A computer-implemented method includes establishing a communication link between a first device of a first party and a second device of a second party that allows a communication between the first party and the second party, and periodically receiving a signal from the first device indicating a remaining battery power level of the first device during the communication. The method further includes communicating an alert to the second device over the communication link to notify the second party that the first device is near a battery power loss if the remaining battery power level falls below a predetermined threshold.
