Hi Andy, It doesn't work that way. I am not sure why, but I tried it and still SIRI won't dial it.

Why not just set up 911 as a contact, and just press and hold the home btn and say "Call 911"? Andy -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Homiak Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 4:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: 911 app? Does anybody know a way to do this or a way to put something like this on the home screen? What I'm thinking about is this: if I were to wake up in the middle of the night and had to call 911 say because I was sick, I probably wouldn't feel much like doing a bunch of tapping to get to phone and put in the number and hit call. Even if I could speak it, maybe I wouldn't be understandable to siri or siri might do its little tick-tick-tick and do nothing or say: "How can I help you?" I'd like something on my home screen that I could double tap. But I wouldn't want to double tap it by accident so it would have to require me to do it a second time to confirm or else it would have to be an app I would open first and then double tap to make the call. That still would be easier than doing it from the phone app. Does anybody know a way to do this? And yes, I do know about landlines vs cell phones for 911 so that's not what i'm asking about. Also, i don't have health problems that are causing me to want this; I'm just thinking about possibilities.
