SK Telecom launches personal security feature

SK Telecom, a leading telecommunications company in Korea launched a laudable feature. The Korea Herold reports the feature allows subscribers to instantly send text messages and map images of their location in case of emergency.

The satellite global positioning system-based technology allows the subscribers to send their information to four listed people with the push of a button. The receivers may then track the location of the caller for 48 hours as long as the cell phone remains on.

In times of terrorism, or during tragic accidents like the one that happened in neighbouring North Korea, this clearly is something that might be worthwhile noting.
