Warning: This feature is not a replacement for your 911 calls, not for how they find your location, not to depend on for emergency help. Please ensure you have access to 911 calling and all their requirements. The correct working of this feature can not be guaranteed; since it depends on a lot of factors, like the network, the system, the settings that have been setup, the email server, and any software malfunction or bug or any other reason.
