** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': While Diana is the master of covert Mental Radio calls for aid since her mild telepathy allows her to make such calls without a physical mental radio on hand ComicBook/SteveTrevor and Etta Candy are able to do so with the bulky things on at least three separate occasions, which is helped by the fact that they don't need to make any noise to make the calls and the devices are almost entirely unknown outside of Paradise Island so the villains have no clue what they are.

* Recent Android and iOS add an emergency feature triggered by pressing the power button five times in a row. The idea is that even if the screen is cracked or you can't see the screen because the perpetrator is watching you, you can still get help. To avoid inadvertent calls, there is an option to enable an audible countdown which negates this trope.

* In an odd twist, ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has a moment where a character sends such a message ''completely by accident.'' Simmons, who is being held hostage by Washington and the Meta, receives a call from Sarge, but being held at gunpoint, Simmons just tries to act like everything is fine. Despite this, after the call is finished, Sarge uses some InsaneTrollLogic to identify all of the "hidden messages" Simmons left for him in his call, which by astounding coincidence happened to coincide exactly with what was really going on [[AchievementInIgnorance down to the smallest detail.]]
