iPad Has The Ability to Make Emergency Calls?

GumballTech found that if you enter your iPad passcode lock incorrectly a few times, the iPad brings up an Emergency Call Screen.

The above was easily achieved by enabled a passcode lock, and then entering it incorrectly about 5 times. You can then slide for a emergency call.


The Emergency Call Screen is formatted for the iPad with wider buttons and a centered keypad. Its unclear if this capability is required by the FCC; however, if the iPad can make emergency calls it will likely be hacked to make regular phone calls as well.
