I called 911 when I was setting up my iPhone 8. I put it in the case while the phone was on and it pressed the power and volume buttons at the same time in the process of doing that. You need to go into settings and emergency SOS. Turn off the auto dial feature so that you have to confirm if you want to call 911. Otherwise it will auto dial in five seconds if you ever press those two buttons again.

    Hi Mary and all,

    Finally I got my phone working.

    I went to the apple store and they gave me a new phone.  They
    tried to restore my iPhone several times and it remained stuck in
    the same place I saw in my home when I tried to set it up.

    The technician did not want to waste too much time.  She gave me a
    new phone.  The new one works seamlessly.  The only mistake I made
    is to dial 911 by mistake.  I still do not know what I did exactly
    to make such a mistake, but I hope I won’t do it again.

    As far as the transfer of my apps and keyboards, everything went well.

    Cheers,

    Cris

    Wow, Chris! What a hassle! I certainly hope they get this sorted
    for you.

    PS do you use the Arabic keyboard on your phone? If you do, I will
    be very curious how that transfer works for you, since my second
    language keyboard is no where and evidence, although it is said to
    be so into settings. That switch were you switch from one keyboard
    to another while in it and it is simply not there.

        Thanks Arlene,

        In fact I tried every trick in the book and none worked.  The
        problem was not in starting up Voice Over, That was easy.  The
        problem is that voice over dies in the middle of the set up
        process and the iPhone freezes.

        Last night I called the Apple disability support.  The
        technician and I spent over an hour trying to find a fix to no
        avail.

        I gave her access to my laptop and also gave her access to my
        phone camera and we tried very hard to get the setup of the
        new iPhone going, but we failed.

        Tomorrow I have an appointment with the apple store in my
        area.  Hopefully they will be able to figure out the problem,
        or give me a new iPhone.  We shall see!

        Cheers,

        Cris

        Cris, I don't know if this will help, but this is what we did
        with our ipad when we didn't have anyone hear to get the ipad
        going. When we got our ipad about a year ago I tripple tapped
        the home button on the ipad and it began talking. I don't know
        if this will work with the phone, and if nothing else as
        worked yet, maybe you could give it a try. Another thought,
        you might want to install itunes on your computer, if you
        don't already have it installed, hook your phone up to your
        computer and see what you could do to get your phone going.
        You probably have a solution by now with listers that have
        responded to you, but I hope you could find a solution soon,
        and let us know how you like your new phone.

            Hi folks,

            I bought a new iPhone XR and I can’t set it up.

            First I tried the quick start as suggested by apple by
            putting it next to my old phone, , and it did not work.

            I then tried to set it up using the iTunes to no avail.

            Now I am stuck.  I can’t even get it to go into recovery
            mode to wipe it clean.

            What do you suggest I do?

            When I do the command for recovery mode, I get a message
            on iTunes telling me that iTunes cannot connect to the
             iPhone until I enter a passcode.  Try again or cancel.

            I never had a problem like this with apple products. 
            Could it be that my phone is defective or is there
            something wrong with the new iPhone compatibility with the
            iTunes?

            Any ideas will be appreciated.

            Regards,

            Cris
