Emergency Calling during a Service Interruption


There are three alternative options for placing an emergency call.

1. Call from your mobile phone by dialing 911 directly and stay on the line until they send emergency personnel such as a police officer or an emergency medical responder to you. Be sure to call from the location of the emergency.

2. Call from your landline telephone by dialing 911 directly and stay on the line until they send a police officer or an emergency medical responder to you. Be sure to call from the location of the emergency.

3. Use a TTY to call 911. Even though TTY is an old device and rarely available, it remains a very reliable method for calling for an emergency assistance.


Text to 911


You may reach out for an emergency service by sending a text message to 911. However, text-to-911 is currently available in certain locations. You need to check with your wireless phone company to see whether text-to-911 is available in your area.

Calling During a Service Interruption


If a service interruption prevents you from placing a VRS call, we recommend using a TTY to place your calls or other communication methods until the service is restored.

Try restart your device if it seems that your device or Purple video app is not working.

If the issue persists, please contact our Customer Care for assistance at: 1-877-885-3172.
