SOS via phone fall?

[andyw715]

Walked my first 5K the weekend before Christmas.

I'm a mile in.
I get a txt from my wife "r u ok?"

I'm thinking to myself; "yeah"

So I call her on my watch and she says she got a Emergency SOS from me.

So I say, well maybe my watch bumped up against my wrist and activated it or something.

At the end of the walk I look at her phone and see the SOS was sent a half hour before race start. So the only thing I can think is that when I "threw" my phone into the car door's side pocket thing it activated SOS ???

Anyway the funny thing is the timing.

8:30 am - SOS call rec'd from Andy

9:15 am - r u ok?

9:18 am - nope too late I'm dead.

Moral of the story, ensure your emergency contact is a little speedier when responding to SOS notifications

That's kind of the job of the police, who also got a call from your watch or phone. Hope you weren't talking about drug deals!

Well I didn't see an outgoing call on my phone or watch....so maybe the phone does something else?

Check your carrier records. They purposely do not show 911 calls in your call history to prevent accidental redials. This was mandated in the early 2000s.
