Emergency Calls
Your phone supports emergency calling. Emergency 
phone calls can be made even when your SIM card is 
blocked or not in your phone.
Enter 911 and press 
Talk
`
 to be connected 
to an emergency response center. If you are on an 
active call, you must end it before calling 911. If 
your phone is password locked (see “Security 
Lock” on page 75
), select the 
Emergency call
 
button at the bottom of the screen.
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 and AGPS” on page 123. 
Because of the limitations of this feature, always 
provide your best knowledge of your location to the 
emergency response center when you make an 
emergency call.
Important:
Always report your location to the 911 operator 
when placing an emergency call.
 Some 
designated emergency call takers, known as 
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not 
be equipped to receive GPS location information 
from your phone.
If you have not registered on the network, 
emergency calls cannot be placed while your 
SIM card is in your phone. 
If you are bringing your phone number to Sprint 
from your previous carrier, you may receive a 
temporary telephone number while your Nextel 
phone is being programmed with your 
permanent phone number. If you make a call to 
911 and the call fails, the 911 emergency 
response center will not be able to call you back 
on your Nextel phone if in the meantime, your 
Nextel phone has been programmed with your 
permanent telephone number. If the call is 
disconnected before location and details have 
been provided, call 911 again and advise that you 
were disconnected.
