I don't think this is newsworthy at this point. My Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 both are unreliable when trying to call 911, calling with an over the top app or dialing the PSAP's number directly are the only workarounds.
Google doesn't give a fuck about this issue. I have filed repeated support cases over the past year with Google about this when using T-Mobile or Verizon.
- conradfr 4y agoI would say a life or death years old bug still present in the newest model (on which I'm writing this) is newsworthy. Although I'm not sure how there's no legal repercussion here?

- yreg 4y agoThat makes little sense. "It's the users who are wrong" ideology applies when you tell the customers they are holding the iPhone 4 wrong. Or when you ask them whether they don't have phones when you reveal the next Diablo as mobile-only. No company would argue that users are wrong and that they are not supposed to dial emergency services.
- creshal 4y agoGoogle already didn't give a fuck about 911 problems (or 112 in my case) on the Pixel 4a, those have been unfixed since release. Google doesn't seem to care that dead people don't make for good customers.

- curiousgal 4y agoPixel 6 is the last Google phone I bought, after owning every single Pixel up until that point. A company who fucks up this badly is not worth my money.
- fanatic2pope 4y agoI have a Pixel 7, and I am curious how do you test the reliability of calling 911? I assume you don't actually call 911 and say "just testing!"
