What makes WeatherCall NexGen different than your app or WEA (wireless emergency alert) system?

 

o WeatherCall NexGen can contact you via phone calls, text messages, and email, meaning you can also get a phone call to a landline.  An app is only on your cell phone and many times we miss a push alert from apps since we get so many. Add In WEA, and unless you have the newest phone on the newest network, you may end up with alerts that do not impact you or may not get alerts at all.

 

• Why do I need another source of information when I have my “weather app?”

 

o How often do we get push alerts and ignore them or miss them by hours? With a phone call, you’re more likely to see it than a push alert and if the call does not get answered, WeatherCall will call you back.

 

• What are the downfalls of using a weather app as your only source of warning information?

 

o Weather apps are GREAT for getting the forecast and for staying up to date on Incoming weather, but if you travel a lot, or must commute for work/school, you may get alerts for the wrong location. In recent years, phone developers have started limiting how often ANY app can ping the GPS meaning you may get alerts

for a location you are no longer located at.

 

• Is WeatherCall NexGen a free service?

 

o No, reliable weather communication isn't automated or free to produce.  WeatherCall is powered by "real meteorologists, local data and continuous monitoring - so when alerts go out, they are accurate, timely, and trusted.  That level of reliability requires real people, real infrastructure, and real accountability.  WeatherCall is not an app, it's a service from real meteorologists.

 

• How much does WeatherCall cost?

 

o For just $1.25 a month, that's about the cost of a cup of coffee spread out over weeks, you get human-verified local weather alerts you can trust when it matters the most..
