Correct me if I'm wrong, but..


Jesse's phone rang, but Matt couldn't answer it because it was locked. But I thought it was mandatory that all phones were able to make emergency calls, even if they were locked. I know all the phones I've owned were able to. And it's 2015 (at the time).

Yeah I've never seen a phone do that for an incoming call and I have a password on my phone. He should have been able to just answer the phone period. But yes many phones do also have an emergency call feature as well that does not require password access.

I think that fact alone would have made the film pretty moot in that aspect. But I get it needs to have a dilemma and such.

reply

I can set my phone to require a password even just to answer it.

But yea you can still dial 911.


Boredom is bullsh#t.

Very poor and convenient story crafting. Basically laziness.
