   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.
