About LogMeIn Rescue + Mobile
LogMeIn Rescue + Mobile is an extension of LogMeIn's award winning LogMeIn Rescue service. The Rescue service is highly scalable and easily configurable for thousands of technicians, serving more than six million Rescue sessions since its launch just two years ago. Using LogMeIn Rescue + Mobile, technicians can now simultaneously support smartphones and computers from a single console.
LogMeIn Rescue + Mobile is easy for both the technician and the customer to use. A support technician simply directs the device owner to a webpage, www.RescueMobile.com, where a small applet is downloaded to the mobile device. The phone user is provided a connection code that securely links the technician to the end user's phone. The technician then requests permission from the end user to remotely control the mobile device. Once permission is granted, the technician can make fixes, update software, conduct training sessions or configure settings -- even view the display and use the keypad, as if the phone were in his hand.
