摘要

An apparatus ( 100 ) and method ( 200 ) for enabling a wireless communication device operating during access class restrictions to receive an incoming emergency call for a predefined time period are provided. After the wireless communication device ( 100 ) makes an emergency call to an emergency service center such as police ( 216 ), the wireless communication device ( 100 ) is enabled to respond to a return call from the emergency service center ( 218 ). The wireless communication device accepts the return call based upon the emergency access class information ( 408 ) and the priority level ( 410 ) of the return call.
