    Android phones - Disable Emergency SOS

    A recent update on some Android phones is causing them to call 999. This has resulted in many silent calls. A silent call can tie-up a line for up to 20 minutes. If your phone makes a call, you should stay on the line to explain.
    Google is advising users to disable the feature until they fix it. Disable the feature as follows:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Go to Safety & Emergency.
    3. Slide Emergency SOS button to off.
