The GPS feature allows the phone to share position information over the network. For calls to
emergency numbers, this position information may be used by the emergency operator to
determine the position of the phone. The functionality of this feature is dependent on the
network, satellite systems and the agency receiving the information. It may not function in all
areas or at all times. The user can enable or disable the GPS feature for non-emergency calls
by accessing the Location privacy feature in the phone.
