Claims38
A method comprising:
- attempting to send an emergency communication from a mobile device using a plurality of carriers, wherein the plurality of carriers comprises different carriers capable of communicating with the mobile device;
- in response to attempting to send the emergency communication from the mobile device, failing to send the emergency communication from the mobile device;
- and
- in response to the emergency communication not being sent from the mobile device, displaying a map on the mobile device indicating prior successful communication locations for the plurality of carriers, wherein the map enables a user of the mobile device to relocate to an area in which there is sufficient cell coverage to send the emergency communication from the mobile device.

An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
- attempt to send an emergency communication from the apparatus using a plurality of carriers, wherein the plurality of carriers comprises different carriers capable of communicating with the apparatus;
- in response to attempting to send the emergency communication from the apparatus, fail to send the emergency communication from the apparatus;
- and
- in response to the emergency communication not being sent from the apparatus, display a map on the apparatus indicating prior successful communication locations for the plurality of carriers, wherein the map enables a user of the apparatus to relocate to an area in which there is sufficient cell coverage to send the emergency communication from the apparatus.
