At about 12:10 a.m Captain Smith told Jack Phillips, titanic's wireless operator, to send out distress signals. The Olympic, the Frankfurt, and the Carpathia responded. Carpathia was the closest and Carpathia told Captain Smith it was 58 miles (93 km) away.
Carpathia was approximately 58 miles (93 kilometers) away from the Titanic
The first distress signal was sent out from Titanic at 12:27 AM ship's time.
Carpathia
Carpathia took about four hours to reach the disaster site. She also took about four hours to rescue the passengers (from about four in the morning to 8:10 when the final rescuee, Second-Officer Lightoller, boarded).
Yes, Titanic called for help. The first distress signal was sent out after midnight at 12:27.
RMS CarpathiaCarpathia rescued the 712 survivors of Titanic.

Most of those rescued were rescued by the smaller liner Carpathia, which responded first to the distress call.

RMS CarpathiaCarpathia rescued the 712 survivors of Titanic.
Carpathia But other ships did get the message and ignored it
Only one ship picked up ANY survivors of Titanic, the Carpathia The Baltic, however, found the lifeboat with three dead bodies that had been cast off, about a month later.
The ship that arrived to pick up survivors from the Titanic was the RMS Carpathia, operated by the rival Cunard line from 1903 to 1918. (Carpathia itself was sunk by a German U-boat in World War I.)Although many ships answered the Titanic's distress calls, the Carpathia was the ship who picked up the passengers that night. It then took the survivors to New York, and gave White Star Line the owners of the Titanic, back it's lifeboats.The boat that rescued the Titanic survivors was the RMS Carpathia, a small single-funnelled Cunard liner taking a group of mostly elderly American tourists on a cruise of the Mediterranean. She was commanded by Capt. Arthur H.Rostron- picking up the Titanic's SOS messages, she steamed full-speed through the night, arriving at the scene of the disaster just after dawn, rescuing all survivors and salvaging most of the lifeboats before heading for New York.Carpathia was herself sunk in the last months of WW1, topedoe'd by a German submarine whilst part of a coal convoy to Boston in 1918. Fortunately though, all on board were rescued- she currently lies in only about 400ft of water of the West coast of Ireland, and is accessible to scuba divers.The Carpathia under the command of Capt. Arthur Rostron was the first ship to rescue survivors of the Titanic sinking.
First class women @children. Elizabeth Walton Allen was the first Titanic survivor to board the Carpathia after this ship responded to the Titanic's SOS call.
The first of Titanic's survivors to board Carpathia was Elisabeth Allen.
It is not known because some ships could have heard the distress call but not responded to it but some of the ships that did were the Mount temple, Frankfurt, Carpathia, Prinz Adalbert and the Titanic's sister ship Olympic. One land based wireless station on cape race, Newfoundlands also herd their distress call.
