Emergency calls
Make an emergency call when iPhone is locked. On the Enter Passcode screen, tap Emergency
Call (to dial 911 in the U.S., for example).
Important: You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that
cellular service is available, but you should not rely on it for emergencies. Some cellular networks
may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not activated, if iPhone is not
compatible with or congured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if
iPhone does not have a SIM card or if the SIM card is PIN-locked.
In the U.S., location information (if available) is provided to emergency service providers when
you dial 911.
With CDMA, when an emergency call ends, iPhone enters emergency call mode for a few minutes
to allow a call back from emergency services. During this time, data transmission and text
messages are blocked.
Exit emergency call mode (CDMA). Do one of the following:
•
Tap the Back button.
•
Press the Sleep/Wake button or the Home button.
•
Use the keypad to dial a non-emergency number.
Visual voicemail
Visual voicemail lets you see a list of your messages and choose which one to listen to or delete,
without having to wade through all of them. A badge on the Voicemail icon tells you how many
unheard messages you have. The rst time you tap Voicemail, you’re prompted to create a
voicemail password and record your voicemail greeting.
Listen to a voicemail message. Tap Voicemail, then tap a message. To listen again, select the
message and tap . If visual voicemail isn’t available with your service, tap Voicemail and follow
the voice prompts.
