1. A system for assisting with calls to public safety answering points (PSAPs), said system comprising:
- a network node configured to enable a user to submit emergency message data;
a telecommunications device, including;
a memory;
a transceiver configured to communicate over a telecommunications network; and
a processing unit in communication with said memory and transceiver, and configured to;
in response to receiving the emergency message data in an audio format via the telecommunications network, store the audio emergency message in said memory;
in response to a determination that the telecommunications device is at one or more of a different network or a different geographic location, request, on a periodic basis, an update of the emergency message data from the user;
communicate the stored audio emergency message to a PSAP on a full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel in response to the user requesting that the audio emergency message be communicated to the PSAP; and
maintain said telecommunications device in an off-hook state on the same full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel used to communicate the stored audio emergency message such that an audio connection remains open, in real-time between the user and the PSAP, after communicating the audio emergency message to the PSAP.

9. A method for assisting with calls to public safety answering points (PSAPs), said system comprising:
-
receiving emergency message data from a user; storing the emergency message data in a telecommunications device; in response to a determination that the telecommunications device is at one or more of a different network or a different geographic location, requesting, on a periodic basis, an update of the emergency message data from the user; in response to receiving an emergency call request from the user at a telecommunications device, communicating the emergency message data in an audio format to a PSAP on a full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel; and maintaining an off-hook state on the same full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel used to communicate the stored audio emergency message such that an audio connection remains open, in real-time between the user and the PSAP, after communicating the audio emergency message to the PSAP. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for assisting with calls to public safety answering points (PSAPs), said method comprising:
-
providing a user interface to a user of a telecommunications device to enable the user to selectably enter emergency information; storing the emergency information entered by the user; in response to a determination that the telecommunications device is at one or more of a different network or a different geographic location, requesting, on a periodic basis, an update of the emergency information from the user; in response to the user calling a PSAP via the telecommunications device, communicating the stored emergency information in an audio format to the PSAP on a full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel; and maintaining an off-hook state on the same full-duplex, two-way voice communication channel used to communicate the stored emergency information in audio format such that an audio connection remains open, in real-time between the user and the PSAP, after communicating the stored emergency information in audio format to the PSAP. - View Dependent Claims (17)
