Family Emergency? | is your phone in Sleep Mode?

Family Emergency? | is your phone in Sleep Mode? So today my son was in a 70mph car accident, he lost control of his car and careered into the central reservation before then hitting the barrier on the left side of the carriage way. Don't worry nobody was injured and no other cars were involved. Although his car will not be road worthy for some time if ever. As a parent I feel particularly bad for him and the fact this happened to him but I'm grateful he walked away uninjured. But the main reason I feel so bad is knowing that immediately after the accident he spent 15 minutes on his own trapped in his car trying to phone his family. It was 8 am in the morning, my  Samsung S6 Edge was still on "Sleep Mode" so ringing me literally fell on deaf ears.  The worst thing is that I know better. There is no reason to have my phone unable to receive emergency calls whilst it is on sleep mode.  Its just laziness I guess for not setting my phone up properly...
