SOS

What it is

A call for help that reaches your emergency contacts ahead of every other message.

Why it exists

Anyone can find themselves without signal just when they need help. Every ERERE phone gives priority to anyone's SOS, even when its battery is low.

How it works for you

Choose your emergency contacts. In the Network tab tap “Send SOS” twice. Whoever receives it sees a red message and a banner, also in the ERERE bell.

What you give

Priority to other people's SOS when they pass through your phone.

What you get

The same priority for yours.

What you choose

Who your emergency contacts are and whether to include your location (off by default; if included, it travels encrypted).

Honest limits

If nobody is near you and there's no internet, the SOS leaves at the first encounter. It doesn't replace emergency services: always call 112 if you can.
