Making Emergency Phone Calls
When you make an emergency call, your phone’s
GPS Enabled feature can help emergency service
personnel find you, if you are in a location where
your phone's GPS antenna has established a clear
view of the open sky and your local emergency
response center has the equipment to process
location information. See “GPS Enabled” on page
127, and particularly “IMPORTANT: Things to
Keep in Mind” on page 127 and “Making an
Emergency Call” on page 129, for more
information on the limitations of this feature.
Because of the limitations of this feature, always
provide your best knowledge of your location to the
emergency response center when you make an
emergency call.
Important: Emergency calls cannot be placed while
the keypad is locked.
Important: If you have not registered on the
network, emergency calls cannot be
placed while your SIM card is in your
phone.
Important: If you are bringing your phone number
to Nextel 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.
