Location Based Services

Our network generally knows the location of your Device when it is outdoors and turned on. By using various technologies to locate your Device, we can provide enhanced emergency 911 services, and optional location-sensitive services provided by us or a third party. Environmental factors (such as structures, buildings, weather, geography, landscape, and topography) can significantly impact the ability to access your Device’s location information and use of location-sensitive services. The terms and conditions of any location-sensitive service that you purchase from us may provide more information about how location information is used and disclosed. Use of some of location-sensitive services may require network coverage. If any Device on your account uses a location-sensitive service, you (the accountholder) must clearly and regularly notify the actual user of your Device that their location may be tracked or discovered. For additional information on location-sensitive services, see our Privacy Policy at our Web site.

911 Or Other Emergency Calls

Public Safety Officials advise that when making 911 or other emergency calls, you

should always be prepared to provide your location information. Unlike traditional wireline phones, depending on a number of factors (e.g., whether your Device is GPS enabled, where you are, whether local emergency service providers have upgraded their equipment, etc.), 911 operators may not know your phone number, your location or the location of your Device. In certain circumstances, an emergency call may be routed to a state patrol dispatcher or alternative location set by local emergency service providers. Enhanced 911 service (“E911”), where enabled by local emergency authorities, uses GPS technology to provide location information. Even when available, however, E911 does not always provide accurate location information. If your Device is indoors or for some other reason cannot acquire a satellite signal, you may not be located. Some Devices have a safety feature that prevents use of the keypad after dialing 911 – you should follow voice prompts when interacting with emergency service providers employing IVR systems to screen calls.
