network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your smartphone is designed to connect to the wireless network
automatically. You can make emergency calls by typing only official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
Note: You should not rely on any wireless smartphone 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.
If your smartphone is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your smartphone enters

your wireless service provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for 5 minutes or until you make a non-emergency call. In
Emergency Callback Mode, you can't send and receive messages or browse webpages.
If your smartphone supports GPS and you make an emergency call, an emergency operator might be able to use GPS
technology to find your approximate location.
