Hi Tom,
You cannot dial 911 using SIRI, but you can definitely dial it using the keyboard. My guess is that maybe in the excitement your friend simply dialed wrong. The only other option would be for your friend to get an app like Call 911, one I checked out once and which was accessible was by a developer called Tobias Werner.

He tried to dial 911 with his iPhone and it wouldn't go through. He tried telling Siri to call and manually dialing it in. Neither would work. Is there a way to dial 911 for emergencies using an iPhone? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
