If using the 2 year Google Fi free data/text promotion, how do you initiate satellite SOS since there is no phone service to call 911? Is there a way to test/simulate like on the Pixel 9 phone? null

Great question, DonT. Here’s how to initiate Satellite SOS on the Pixel Watch 4:

1. Dial the emergency services line in your area, like 911 in the US. If you don't have a mobile or Wi-Fi network, you'll find an option to use Satellite SOS in the dialer.
2. Tap Satellite SOS > Use Satellite SOS > Start.
3. To describe your emergency, fill out the emergency questionnaire.
4. To share your emergency with your emergency contacts, answer the on-screen questions.
5. To connect to the satellite, follow the on-screen prompts to correctly position your watch. Connection and response times vary based on location, site conditions, and other factors.
6. Once you're connected, the emergency service provider should reply via text within a few minutes. To receive replies, stay outside with a clear sky above. When you would like to end the satellite text conversation, press End and follow the prompts.

Here’s how to access the Satellite SOS demo:
1. On your watch, swipe down and tap Settings.
2. Tap Safety & Emergency.
3. Follow the demo instructions.
