Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
Your BlackBerry device features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip
necessary for utilizing E911 emergency location services where available.
When you place an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature of your BlackBerry device begins
to seek information to calculate your approximate location. Depending on several variables,
including availability and access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to
determine and report your approximate location.
Voicemail
New Voicemail Message Alerts
When you receive a new voice message, your BlackBerry device alerts you and prompts
you to call your voicemail.
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 BlackBerry device.
Note
The GPS feature on your BlackBerry device can help emergency personnel
determine your location in instances where you are in a wireless coverage area, your
device is able to communicate with a GPS-enabled satellite, and your emergency
response center is equipped to process such information.
Note
For information about setting up voicemail on your BlackBerry device, see “Set Up
Your Sprint Voicemail” on page 10 for details.
