You couldn't set up Emergency Calling
If you aren’t home when you try to set up Emergency Calling in the Home app , you’ll get a message that says Your phone is outside the address area. You'll need to wait until you are physically at the home before you can complete the setup process.
Before you try to set up Emergency Calling again, make sure that:
- You are physically at your home
- You’ve entered the full street address for the home in the Home app
- You’ve turned on Location permissions for the Home app in your device’s Settings
Your call was disconnected
When you use emergency calling, the 911 operator may ask you for a call back number. If you’re disconnected before you can provide a call back number, the operator can still call you back on your cell phone.
