First of all, it’s more like at least 8 seconds and yes, auto dial is turned off by default. On the other hand Apple has made this available after pressing the power button 5 times quickly and I really don’t see any chance at all where you would accidently press the power button 5 times quickly enough to trigger this, it takes a pretty deliverate effort to do this. I definitely turned this on because in a pinch that is something I can do with one hand and even if the phone is in my pocket and I definitely like this extra piece of mind.

If you go to settings and emergency S-O-S you can turn auto dial on and off. By default auto dial is off which means that after pressing the power button five times you would have to confirm that calling emergency services is your intention. If auto dial is on it will call emergency services in three seconds after pressing the power button five times.

Is this turned off by default so you don’t trigger it not wanting to? Or do you have to go in and turn it off? JI am just asking cause I really don’t want to activate it unless I need it. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
