you can now try it yourself on iPhone

Do you have an iPhone 14 and would you like to try out the new SOS emergency notification via satellite function without immediately calling the emergency services? Which can! We show you exactly how!

Try SOS emergency notification on iPhone 14

Emergency SOS via satellite is only available on iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 14 Plus. Since its introduction, the feature has not been available in the Netherlands, but that has changed with the release of iOS 16.4.

With SOS emergency notification via satellite, you can call the emergency services via a special type of text message. The good thing is that this function also works when your iPhone has no reach. We hope you never really need the function, but it is of course useful to know how the function works.

That’s why it’s smart to try out the SOS emergency notification (via satellite) on the iPhone 14 series. You can do this without immediately calling the emergency services. You can read exactly how to do that below.

Then follow the instructions on the screen, which will show you exactly what to do in the event of an emergency. Just make sure you’re outside so you can properly test the SOS emergency on your iPhone.

Keep in mind that your mobile data will be turned off while testing the satellite connection. You cannot make or receive calls or connect to the internet.
