Is this what you mean?-

What happens when a phone controlled with FamilyBase calls 911?

When a controlled phone dials 911, calling restrictions are automatically suspended until the Account Owner reestablishes the settings for that line of service. A free text message is also sent to the Account Owner stating that:

A phone on the account dialed 911

The FamilyBase Controls feature has been suspended and must be reinstated online in My Verizon

When the Account Owner signs in to My Verizon, an alert will appear that contains the mobile number that dialed 911 and an option to Reset FamilyBase Controls. If the Account Owner fails to reset the control, all voice restrictions will remain suspended for that line of service. All voice, messaging and data usage will be billed in accordance with the applicable plan, feature or package.

Hey, thx for your interest. Basically, I've heard it has something to di w/Iphones where the kids are dialing 911 which stops all data following. I think this is what my granddaughter does so she doesn't go over her amount and/or, doing something that can't be traced. Its very very confusing and I'm trying to reach out and find someone who knows what this is all about!

I searched both Blackberry and iPhone for some sort of 911 data disconnect.  All I found was that dialing 911 called emergency services.
