What does Emergency Mode do?
There was a bad car crash right in front of me today and I had to dial 911. It's a stretch of road with no street numbers and I was having some trouble explaining exactly where we were to the 911 operator. I knew the road I was on and the fact I was north of a well known landmark but I wasn't sure how far or even which town I was in at that point. The medics got there within a few minutes, which was good because things were bad and getting worse.
I'm wondering if the GPS saved me here? After things were over, the next time I looked at my phone it said it was in "Emergency Mode" and I had a menu button to exit. I assume that means it's allowing access to the GPS? Or is it something else?

it does allow gps but it locks the phone for emergency use only (for the time being) until you unlock it.

Re: What does Emergency Mode do?
When you dial 911 or hold 9 (I think it's 9 anyway) your phone is put into Emergency mode. Basically this activates your phone for GPS and stops all other communication on your phone until you exit the mode by pressing "Exit". Let's emergency response units find you quicker.

Re: What does Emergency Mode do?
Is the emergency mode a feature on all of the various CDMA & GSM TP2 models?
