Overview
E911, or enhanced 911, automatically displays the user's phone number and physical location. This feature enables emergency services to locate the user for emergency assistance. Calls in Data mode won't be allowed until the user registers their 911 information.
This feature works in Data Mode or WiFi but is only for residents living in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands.

A pop-up page for E911 will appear any time the user attempts to change the calling method. The user will need to complete the above steps again before they'll be able to complete the call.
