Hi Chimex202,


Being able to alert someone in the event of an emergency is critical. We're happy to look into this trouble you're having with the Emergency SOS not sending texts to your contacts. Since this happened on two different phones, were you using the same emergency contacts on both? Have you tried other contacts, and if so does the issue persist?


Get back to us with those details, and we can look into it further for you.


Take care and be safe.

Hey Chimex2020,


Thanks for the follow-up info. Let's look into this a little further. Are you able to send a regular MMS text to any of your current emergency contacts? Have you contacted your wireless carrier about this MMS issue you're having? And do you report the telemarketing callers using an app? If do, can you disable that app and try your emergency text again?


Let us know the outcome, and we can go from there if needed.


Have a great day!
