Receive Phone Calls; Answer An Incoming Call; Mute The Ringing Sound; Reject An Incoming Call - Samsung GALAXY S4 User Manual

When you place a call to 9-1-1, the GPS feature of your phone provides information about your
approximate location. Depending on several variables, including availability and access to satellite
signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your approximate location.
Important: Always report your location to the 9-1-1 operator when placing an emergency call. Some
designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), may not be
equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.

Receive Phone Calls

When you receive a phone call from a contact, the Incoming call screen appears and displays the caller
ID icon, name, and phone number of the calling party. When you receive a phone call from someone who

screen.
Note: If your phone is turned off, all calls automatically go to voicemail.
