a wireless phone on a cellular network or landline
phone; or text 911 directly, where available; or call

from a wireless phone on a cellular network or
landline phone; or use IP Relay or IP CTS from a
capable device. Visit att.com/numbersync for more
information.
911 Call Routing: 911 calls sent through your tablet
are routed based on automatic location information
obtained from your tablet. If you cannot be located
using automatic location information, 911 calls will
be routed based on the address you provide in the
NumberSync settings of your tablet.
Additional restrictions: Certain features are
incompatible with NumberSync, such as noSIM,
PINlock, Net lock, Airplane mode & no Wi-Fi,
