Spurious SOS warning

During my last 2 rides the SOS warning has appeared on the dash and disappeared again within a minute or so.  On both occasions I was riding and did not stop to reset the ignition.  I have received no phone calls from BMW emergency services, I have not dropped the bike or used emergency braking on either ride.
Has anyone else had this experience and is anyone able to explain what is going on please?

I think you get a warning when the system loses its cell signal.

Clearly the best place to have an emergency is in a densely populated area with good cell coverage.

Oddly enough I used to get this warning frequently on my GSA, now it’s a very rare occasion (riding along the same routes as before).

Maybe the RT has better reception.

Never seen the warning in a year and a half, mine probably isn't working at all :)
