In an emergency, what is the fastest way to call 911? I've done it on accident.

[AC Question]

I live in a volatile situation. I need to be able to access 911 the fastest way possible on purpose. I've butt dialed it. Not helpful since I don't know how I did that. Help please.

The best thing to do would be to use the speed dial function on your phone and have 911 preprogrammed into one of the speed dial numbers. You haven't specified what phone model you have so I can't provide further advice on how to do this on your phone until you do.

Even faster - put 911 in as a contact. Look in Widgets for Direct Dial, choose the 911 contact and drag the icon to your main homescreen. Now one touch of an icon and you're dialing 911. (You can do that for other numbers you dial frequently - then drag one icon to another and you'll have a folder of direct dial numbers.)
