Making Emergency Phone Calls
When you make an emergency call, your phone’s
GPS Enabled feature can help emergency service
personnel find you, if you are in a location where
your phone's GPS antenna has established a clear
view of the open sky and your local emergency
response center has the equipment to process
location information. See “GPS (Global Positioning
System) Enabled” on page 104, and particularly
“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page
104 and “Making an Emergency Call” on page 105,
for more information on the limitations of this
feature. Because of the limitations of this feature,
always provide your best knowledge of your
location to the emergency response center when
you make a emergency call.
Important: Emergency calls cannot be placed while
the keypad is locked.
Important: If you have not registered on the
network, emergency calls cannot be
placed while your SIM is in your phone.
Important: If you are bringing your phone number
to Boost
TM
from your previous carrier,
the 911 emergency response center will
not be able to make a callback to your
temporary Boost
TM
phone number after
the phone number you requested has
been activated on your Boost
TM
phone.
