How To Activate Emergency SOS On Your Mobile Device When In Trouble by Kunja2: 6:52pm On Nov 14, 2020
Make sure you always configure your Emergency SOS on your Mobile device. With just a click it would send a quick SMS to any number you input there.

I used Tecno Camon 16 cos it's quite easy to set up on it but you can do it as well on any smartphone device.

Here is how you can do it:

1. Go to Settings

2. Click on Emergency SOS or Search for SOS on the search bar if you cant find it.

3. Make sure the Call with Slide Button & Auto Call is Activated.

4. Add Emergency Contacts -

This way, when you press the side button of your phone, it automatically either send a distress SMS or Call to your emergency contact.

It would go a long way to alert people when in danger.

Nice post, very informative meanwhile I've always wanted to know, when sending this SOS or emergency calls, does it use your airtime? Cos most times your sim might not even be on so how exactly does it work? Is it a free call or something?

just click on the power button like 5 or 3 times and it will place a call to your trusted party.
