Make emergency calls
You should be able to make emergency calls even if
your BlackBerry® device is locked or the SIM card is
not inserted. If your device is not connected to the
wireless network, it should connect automatically
when the emergency call is initiated. If you are outside
of a wireless network coverage area and the SOS
coverage indicator appears, you can only call
emergency numbers.
To make an emergency call, perform one of the
following actions:
•
Unlocked keyboard or device: In the phone, type
the emergency number. Press the Send key.
•
Locked keyboard or device: Click the trackwheel.
Click Emergency Call. Click Yes.
Note:
Emergency calls can only be made to official
emergency access numbers, for example 911 in North
America, or 112 in the European Union and other
countries.
Make calls using speed dial
In the phone, hold the key that is assigned to the
contact or phone number.
Note:
You can also use speed dial to make a phone call on
the Home screen or in a messages list.
