"Calling 911: My husband’s iPhone 10x keeps calling 911. He has the usual stuff turned off and he has rebooted it. His phone also, after it calls 911, calls his stepfather. His stepfather is an emergency contact for him. The weird thing is that he also gets spam replies from Wisconsin. We are in Canada. He has never got a response from local emergency services berating him for false calls. Could his phone be hacked? What else could be going on?"
