|    HOW IT WORKS: The Government Emergency T    |
|    28 Mar 22 21:07:52    |
      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              INTRODUCTION              The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) is an       easy-to-use calling card program that provides authorized national       security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) users improved call       completion on the public landline networks. It is a nationwide program       providing authorized personnel priority calling during an emergency or       crisis situation when the landline networks are congested and the       probability of completing a call is reduced. GETS interoperates with       selected government and private networks and services (FTS Networx;       the Defense Switched Network; and the Diplomatic Telecommunications       Service), and allows calls to or from international locations. The       GETS card can be used with common telephone equipment, including       standard desk sets, secure telephone equipment, facsimile, modems, and       cellular and satellite phones.              Calls placed through GETS will receive priority over normal calls,       allowing users to communicate even during the highest levels of       network congestion and do not preempt or terminate other calls already       in process. GETS also provides priority calling to cell phones on most       major carrier networks. There is no charge to enroll in GETS or to       make calls to the familiarization/test line. When making GETS calls,       subscribers can be charged the equivalent of long distance phone       rates.              ...              GETS CALLS FROM AND TO WIRELESS PHONES              Wireless phones can be used to place and receive GETS calls. Callers       using the Wireless Priority Service (WPS) to place GETS calls receive       priority in both the wireless and landline networks. From a       WPS-enabled phone, users should dial *272 + 710-627-4387 + SEND to       place these calls. Callers making GETS calls from non-WPS enabled       wireless phones will receive some enhanced capabilities, but will not       receive priority treatment in the wireless network's critical call set       up process. GETS and WPS calls terminating in wireless networks that       provide WPS will receive priority treatment through the terminating       network, regardless of whether the destination device is WPS-enabled.              https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/HOW%20IT%2       WORKS%20THE%20GOVERNMENT%20Emergency%20Telecommunications%20Service.pdf              --       (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
