EMERGENCY DIALING
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1
emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit
its location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call.*
*Availability of this feature depends on upgrades
to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling
system that are required to be installed by the
local 9-1-1 response agency or public safety
answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not
be available everywhere within our wireless
coverage area or your roaming area. This
approximation of the phones location and
the transmittal of location information are
subject to emergency situations, transmission
limits, network problems/limitations,
interconnecting carrier problems, your
phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and
atmospheric/topographical conditions, and
may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or
refused. The phones approximate location
is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response
agency or PSAP while the call is in progress;
this approximation is intended solely to
aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency
assistance or to limit the search area for
emergency services personnel. You should
not rely solely on a phone for essential
communications (such as a medical or
other emergency). Please see T-Mobiles
Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for
additional service restrictions and details.
