Accidentally made an emergency call?

When I got my cell phone out of my pocket, it said something with an emergency call. I'm quick to cancel! What could it have been (Huawei smartphone) and what could happen?

If such an emergency call was made is it then also displayed in the telephone call list?

If you were fast enough, nothing happened.

Actually nothing happens - usually yes, best regards

Any mobile phone can make an emergency call even when it is locked. In an emergency you don't want to unlock your mobile phone. You always have to type in 112 or 110 or something like that, if you only saw the selection field, nothing happened. Even if it was, it was an accident

Then the fire brigade is not coming?

Not much happens if you call by mistake. At most a small recall whether everything is ok or whether you are somehow in danger. Otherwise nothing will come your way.

One would have to be somehow abusive or abusive "unconscious" that what is happening.

If you've only seen the field without a phone call or something, nothing comes of course

So if you accidentally call someone back?

No does not have to be. But if your call was answered and the other side only hears a rustling, they could call back.

Even if they call back, the only questions are whether you are ok and you just say Jo. Then it's checked. Still, I guess not much will happen, don't worry

Many cell phones have an emergency call function in the volume up / down buttons or the screen lock. If you press this x times, the mobile phone dials the emergency call. But you can deactivate it.

What could that have been

On your side? Perhaps inadvertently switched on the screen and then hit the "Emergency Call" button on the lock screen.

On the side of the control center? A call to the emergency number that suddenly broke off. You don't know whether it was an accident or whether the person actually wanted to call for help, but maybe the battery was empty at that moment.

and what could happen?

In practice: nothing.

Yes, the person at the control center will wonder whether someone really needs help. However: he can do nothing. Okay, he sees your cell phone number. Cell phone location doesn't work nearly as well as it is shown on TV - it takes hours and then you get a radius that would be far too big for a search with 10 dog teams. That means: I have no idea where to send help if you assumed an emergency.

Misuse of emergency call facilities is also out of the question, because such "accidental emergency calls" occur frequently and it is known that in such a case an active wrong action can't be assumed and certainly not proven.

That means, the whole result of such a story is that a person worries whether something might have happened after all and in the stupidest case you might find a corpse in the forest with a cell phone in hand.

I'm quick to cancel!

Understandable if you ask yourself "wtf is going off now". However, I would suggest answering briefly next time and saying that it was a mistake and that everything is fine. Then nobody worries.

Thank you for your very detailed answer! I would have answered, but the doorbell didn't even ring

Yes, even then I would have let the doorbell ring and briefly given notice. But you don't always think about it in the hustle and bustle ^^
