But does it deliver on that promise?

Product Review Video: I Tried Google's Satellite SOS for the Pixel 9
If you're a Pixel 9 owner, your phone comes equipped with the ability to connect to a satellite when you need help. Satellite SOS gets triggered by attempting a 911 call. If you don't have a cell signal or aren't connected to Wi-Fi, the new service can help you contact emergency responders. Google talked with CNET more about how the Satellite SOS works and even let us try a demo out at its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
