PPD: Even with no service, your phone can still call 9-1-1.

πŸ“±πŸš¨ KNOW YOUR DEVICE πŸš¨πŸ“±

Did you know that phones without service can still call 9-1-1? πŸ“ž 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. 😱

To prevent unintentional calls to emergency services, here’s what you can do:

1️⃣ Keep your phone securely stored when you’re not using it.
2️⃣ Lock your phone’s keypad or use a screen lock feature.
3️⃣ Avoid storing your phone in pockets or bags where buttons can get pressed accidentally.
4️⃣ 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. πŸ†˜ Help spread the word and keep our emergency lines open for those who truly need them! 🌟
