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.
