Dialing Emergency Numbers
When you call an Emergency Number, such as 911, your
phone locks itself in emergency mode, only allowing you to
make calls to the emergency call center you originally
contacted. This enables emergency operators to more easily
dispatch aid, such as police, fire fighting, and emergency
medical personnel.
