minus-square[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoYes, it is free. But the only thing you can use it for is contacting emergency services.

minus-square@Nogamilink-1•1 year agoTLDR. There’s no pricing after 2 years yet. Probably get 2 years with every phone purchase. I’d have no problem subscribing to it regardless. I have a family and little kids. I’d never even consider not paying for a service like that if it could save our lives.
