Stay on the line for as long as the 9-1-1 operator requires. Calls to 9-1-1 are
free so take all the time that you need. Leave your handset turned on after
hanging up in case the 9-1-1 operator needs to call you back. Please do
not program 9-1-1 into your speed dial. This can lead to accidental calls that
take up valuable emergency resources.
Calls to 9-1-1 from your wireless phone are subject to the same limitations
as regular wireless calls. For example, if you are underground or too far from
a wireless network antenna, the quality of your call may be affected, or you
may not be able to connect to the network.
Phase One of Enhanced 9-1-1
Phase One of Enhanced 9-1-1 or E9-1-1 is designed to help 9-1-1 operators
react more quickly and accurately in emergency situations. E9-1-1 provides
emergency operators with the phone number of the caller and the location
of the wireless network antenna receiving the call but not the caller’s exact
location. The caller must still provide this information. The caller’s phone
number allows the emergency operator to re-establish contact with the
caller if the connection is lost. The wireless network antenna location helps
emergency operators identify the most appropriate emergency services to
dispatch.
Phase Two of Enhanced 9-1-1
Phase Two of Enhanced 9-1-1 is designed to provide more accurate
location information than Phase One. E9-1-1 emergency operators that have
the necessary systems deployed will not only receive the caller’s phone
number, but will also receive geographic coordinates associated with the
caller’s approximate location.
A caller’s location will be automatically determined using special technology
enabled in the Rogers network and in certain handsets and will help ensure
that callers get the proper help as quickly as possible.
Any customer registered on the Rogers wireless network in an area served
by E9-1-1 that has the necessary systems deployed will have access to
Phase One and Two. This includes Rogers wireless customers in their local
area and Rogers wireless customers visiting an area in Canada served
by E9-1-1. For more information about E9-1-1 and to verify if Phase Two is
deployed in your area, please visit rogers.com/911.
