Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for calculating a location of user equipment (UE) prior to communicating an SMS message to an emergency number. More particularly, additional time is provided to location services so a complete location can be determined, prior to an SMS message being composed and communicated to emergency services. To do so, the UE transitions into an emergency mode as soon as the recipient of the text message is identified as an emergency number (e.g., 911). This immediately causes the UE to unblock all numbers (i.e., in case emergency services needs to initiate a voice call to the UE), enable location services, and initiate a location calculation. As a result, the location calculation is already determined by the time the user composes the text hits send.
