Note: Emergency calls on your iPhone are routed through cellular service when available. In
the event that cellular service is not available, and you have enabled Wi-Fi Calling,
emergency calls may be made over Wi-Fi, and your device’s location information may be
used for emergency calls to aid response efforts, regardless of whether you enable Location
Services. Some carriers may use the address you registered with the carrier when signing
up for Wi-Fi Calling as your location.
