Most phones purchased in Europe are already unlocked. In other parts of the world, some phone providers lock their phones so they can only be used on their own networks, and not on those of competing carriers.

Public Safety / 9-1-1

SmartSIM USA is committed to a partnership with Public Safety to provide the best possible 9-1-1 service for our subscribers in times of emergency.

What is Basic 9-1-1 service?

Basic 9-1-1 service is an emergency telephone system which automatically connects wireless 9-1-1 calls to a designated 9-1-1 Communications Center. Basic 9-1-1 may or may not provide the wireless phone’s 10-digit call-back number and estimated location. The handset must have battery power and be in a coverage area to complete a 9-1-1 call.

What is Text to 9-1-1 service?

Placing a voice call to 9-1-1 is your best option during an emergency. At this time, some 9-1-1 Centers are able to receive and/or respond to text messages sent to 9-1-1 via amobile handset. If a customer attempts to send a text to 9-1-1 in an area where the service is not available, an auto-reply message will be sent to the handset stating:

“Please make a voice call to 911. There is no text service to 911 available at this time in this area. This is a free message.”

Please note, making a voice call to 9-1-1 is still the most efficient way to contact emergency services.

Remember…when calling 9-1-1 during an emergency:

Stay calm and speak clearly.

Do not hang up until the 9-1-1 call taker has obtained all of the information that is needed.

Since you are calling from a wireless phone, your call may be disconnected if the signal is lost. Be sure to call 9-1-1 back if you are cut off. If you are driving, consider pulling off the road and stopping the vehicle to complete the 9-1-1 call.

Your 9-1-1 call may need to be transferred to another agency.

Absolutely! With our unlimited mobile data service and strong coverage along most major highways, you’ll have fast accurate access navigation service available anytime you need them.
