What happens if I dial 911 while roaming in the United States?
It is understood that Verizon Wireless coverage is not guaranteed and that not all calls will be completed, especially in areas where either: 1) Verizon Wireless has no license to provide service; 2) Verizon Wireless does not provide coverage; 3) Verizon Wireless does not have a roaming agreement with another carrier. In these extremely limited circumstances, if a Verizon Wireless user successfully places a call to 9-1-1, due to emergency features within the wireless device, the call may be transacted without Verizon Wireless’s knowledge or involvement. If a call to 911 can be placed via the network of a carrier with which Verizon Wireless does not have a roaming agreement, it is not technically feasible to provide the callback capability from the public safety entity (PSAP) back to the originating wireless device. Verizon Wireless is taking proactive steps to minimize this occurrence by seeking roaming agreements broadly with many carriers, but cannot expect to arrange such agreements with all carriers.
