page 16.
Ask Siri anything, from “set the timer for 3 minutes” to “what movies are showing tonight?” Open 
apps, and turn features on or off, like Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and Accessibility.

My Info and tap your name.

safety information
 on page 151 .

Call (to dial 911 in the U.S., for example).
Important:  You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that

may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not activated, if iPhone is not 
compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if 
iPhone does not have a SIM card or if the SIM card is PIN-locked.
In the U.S., location information (if available) is provided to emergency service providers when 
you dial 911.

unheard messages you have. The first time you tap Voicemail, you’re prompted to create a 
voicemail password and record your voicemail greeting.

to voicemail.

features. See support.apple.com/kb/HT4515 .

you’re outside your carrier’s network, and other local carrier data networks are available to use 
for your phone calls, visual voicemail, and cellular network Internet connections. You can make 
calls only on carriers that have a roaming agreement with your carrier. Additional fees may apply.
