Did you know that phones without service can still call 9-1-1? π Emergency situations can happen when we least expect them, and having a phone to call for help is crucial. But sometimes, our phones can accidentally dial 9-1-1 when we don’t mean to. π±
To prevent unintentional calls to emergency services, here’s what you can do:
1οΈβ£ Keep your phone securely stored when you’re not using it.
2οΈβ£ Lock your phone’s keypad or use a screen lock feature.
3οΈβ£ Avoid storing your phone in pockets or bags where buttons can get pressed accidentally.
4οΈβ£ If you have a child or someone who might accidentally call 9-1-1, enable child lock or restrict access to the emergency dial feature.
Remember, 9-1-1 should only be used in a real emergency when immediate assistance is needed. π Help spread the word and keep our emergency lines open for those who truly need them! π
