Emergency calls

About emergency calls
If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers. Your BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device model and the wireless network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the connection to the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
Note: You should not rely on any wireless device for essential communications, including medical emergencies. Emergency numbers may vary by location and emergency calls may be blocked or impeded by network, environmental, or interference issues.
About Emergency Callback Mode
If your BlackBerry® device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode enables the operator to call you back or determine your approximate location. Depending on your wireless service provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for five minutes or is canceled when you make a non-emergency call.
In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse web pages.
Your device exits Emergency Callback Mode at any time if you make a non-emergency call.
Make an emergency call
Perform one of the following actions:
• If your keyboard or BlackBerry® device is unlocked, from the Home screen, press the Send key. Type the emergency number. Press the Send key.

About GPS technology
Depending on your wireless service provider, this feature might not be supported.
You can use GPS technology on your BlackBerry® device to get your GPS location and to use location-based applications and location-based services. Location-based applications can use your GPS location to provide you with information such as driving directions.
If your device does not have an internal GPS receiver or your wireless service provider does not support location-based services and you want to use GPS technology, you can pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

Conference calls

About conference calls
You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® device. If your organization or a conferencing service has provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your device or computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry device to enter the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their device, so that they do not have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you do not have a conference call bridge number, you can create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

Smart dialing

About smart dialing
With the smart-dialing feature, you can set a default country code and area code for phone numbers so that you do not have to dial a country code and area code each time that you make a call, unless the country code or area code are different from the default codes that you set. Some country codes are not supported by the smart-dialing feature.
In the smart-dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that you can quickly call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that organization to your contact list, when you add their phone numbers, you can type only the extensions instead of typing out the main phone number for the organization.

Multiple phone numbers

About multiple phone numbers
When you have multiple phone numbers associated with your BlackBerry® device, you can switch the phone number that you use as your active phone number. You have multiple phone numbers associated with your device if one of the following situations applies:

If your SIM card supports more than one phone number, you can make calls using your active phone number only, but you receive calls to all phone numbers. If you are already on a call, you receive calls to your active phone number only, and any calls that you receive to your other phone numbers receive a busy signal or are sent to voice mail.
If your wireless service provider has set up your device to support more than one phone number, you can make calls and receive calls using your active phone number only. Any calls that you receive to your other phone numbers receive a busy signal or are sent to voice mail.

If your wireless service plan supports SMS text messaging and MMS messaging, the first phone number that appears in the drop-down list at the top of the screen in the phone application is the phone number that you use to send and receive SMS text messages and MMS messages.

S/MIME-protected messages

S/MIME-protected message basics
About signing and encrypting messages
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email messages and PIN messages that you send from your BlackBerry® device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the message has not been changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.
To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your device uses the email address in your contact list to locate a PGP® key or certificate for the contact.
Sign or encrypt a message
You can sign or encrypt email messages and PIN messages.
1. When composing a message, change the Encoding field.
2. If necessary, change the Classification field.

File and attachment basics

About files and attachments
You can view and download attachments and save them to the BlackBerry® device memory or on a media card. If you delete an email message that contains an attachment that you have downloaded, the attachment is not deleted from your device. If you save an email message that contains an attachment that you have viewed, the email message and the attachment are saved in the device memory until you delete the email message.
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports accessing files on your organization's network, you can preview files from your organization's network and save the files to your device or attach them directly to email messages without downloading them. You can use the files application to view a list of all the files saved on your device. You can also rename, move, and delete files on your organization's network from your device.
To change attachments or files that you download, you can use third-party editing applications (such as Documents to Go®) that are designed for use on BlackBerry devices.
