how do I stop my phone from being able to make emergency calls
I am setting up a phone for my sister in law who has learning disabilities. It is an additional phone she can carry as she likes to have it with her, it is not needed for anything important and she always has carers around her. Problem we have is even if she has a headache she will call 999. She doesn't understand the whole level of emergency thing!
So I just want to be able to block her 999 emergency number that is on sky mobile so it wont call anyone. As I have said there is no reason to have it at all as she is always with carers but will call 999 when they look the other way!
Hopefully there is a way to do this thanks!

Re: how do I stop my phone from being able to make emergency calls
I don't think you can, and I don't think providers would want the facility switched off imo.
NOTE: I only provide help on the forum boards and NOT via Direct Messaging so DMs are switched off
