How much is this SOS feature on iPhones? I believe I heard it's free trail for the iPhone 14 but there is a subscription fee from what I recall.

Apple says it's free for two years from when you get the phone, and hasn't said anything about how much it'll cost after that period. I bet they haven't decided yet, because... well, they won't have to deal with it for another year and a half at this point.

Wow two years of free service is nice. I was just thinking it's such a useful feature but if you don't pay for it and get lost you can't just simply activate it lol. Hmm.

It's interesting because some dedicated emergency satellite devices actually work like that. My Garmin Inreach warns me every time I start it up that it will not do an emergency SOS call if I don't have an active subscription.

Oh that's neat. Sounds super useful. I'm surprised Samsung isn't pushing for this feature.
