Years ago I had a cheap Blackberry lookalike phone. It had a button lock feature to prevent butt dialing, but some bright spark decided that the lock wouldn’t apply to the ‘9’ and ‘1’ keys, presumably so that a user could dial 9-1-1 even if too panicked to unlock the keypad. Which just meant that it was really easy to butt dial 9-1-1…
Had something similar, except that the code on the phone to dial 911 with the keys locked was #08. Keys were so sensitive I couldn’t keep my phone in my pocket, had to live in my bag or it’d be dialling emergency services.
