My Samsung phone was very trigger happy about emergency calls, in India. Once, the call went through, and it seems the service provider prepared for people like me: it would proceed only if I press a number.

I was outside talking to some friends one time and heard somebody talking in my pocket. It was an emergency operator.

The power button on my iPhone must have been pushed the 5 times or whatever it took. It is probably a good feature when it saves a life but a little too easy to waste their time with too.
