I guess if a serious audit is done then it could be a nice solution. I would love to read more technical details about it, especially how it can be sure the messages are transmitted to the good person.

Maybe the first temporally, but Israel has been killing anyone who looks like they're trying to put a phone within reach of a cell tower. The genocide survivors have last I heard learned that they needed to raise their phones in buckets attached to ropes, so that when they're identified and destroyed, they won't be killed.

most of the gazan population has a cellphone, which has had reception most of the war. So assuming using one puts you in risk is false.

About your second story, that sounds implausible, anything more substantial?
