"To know a loved one got safely to their destination is an added comfort to parents, friends and loved ones. With the popularity of smart phones, "Safely There" enhances that time honored phrase "Call me when you get there". Now you can text message that confirmation without having to remember to do so" said Richard Strickland, the Developer of SAFELY THERE.
