About emergency calls
If you are outside a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers. Your
BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device model and the wireless
network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the
connection to the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network
automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 999).
Note: You should not rely on any wireless device for essential communications, including medical emergencies. Emergency numbers may vary
by location and emergency calls may be blocked or impeded by network, environmental or interference issues.
About Emergency Callback Mode
If your BlackBerry® device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback Mode.
This mode enables the operator to call you back or determine your approximate location. Depending on your wireless service provider, Emergency
Callback Mode is active for five minutes or is cancelled when you make a non-emergency call.
In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse web pages.
Your device exits Emergency Callback Mode at any time if you make a non-emergency call.
