Holy shit
Haven't tried the game in a while but wasn't it really difficult to unlock the chat after some update? On purpose because child safety, ironically.
Yep, they kind of ruined the experience
Damn, I can no longer hire people to kidnap children so I can then call the police on them and look like a hero.
What am I going to do for fun now?
More recently, Harmel gave the victim a new phone without cellular data. However, the teenager was able to connect to Wi-Fi via the phone and used it to access the online game Among Us. The victim then seemingly used Among Us’ in-game chat function to contact another teenager in a lobby. The two exchanged social media details
Please, teach your kids how to email the cops.
Don't all phones can call 911 even without a sim card?
Yeah, most phones can call 112 or 911 without a SIM card, but apparently some networks still block them which is more than a little fucked up.
All phones can, and all networks in the US and EU at least are legally required to accept emergency calls from any phone, if it's in their network or not, or if it has a simcard or not.
The SIM card only acts to identify you, it is not technically necessary to place any call
I wonder how it decides what network to use when the Sim is out.
Strongest network? Preferred network? Chooses the one that's been the biggest bitch as a fuck you to them?
Seems like the kind of networks regulators should shut down
or at least fine a few million per day
Your profite picture is driving me mad. This is genus.

I was thinking the same thing, how does she have access to Among Us and able to exchange social media contacts but not able to someway contact the police directly?
Yeah, my old phone has no sim but still has 911 capabilities. It even scrolls the message "No SIM card - emergency calls only" across the top of the phone. I think it might be the law here, all phones whether cell enabled or not have 911 access.
