If a person falls and their Apple Watch triggers an emergency call, what agency responds? Is it like dialing 911, or is there some other emergency monitoring service/company involved?
Apple Watch
Hi there chronicbackpain,
We see you have a question about the Emergency SOS function and where the emergency call is routed. That's a great question, and we're happy to provide an answer.
The Emergency SOS feature will call local emergency services rather than a monitoring company. You can learn more about this feature in the resources linked below:
Use Emergency SOS on your Apple Watch
We hope that answers your question.
Enjoy your day.

Fantastic! Thank you for clarifying. One other question: do the local 911 dispatchers fine me or get angry if I have too many false alerts?
Where does emergency call go? Is it simply like dialing 911?
