Toot

Does the satellite stuff work in the UK and could it be bad for privacy?

I’m not sure if it works in the UK, but it’s really only meant for emergencies. Like if you’re lost in the wilderness with no cell phone signal and you’ve broken your leg. It really can only be activated when you dial 911 and don’t have signal, so I don’t expect that that’s something you’d want a lot of privacy for if you wanted you be, you know, rescued and alive. I think I’d be willing to sacrifice info like my name, location, and the nature of my emergency to stay alive but that’s just me. 😆

To contact emergency services when you don’t have a network coverage on your Pixel phone:
