*Apparently* emergency services have a way to over ride your code, but I dunno how true that is. Interesting question and I've wondered the same thing. Only recently I put a code on mine to stop my kids prank people and playing games!

DH is a paramedic in nsw, and he doesn't have any clue how to access people's phones unless it's the way I described and they have ICE contacts setup. I can't speak for police or firies or other states though.

Yes I thought it was to good to be true, hence why I said *apparently*, my guess it was just one of those viral rumours that spread like wildfire on Facebook
It would be handy if the iPhone had something similar to the Samsung!

No, they don't have magic ways of hacking phones. They are just regular people! Imagine if all the emergency services personnel knew how to break into every phone or tablet out there. There'd be an outcry.
How come more people don't know about that emergency call thing on the samsung? I didn't know. That's cool.

This is one of the reasons there is no pin on my phone, and never will be.
My kids *need* access to my phone. DD1 knows how to call people - she knows 000 and she knows that she can press anyone on the favourites (a big yellow star on the iPhone phone menu) and get help there. As a single parent, I need to know that if I don't wake up one morning, the girls will be able to call someone.
