Appalachian Wireless has your safety in mind, particularly when you place a call for 911 emergency services using your mobile phone. Appalachian Wireless is working with Public Safety Answering Points ("PSAPs") to enable rescue personnel to find you even if you cannot convey your location when you call. Appalachian Wireless and your local PSAPs are actively upgrading systems so that the PSAPs are capable of receiving critical location data that Appalachian Wireless will deliver to them. The work should be finished in March 2006. One exception is that emergency location services will become available in Dickenson County, Virginia, in about June 2006.
ONLY PHONES UTILIZING APPALACHIAN WIRELESS' CDMA NETWORK WILL BE CAPABLE OF TRANSMITTING LOCATION DATA TO PSAPs. These include all phones purchased from Appalachian Wireless since April 15, 2004. TDMA AND ANALOG PHONES DO NOT HAVE LOCATION CAPABILITY.
If you upgrade your TDMA or analog handset, your location information will be automatically transmitted to emergency officials when you dial 911. Please take advantage of Appalachian Wireless' special offers on upgraded handsets. You and your family will be glad you did.
