Making Emergency Calls While in Direct Talk Mode

If you attempt to make an emergency 911 call while in Direct Talk mode, your phone automatically exits Direct Talk mode and attempts to find a network signal.

If you are out of network coverage, your phone cannot make an emergency 911 call until you return to the network coverage area. You must wait until the phone reconnects to the network before attempting to make an emergency 911 call.
