  1. Everything you need to know about Apple’s iPhone safety feature Apple stepped into the world of satellite communication with the launch of the iPhone 14, introducing something called Emergency SOS via satellite. But what is it, how does this feature work and where is it available?

  2. What is Emergency SOS via satellite? Emergency SOS via satellite is a safety feature that Apple introduced on the iPhone 14 models. It’s designed to let you get in touch with emergency services in areas where you don’t have reception. That means that if you’re beyond Wi-Fi or cellular — you have no signal —you’ll be able to relay a message via satellites to get the help you need. More info about Emergency SOS Via Satellite. This is a messaging system —you can’t use it to place calls or anything else —it’s for emergencies only and will be routed through to the appropriate emergency services. If you do try to call to emergency services, an the messaging interface will appear instead to help. How to use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone First of all, you’ll need an iPhone 14 for this to work — thanks to hardware in the phone and support in iOS 16. Second, you’ll need to be in a place where you have no coverage. As mentioned, if you try calling the emergency services first of all — but if you have no connection, you’ll be offered the option send text via satellite.

  3. You’ll then be guided through the process: 1.Tap Emergency Text via Satellite. 2.Tap Report Emergency. 3.Answer the questions to provide essential details. 4.You can choose to notify your emergency contacts. 5.Follow the onscreen instructions to connect to a satellite. 6.Make sure you stay connected so the message can send. You’ll then be able to text with emergency services to ensure that they have all the information they need. The information will include the nature of the emergency, how much battery life you have left and your location. It’s all encrypted, however, and if the emergency service doesn’t accept text messages, it will be relayed via an Apple service provider. How to connect your iPhone to a satellite While you can’t just open your phone and opt to connect to a satellite, there are some things you need to know about using your phone when connected to satellite.

  4. You’ll be guided into the satellite connection phase once you’ve answered the emergency questions and you’re ready to send the compressed, encrypted, message. First of all, you need a clear view of the sky and a clear horizon — mountains, buildings, and even trees can block the signal, so you want it to be as open as possible. And don’t put your phone in your pocket or bag, keep it in your hand. The on-screen images will give you an indication of when you’re connected, as well as advise on whether you need to turn left or right to maximise the connection. There may be gaps in satellite coverage, but you’ll be advised how long it is until you’ll have a connection again. https://www.campadelectronics.com.au/blog/?p=4716
