Emergency Services
In the event of a serious car crash, the phone alerts emergency services via satellite along with its current location. Users can also send emergency text messages via satellite when there is no cellular service. However, there have been reports of the first round of phones calling 911 on roller coaster rides or when dropped. Nevertheless, in December 2022, a couple made headlines after they were rescued from falling into a 300-foot California canyon because their iPhone signaled the call center. See
