S8+ and Wifi calling

[cardboard60]

Wanted to make a topic

If you want to use Wifi calling on the new Samsung phone.
And I'm being told its a national law.
I do not like it.
They want you to put in a 911 address.

I refuse to put a 911 address in to use it.
More government being forced on me.

I have advanced calling/wifi enabled and did not see a prompt to set a 911 address, although the Verizon manual says its needed. Regardless, 911 is for your safety, its not a government takeover. Egad.

I will be 67 yrs old August.
The VERY LAST THING I WANT, IS FOR ANYBODY WORRYING ABOUT MY SAFETY !
If I had of known this. I might of bought a different phone.
The last thing you need to do is call 911 for me or my wife.

I'm not worrying about your safety. Basing a decision on not buying a fabulous phone because of government paranoia is beyond dumb.
I have absolutely no intention of calling anyone on your behalf. And, I'm older than you are, but have still maintained my sanity and grip on reality. Well, mostly.

Then don't complain or file a lawsuit when you're badly injured and can't speak to give your location and you die because they have trouble finding you.

Geezz. Stupid for stupid sake.

Got around it.
Under no reason do I want anybody to call 911 for me..
I will not call 911.
If you can't call the local authorities..
Don't do nothing.
Don't care who dont like it.

Do you understand that 911 can save your life?

 

[cardboard60]

Didn't ask anybody to save my life.

But my Doctor.

If I'm hurt do not call 911 for me.

make sure to turn off GPS and the forward facing camera so the government cannot locate you.
