Abstract: A security services method for a wireless device, and related wireless devices, are disclosed. A security triggering event is monitored within the wireless device. This triggering event may be one or more of unauthorized loss of main battery power, activation of an emergency button on the wireless device or destructive tampering of the wireless device. In response to the security triggering event the device enters into an emergency beacon mode. While in the emergency beacon mode the device first contacts emergency services and then sends an emergency beacon message to the emergency services. In preferred embodiments the device also obtains its current location and then uses the current location to construct at least a portion of the emergency beacon message.
