In 2003, the Commission modified 47
C.F.R. Section 20.18(l) to further improve the ability of public
safety answering points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and efficiently
to calls for emergency assistance made from non-service initialized
wireless mobile handsets. Non-service-initialized wireless mobile
handsets (non-initialized handsets) are not registered for service
with any Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A
non-initialized handset lacks a dialable number, but is programmed
to make outgoing 911 calls. The Commission addressed issues arising
from the inability of a PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller who
becomes disconnected when using a non-service-initialized wireless
handset. These requirements also apply to manufacturers of 911-only
handsets that are manufactured after May 3, 2004.
