case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is
a free call on your wireless
phone!

help others in emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see
an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious
emergency where lives are
in danger, call 911 or other
local emergency number, as
you would want others to do

or a special wireless

number when necessary.

may require attention, but
are not urgent enough to
merit a call for emergency
services. But you can still
use your wireless phone

a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where
no one appears injured
or a vehicle. you know to
be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless
number.
