About emergency calls
Your BlackBerry® device is designed to make emergency calls even when it is locked or the SIM card is
not inserted. If your device radio is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is
designed to connect to the wireless network automatically. If you are outside of a wireless coverage
area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers.
