Hello, allow me to improve on this, unavailing answer. Unfortunately, no, John George Phillips did not survive the sinking. BUT there was a good reason. He heroically stayed to his post sending S.O.S and C.Q.D. messages until a few minutes before the ship went down. Hoped this helped!

P.S. He has the biggest Titanic Memorial for a single person in the world! (Godalming)

Did the Titanic send out an SOS or a cqd?
The Titanic sent out both CQD and SOS distress calls."In 1912, RMS Titanic radio operator Jack Phillips initially sent "CQD", which was (then) still commonly used by British ships".Ref: Titanic as Told by Its Survivors (Jack Winocour:1960:Courier Corporation)"Harold Bride, the junior radio operator, jokingly suggested using the new code, "SOS". Thinking it might be the only time he would get to use it, Phillips began to alternate between the two." Ref: Campbell (2008: 1911)The text of one of the distress calls received as sent by jack Phillips the radio officer for the Titanic read: "SOS SOS CQD CQD - MSY (Titanic's radio identification code) WE ARE SINKING FAST PASSENGERS BEING PUT INTO BOATS MSY"Contrary to popular belief, CQD does not mean "Come Quickly danger" and it was never internationally recognised as a distress call. It was only ever officially used by Marconi Radio operators. CQ is a two letter telegraph code which equates to 'All stations' D was added to indicate a vessel in distress.The Californian was the nearest ship but the officer had turned the wireless operator off and gone to bed. The Californian was only 4-5 miles away from the ship.The Carpathian was 58 miles away when it RECEIVED THE CALL. Just about 2 hours away.The titanic sank at 2:20am- just under two hours after Carpathia received the message. So Carpathia would have been steaming at full for 1 hour and 20 minutes before the Titanic sankSo when the Titanic Sank it would have been about 30 miles away.

When was the last communication with the Titanic?
look at the radio the titanic had.The wireless equipment was built by the Marconi Company, the dominant provider of radio equipment and radio operators at the time. Powered by a 5 kilowatt motor generator, and backed up by an emergency generator and batteries, the ship's radio had a guaranteed range of 250 miles under any weather conditions, and could usually maintain communications over 400 miles. Some 58 miles from the Titanic, Harold Cottam, the radio operator of a much smaller ship, the Carpathia, had heard the Titanic's distress calls at about 12:25 AM.

What was the last message given from the Titanic before sinking?
S O SJohn G. Phillips, was the Chief Marconi operator who sent the final distress message from the ill-fated Titanic. The message was transmitted with a spark transmitter and it included the new "SOS" signal, as well as the more conventional "CQD" signal. The actual message was "CQD CQD SOS SOS CQD DE MGY MGY", MGY being the call sign of the Titanic. The worst aspect of the disaster was the fact the California was sitting only ten miles away and capable of rescuing all the passengers. Besides the futile radio messages the crew of the Titanic fired rockets for two hours trying to get her attention, but the officers on duty aboard the California never understood the reason for the rockets. Only when the radio operator went back on duty did the California learn the news from other rescue ships about the Titanic. Another ship, the Carpathia, was 58 miles away when she received the Titanic SOS.
