Emergency calls
About emergency calls
Your BlackBerry® device is designed to make emergency calls even when it is locked. If your device radio is turned off when you initiate
an emergency call, your device is designed to turn on the radio and connect to the wireless network automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 in North America).
About Emergency Callback Mode
When you end an emergency call, the BlackBerry® device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode enables the operator to call you
back or determine your approximate location. Depending on your service provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for five minutes or
is canceled 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.
About assisted GPS support
Your BlackBerry® device is designed to support assisted GPS. If you make an emergency call or your device is in Emergency Callback
Mode, an emergency operator might be able to use assisted GPS technology to estimate your location.
Note: In an emergency, always provide the emergency operator with as much information as possible. Emergency operators might not
be able to estimate your location using only assisted GPS technology.
