Warning: 911 Emergency Calling

Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible.

This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
