minus-square[email protected]@lemmy.federate.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoYes, it is free. But the only thing you can use it for is contacting emergency services.

minus-squareNogami@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down6·2 years 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.

minus-squareNogami@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·2 years agoI would think it would be nominal. Stories like this are marketing gold and all it would take is one “Apple charges $$$ per year and we decided not to pay it so all of my kids died” story to ruin all of those warm fuzzies.
