Make an emergency call from a locked screen
You can make an emergency call on your phone as long as it's registered to the Wi-Fi network.
If a lock option requires a swipe, pattern, PIN, or password you may be able to make an emergency call without
unlocking the phone. However, the administrator can disable emergency calling from the lock screen. Check
with your administrator if you have any questions about how your organization deploys emergency calling.
Contact your administrator for more information about the numbers to call in an emergency situation, and
how to access them with your phone.
