularly dangerous for seniors who use an emergency call system at home.

Most customers have already been notified of this change via SMS, message, email or letter, however some notifications may have been lost.

On the website GPS online You have the opportunity to check your models and control which devices are affected in order to be informed in time. More information about roaming is important as GSM providers are also affected by this change. It is therefore advisable to inform yourself in advance and act in good time.
