Safety features explained
Crash Detection
The iPhone 14 can detect a severe car crash and automatically call emergency services if you don't respond.
Emergency SOS via satellite
When there's no cellular or Wi-Fi signal, you can text emergency services through satellites in supported areas.
These features are built into the phone by Apple and work independently of your plan. Availability depends on location and Apple's terms.
eSIM-only activation
U.S. iPhone 14 models don't have a SIM tray. We activate your Combo Wireless line with an eSIM. Keep your phone connected to Wi-Fi during setup and follow the steps we send. Our support page covers common questions, and our number transfer guide explains how to keep your existing number.
