BB Tour: Emergency Call Mode Only

This morning I accidentally selected the the option to make an emergency call rather than unlocking my phone via password.  I immediately terminated the call, but have been unable to make/receive calls, browse the web, send text  or email etc.  I tried powering the phone on and off, removing the battery, and turning my network connections on and off (tried all several times) and nothing has worked.  My phone has been like this for 6 hours now.  A review of the BB guide stated the emergency call mode would disable once I made an outbound non emergency call, but his obviously didn't work.  The other portion of the guide said the phone normally resets after a few minutes.  Any ideas?

Here is some additional information if you are still unable to use your device.
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. Emergency
Callback Mode is active for five minutes or is canceled when you make a non-emergency call.
***Since you have already tried to make a non-emergency call, and it is still not disabling the emergency mode, try calling your voicemail box (*86 send) and go as far as checking your messages. This should disable the Emergency Callback Mode.
I hope this information helps.

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

    I have a droid razr and I am stuck in the emergency call mode. I tried taking the sim card out and powering down that didn't work. I let the battery completely die for 3 days. I tried to dial some number without pushing send and hitting home. What can I do? Please someone help??

        Hello gfouty
    That would be a very frustrating issue. Let's get this fixed! Did you get a new Sim card? What model Droid Razr do you have? What zip code are you in?
    I look forward to your reply so we can get you up and running.

  • Can not exit emergency call mode

    My phone seems to be stuck in emergency call mode.  How do I get out of it.  Turning off and on does not work  Thanks

    But did you Try a Soft Reset!   This is Different than just shutting it off..
    Soft Reset - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA  
    A soft reset is the most useful tool for resolving a variety of issues. In most cases, a soft reset will not affect data on the device, unless the battery is very low.
    Press and hold volume down key then press and hold the power button until the device powers off then release.

  • Droid Razr Max is stuck in Emergency call mode

    Last night my phone went into Emergency call mode.  I cannot get it out.  I have shut down the phone numerous times, waited and rebooted.  It is still stuck.  I have no idea what caused this.  Help please!

        @bbears4fun,
    You come to the right place for help! I definitely want you to be able to use your phone at all times.
    I see you found that you had accidentally set up the PIN for the phone. Were you able to turn off the PIN as Ann154 suggested http://vz.to/1kGlRcD? Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

  • Pearl 8130 Emergency Call Mode

    Hi,  I've been issued a Pearl 8130 at work and generally like it. It does generally work well for me, except for one deal-breaking flaw.
    Occasionally the phone jumps into "Emergency Call Mode" when I try to unlock it. I'll have the "Unlock" keyword highlighted but it jumps to Emergency Call just as I press the pearl, probably due to slight motion because I am using the phone on the train. Twice now an inadvertant second button press caused the phone to call 911. I hung up ASAP, but they called me back and I had to explain that I am OK and it is just this stupid phone making unwanted 911 calls.
    How do I get disable Emergency Call Mode?  It is really annoying, and a terrible design flaw.
    Thanks

    Sorry, you can't disable it, and if you are in the USA, emergency calling is required by federal law.

  • Tried to sync to new itunes and now my phone is stuck in emergency call mod

    Okay, Ive tried for hours and need help! I tried to update my 3G to the new itunes. Since then doing so, im getting an error message that reads "We cannot complete your iTunes store request. The network connection times out." I trouble shooted and followed all the prompts it said to fix the issue, have unplugged and restarted, and now the only thing the stupid phone does is give me the "emergency call" screen! I set it to factory settings before downloading the new software.. Haven't seen another screen for hours! I'm getting frustrated.. Any thoughts? Someone? Please!!!

    You should try to put the phone into Recovery Mode so that iTunes can restore it.
    1. First, make sure that your computer has an active internet connection (you can open the iTunes Music Store and make sure you can navigate around as a way to check your internet connection).
    2. Turn the phone off (hold the top button until the slider appears, then drag the slider).
    3. Hold down the Home (round) button while you connect the USB cable to the iPhone. The USB cable should be connected directly to a good USB port on your computer, not on a USB hub, monitor, or keyboard.
    4. Continue to hold the Home button down until the Recovery Mode screen appears (it looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/mhsje5 )
    5. When you see that screen, release the Home button.
    iTunes should tell you that it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode and that you must restore it.
    iTunes will probably give you the option to set it up as a new phone or restore it from a backup. Choose setting it up as a new phone.

  • "iphone is deactivated". Only emergency call alowed only. What do I do?

    "iphone is deactivated" it is written on the screen. Only emergency call alowed. What do I do?

    It said it would take 2 hours, and my iPhone had a 'connected to itunes' screen. I tried twice but about an 1/8 of the way into restoring it, my iphone made a noise and went back to the disabled screen. Then i thought i'd try it one last time, and on this 3rd time, i ignored it when it went back to the disabled screen from the connected to itunes screen. And it keep saying in itunes that it was still doing an restore update. Only when the 2 hours was over. Nothing happened or came up.

  • Z30 Emergency Calls Only

    Hi,
    I have been using Z30 for about 3 months and it was fine until sunday. I made a call on sunday night before going to bed. When I wake up in the morning, to my surprise, i see the phone was switched to EMERGENCY CALLS mode. I swapped SIM, toggled airplane and Mobile Network. Even I tried the Network Selection mode to manual/automatic. Everything went unsuccessful.
    I can use the same SIM in the other phone. 
    Please advise how the EMERGENCY CALLS only mode can be changed.
    One more thing, 2 days before the phone OS was updated to 10.3.1.1767.
    Look forward to hear from you.
    Thank you.
    S. Alwar
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you try: Turn on Airplane mode --> Reset Phone (using either method I said earlier) --> Turn off airplane mode and check if signal is back ?
    Also a couple of other quick questions. When you put network settings to "manual", does it show a list of available networks ?
    Can you also tell me the Radio Version you have from: Settings --> About --> OS (from dropdown)  ? Is it 10.3.1.2559 (just want to see if it same as my phone)
    Thanks!

    I also had this problem recently and did search on Google and found this very nice guide to handle a no service or emergency calls only issue. Hope this will help you too or other people who will have the same problem. Here is the link for that.
