Out of cell phone service area
Cell phone service is not available everywhere in the Yukon. If you are outside cellular range, use a landline to call 911 or a satellite phone to call 867-667-5555.
Cell phone disruptions
If cell phone service is disrupted or inconsistent, keep trying to call 911 or your community’s local emergency numbers. At the same time, send someone to call from a landline. Community RCMP detachment offices have emergency landlines outside the door.
Telephone failure
If there is no telephone service, send someone to report the emergency in person.
