access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your
approximate location.

Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), may
not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.

Data Services General Information (LTE and
3G Networks)
The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing
your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your phone
