Hola
Te escribo desde Cancun. Soy periodista. Me gustaría hacerte una entrevista sobre tu aplicación.
Greetings John. Congratulations on your app. Clearly, it has real potential for saving lives!
I’m curious about one aspect. Here in coastal Jalisco, our municipality uses a different call code than 911. I assume that this is true in other areas as well. Does your response team coordinate the number for all the various municipal call services, or do all the emergency services in Mexico use the same call numbers – something comparable to 911 in the U.S.? Thanks!
By way of input: All of the private hospitals in our go-to city of Vallarta require a credit card for admittance, even in an emergency. We have a friend who’s treatment for stroke was delayed several crucial hours due to having forgotten to take her card. You might consider working a reminder for this, plus bringing one’s passport, into your protocols. That and having your client’s medical alerts records on file to pass along to service providers you are contacting. All things easily forgotten in an emergency.
Finally, I’d like to take the opportunity to mention a new memoir ‘The Mexico Diaries, A Sustainable Adventure’ scheduled for release on Amazon Sept. 1, 2018. The book is a rollicking tale of Ex-Pat life in rural Mexico. It will be available as a free download on Kindle for the first five days!
I’ll look forward to hearing more about how your app works and will spread the word!
Hi JP
Terrific idea!! Have you tested this on main roads throughout Mexico? Some areas there is no service. Regardless I will be signing up. $100 for piece of mind? Hell of a value. Also if I have a flat tire or car trouble I can use it!

The payment process asks for a coupon number. I don’t have coupon. So how do I proceed?

Hi John. Do you cover rural areas such as La Penita,Guyabitos and Los Ayala all in Nayarit?
I would like to know if I’m in need of transport to a hospital and only 10 minutes from the San Ysidro border are there services available to take me directly to a U.S. Hospital using Medicare for I am disabled or would I be transferred to a hospital in Tijuana?
