Emergency service

If you dial 9-1-1 over the Wi-Fi network, emergency services will not be able to determine your location. The response team will be dispatched to the address registered in your device, so it's important to ensure that this address is up to date.

It is preferable to make emergency calls using traditional cellular or telephone services, and to use Wi-Fi Calling only as a last resort.
