Good news for Google Pixel 9 users in the United States! As tipster Mishaal Rahman has revealed, Google is now launching a new feature called Satellite SOS for the Pixel 9 series smartphones.
Currently, the Satellite SOS is rolling out for Pixel 9 series phones in the US. This means that if you have a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, you’ll be able to access this new safety feature.
This emergency feature is expected to roll out to additional countries and other Pixel devices in the future.
The Satellite SOS is a safety feature designed to help you in emergencies when you’re in areas with no cell phone coverage. Whether you’re on a remote hike, camping, or simply in a place without a signal, this feature ensures you can still call for help.
Here’s how it works:
If you find yourself in an emergency and can’t reach emergency services through your usual phone network, Satellite SOS will use satellite technology to send out a distress signal.
The satellite service is provided by Skylo, and Garmin will handle the emergency response to ensure that help arrives as quickly as possible.
The best part? Satellite SOS is free for the first two years after you activate it. This means you can use this crucial safety feature without worrying about additional costs during that initial period.
