Sprint Nextel NNTN9124A manual 34 3. Making and Answering Calls

Important: Always report your location to the 911 operator when placing an emergency call. Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.

If you have not registered on the network, emergency calls cannot be placed while your SIM card is in your phone.

If you are bringing your phone number to Sprint from your previous carrier, you may receive a temporary telephone number while your Nextel phone is being programmed with your permanent phone number. If you make a call to 911 and the call fails, the 911 emergency response center will not be able to call you back on your Nextel phone if in the meantime, your Nextel phone has been programmed with your permanent telephone number. If the call is disconnected before location and details have been provided, call 911 again and advise that you were disconnected.

Note: Sprint programs one or more emergency phone numbers that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Emergency numbers vary by country. Your pre-programmed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Note: Your phone can use location based services (GPS and AGPS) to help emergency services find you. See “Location Services (GPS & AGPS)” on page 148.
