Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 and press ` to be connected to an emergency response center. If you are on an active call, you must end it before calling 911.

When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature of your phone begins to calculate your approximate location. Even where your phone has good access to sufficient GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it may take 30 seconds or more to determine the approximate location. This time will increase where there is reduced access to satellite signals. When your approximate location is determined, it is made available to the appropriate emergency response center.

In some cases, your local 911 emergency response center may not be equipped to receive GPS location

information. For this reason, and because the GPS location information reported is only approximate or may not be available in your location, always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to when making an emergency call, if able, just as you would when using a phone without GPS capabilities.

Note: If you are concerned about whether your local 911 emergency response center is equipped to receive GPS location information, contact your local authorities.
