Phone Calls
30
When you place an emergency 9-1-1 call, the GPS feature of your phone seeks information to
calculate your approximate location. Depending on several variables, including availability and
access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your
approximate location.
Important:
Always report your location to the 9-1-1 operator when placing an emergency call. Some
designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), may not be equipped
to receive GPS location information from your phone.
Receive Phone Calls
The following information lets you know how to answer incoming calls, mute the ringer on incoming
calls, reject incoming calls, and more.
When you receive a phone call from a contact, the Incoming call screen appears and displays the
caller ID icon, name, and phone number of the calling party. When you receive a phone call from
someone who is not stored in Contacts, only the default caller ID icon and phone number appear on
the Incoming call screen.
Note:
If your phone is turned off, all calls automatically go to voicemail.
