allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device model
and the wireless network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to
allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the connection to the wireless
network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect
to the wireless network automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for
example, 911 or 112).
You should not rely on any wireless device for essential communications, including medical
emergencies. Emergency numbers may vary by location and emergency calls may be
blocked or impeded by network, environmental, or interference issues.
