Availability

Wireless Priority Service is widely available from AT&T (formerly Cingular Wireless), Cellcom, Cellular South, SouthernLINC, Sprint Nextel, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless.

Cellular service provider participation in the WPS program is voluntary. Participating service providers typically deploy WPS in stages until service is available in most coverage areas and functionality has reached Full Operating Capability (FOC).

• To view WPS availability information by carrier click on the carrier buttons in the left side menu.

Service Requests

WPS is requested through the on-line GETS-WPS Information Delivery Service (G-WIDS). Carrier personnel are unable to process requests for WPS; all WPS service requests must be made through G-WIDS. It is appropriate to contact cellular service provider representatives to discuss WPS coverage areas, costs, and other service information.

• See the Program Information section on how to request a Point of Contact (POC) User ID and password to access G-WIDS.

Changing Service Providers

Should a WPS user wish to change service providers, whether transferring their existing telephone number or obtaining a new number, they must have their POC submit a change request through G-WIDS. The NCS will coordinate between service providers to transfer the WPS subscription, if WPS is available, to the new service provider. The service transfer cannot be arranged through the new service provider.
