SkyCall texts everyone on your site the moment lightning is inside the distance your policy names, and again when it has cleared. You make the call, with facts.

Fifteen kids on the pitch. One coach, eyes on the game. And a storm building behind him that nobody's watching. That's the moment SkyCall exists for — the tap on the shoulder from the sky.
Sample log.
| Site | Time | Alert | Delivered |

| Riverside Oval | 15:34:02 | All clear | 8 of 8 |
Every alert timestamped and logged around the clock, with each number's send status. Exportable from the portal: the record your weather policy and your regulator expect, kept for you.
Know when to stop. Prove when you did. Your policy names a distance. Someone still has to eyeball every storm against it — and prove, afterwards, that everyone was told in time. SkyCall turns your written lightning policy into live alerts — your distances, your people, your record.

Five fields. We email you your sign-in link; in the portal you add numbers and hours and start your plan. Your own number is on from the start. Every number you add gets one text — they reply YES and they're on; no YES, no messages to them, ever.
SkyCall Lightning Alerts. An Australian information service.
Know when to stop. Prove when you did.
Questions: support@skycall.com.au
No. SkyCall is an Australian information service that supports your site's weather policy. We tell you lightning is within your configured distances, and we tell you the elapsed time with no lightning within that distance. The decision to stop or restart work always belongs to your company policy.
Anywhere in Australia. The lightning network covers the whole country, so your site's ring works wherever the site is. We confirm it the moment you register — before any invoice exists.
Every alert: site, timestamp, alert type, and each number's send status. Exportable from the portal for your records. Send status means the SMS provider accepted the message for delivery.
Yes. Your site sets the clean wait; the all-clear states the elapsed time and distance only.
Not unless they choose to. Alerts follow your site's operating hours; any number can opt in to around-the-clock alerts in the portal. Every text is logged around the clock regardless.
Yes — contractors often are. Messages are site-named, so they always know which site an alert is for. STOP removes a number from all sites instantly.
We built SkyCall the way we want our own numbers treated — and we don't hand ours to anyone. So the policy is short.
We store what the service needs and nothing more: your site name and address (and its map position), your email, the alert numbers and each number's YES or STOP state, each site's operating hours, the alert log, and a payment reference. That's the whole list.
Your numbers are used for alerts. Not for marketing. Not for "occasional updates". Not for a newsletter you didn't ask for. We will never sell them, rent them, share them or add them to a list — ours or anyone else's. The only companies that ever touch your details are the ones that do a job for you on our instruction: the SMS carrier that delivers each message, Resend for email, and Stripe for card payments — card details never touch our systems.
Your site, numbers and alert log are stored in Australia (Cloudflare's Oceania region, Brisbane). Texts are carried by ClickSend, stored in Australia with service monitoring overseas. Email — sign-in links and alert emails — is sent and stored overseas by Resend. Reply STOP to any message and that number goes silent everywhere, instantly. Close your account and ask, and your data is deleted — you keep your exported logs; we keep nothing.
No advertising trackers, no analytics cookies. We count page visits without cookies and without knowing who you are. The address picker on the register form uses Google Maps: Google sees the address search; we store only the address you choose, and the Maps script loads only when you reach the form.
