A mobile communication device for connecting to a communication network, the device being arranged to make an outgoing call over a network only in response to the detection by the device of an extended user interaction with the device. In this way, the device may be arranged to make the outgoing call when it receives a prolonged interaction or a series of quick interactions. This may help avoid the outgoing call being made inadvertently. This may help minimise false alerts. Aspects of the invention include: the interaction comprises a single interaction for a length of time greater than a predetermined threshold time; the device is an emergency calling device; the device being constrained to call a single number; the device being arranged to provide feedback to a user in response to an interaction being detected; the device being arranged to change the feedback through at least a portion of the interaction; the device being arranged to automatically retry making the outgoing call until an outgoing connection can be made; the device being arranged to automatically answer the incoming call after a predetermined time period has elapsed after receiving the incoming call; the device being a watch. |
