I don’t know how you can say that Apple ID useless when you can walk into any Apple Store and a live person will either resolve the issue, or replace the phone

Ultras all have cellular, but you are not obliged to use it. I was going to ignore it until I learned that TM has a $5/mo option. I figured that for five bucks it’s worth the extra security
From their perspective, it could have been my wife trying to call because I was beating her with a baseball bat
A few months ago, I was changing watch bands on my Ultra. The band was sticking and I gave it a wrench and it decided to let go easily. My watch flew across the room, hit the wall and went behind the sofa.
By the time I could retrieve it, it was dialing 911 because I didn’t respond to the ‘Did you fall’ prompt quickly enough. I tried to kill the call but I knew it wasn’t going to work, so I dialed 911 again and told the operator that I may just have called in error. He laughed when I told him what happened, but told me he was required to send a car anyway. I got him to agree with no sirens and lights. (It was almost midnight).
I met the car in my driveway, and finally convinced the cop it was an accident. I know he wanted to search my house, hoping to find a crime.
I am more careful now, but it’s still good to know that I fell down a flight of stairs, that someone would come
It only works sporadically, and when it does it doesn’t seem to do much useful
