Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for delaying communication of a short message service (SMS) message to an emergency number until a location of user equipment (UE) is determined. To do so, a timer is started as soon as the user hits send for SMS to an emergency number. The location is recalculated until the timer runs out or the desired location uncertainty is achieved. For example, if the timer is still running and the location uncertainty is greater than a pre-configured threshold, the UE keeps recalculating the location. Once the location uncertainty is equal to or below the pre-configured threshold, or the timer runs out, the location and the SMS message are communicated to the emergency number.
