In order to move favorites in the phone app, you need to double tap
the edit button in the top right of the favorites screen. Then, to the
left of each favorite item will be a delete button, and a move button
to the right of the item. Double tap and hold the move button and then
slide your finger
Well, you could hold down the home key and say call 911
also, if you have a passcode, there is a button for placing an emergency
call.

I too have put 911 at the top of my favorites.
I also put my in case of emergency (I C E) numbers on my lock screen, so a
first responder can just hit the home button or the power button to see my
I C E numbers.
I did this with a little Photo Shop on the wallpaper photo I put on the
lock
Some phones allow you to put numbers under ICE, but IPhone does not. The
only I know of is to put emergency numbers in your favorites and make sure
they are at the top of the list.

I recommend the favorites options because Siri can get quirky. I've had it

I agree with him. Often if there is the least bit of noise, I have to fight

it is extremely quiet.

Many of the medical apps will have a spot for emergency numbers. I know
mine does. It is set for 911 automatically however you can change it if you
wish. Also, there is a product called Zom, z,o,m, that is a keychain, alarm

Hi, you can still make an emergency call even if your phone is passcode

There are two ways I can think of. Use SIRI and say call 9 1 1 or set up a
911 contact and move it to your Favorites; make sure it's the first one in
your Favorites list by moving it there.

Hi Patty,
Since you can call a number by voice, all you need to do is hold the home
button until you hear the tone, then say, call 9 1 1.
Take care,

Put it this way, if some one is close by yelling at you in a very loud

reliable. The conditions with which one must function in an emergency

Unfortunately, the voice command on my device is not always reliable.

It might be good to ask the person what kind of emergencies he is concerned
with. If he doesn't know, then it might be useful to discuss the kinds of
emergencies he might find himself in and when he would be using the phone.
If there is an emergency, the first priority isn't to call 911.

I would never recommend using a voice dial app as good as Siri is, to dial

Hi,
I can dial 911 1 handed on an iPhone. Actually, most of the time while
navigating, I'm only using 1 hand. That being said, there is no question in my
mind that you can dial 911 faster on a phone with a physical number pad than a
smart phone that doesn't have one. Just do to the fact you
You don't need SIRI to voice dial 911. you can just press and hold the home
button until the phone vibrates and dings, then say dial (or call) 9 1 1.
That's it. Voiceover will say dialing 9 1 1 (assuming it heard you correctly)
and proceed to make the call.

Firstly, Lois mentioned that you don't need SIRI to voice dial, well that
is only true on an iPhone 4 which of course doesn't have SIRI anyways, but
still has voice dialing which resides on the phone.
The question is how many of you could reliably hit the buttons on most of the

situation. How many of you would even think to grab for your phone in such a
situation. THere are more factors to be considered than whether or
