Deep cut on my forearm, bleeding a lot. How do I stop it?
Press hard with the cleanest cloth, 10 minutes, don't peek. Keep the arm above heart level. Soaks through? Add layers on top. Won't slow? Use your SOS.

First aid · Always free

First aid is always free. Even if you never pay us.

Urgent first-aid questions (CPR, choking, severe bleeding, burns, stings, poisoning) get a full answer free, for everyone, at any balance. So set it up as insurance you hope never to use: send one free text now and the number is in your phone for the worst day, whether or not you ever buy anything.

Save it now, while you still have bars. When something goes wrong out there, the number is already in your phone.

Not a medical service. In a life-threatening emergency, use your device's SOS first.

Why it exists

AI for national parks and beyond. No internet required.

Most national parks and backcountry sit far beyond reliable coverage. Past the trailhead, dead zones are the norm, not the exception. NoService AI puts an advanced AI assistant on the one channel that still works out there: a plain text message, over SMS or satellite.

FAQ

Answers before the answers.

How do messages work?+

One message = one question and its answer. Long answers arrive as 2-3 texts and still count as one message. Your first 3 are free. After that, get the $15 pack (100 messages) or go unlimited for $7.99/mo. Text BALANCE anytime to check what's left.

Do first aid questions cost a message?+

No. Urgent first-aid questions (CPR, choking, severe bleeding, burns, stings, poisoning) are answered in full for free, for everyone, even at zero balance, up to a daily safety cap. They never count against your pack or subscription. In a life-threatening emergency, use 911 or your device's SOS first.

Do messages expire?+

The $15 pack is valid for 12 months. On the Always Ready plan there's nothing to count, it's unlimited while your subscription is active.

Can I top up when I'm already off-grid?+

Yes, if a card is saved in advance. Top-ups run over plain SMS: text BUY and we charge your saved card, no internet needed. No card on file + no signal = no way to pay, so set it up while you still have bars.

Which satellite networks work?+

Any phone that sends SMS, plus satellite messaging via Apple Messages via satellite (iPhone 14 and newer), Starlink Direct to Cell, T-Mobile satellite, ZOLEO, Globalstar, and SPOT. If it can text our number, it works.

What about privacy?+

We never sell your data, and old conversations auto-delete. We keep only what's needed to run your account. Note that SMS and satellite messaging are not end-to-end encrypted, so don't send anything you'd consider sensitive.

How does billing & cancellation work?+

Buy packs one-off, or subscribe monthly and cancel anytime. Text STOP to end everything. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.

What can I ask?+

Anything you'd ask a well-read friend: gear fixes, first-aid steps, plant and animal ID, weather judgment, cooking ratios, translations, fuel-range math. One question per text works best.

How fast are replies?+

Usually under a minute over cell or Wi-Fi texting. Satellite messengers add their own hop time depending on sky view. The answer arrives as soon as your device syncs.

Do I need an app or account?+

No app, no signup. Your phone number is your account. Just text the number and you're in. Credits follow your number across any device that can reach us.

How does inviting a friend work?+

Text INVITE and we reply with your personal link. When a friend joins through it and makes their first purchase, you both get a reward: a free month of unlimited on the subscription path (renews at $7.99/mo, cancel anytime), or +50 messages on the pay-as-you-go path. One reward per new number, see Terms for the fine print.
