Use of Non-Service Initialized Phones to Make Fraudulent 911 Calls

概要

In this document, the Commission grants a Petition for Notice of Inquiry filed by nine public safety organizations and a software development firm, and seeks comment, analysis, and information in three specific areas: The nature and extent of fraudulent 911 calls made from non-service initialized (NSI) handsets; carrier and public safety authority concerns with blocking NSI phones used to make fraudulent 911 calls, and suggestions for making this a more viable solution for carriers; and other possible solutions to the problem of fraudulent 911 calls from NSI handsets.
