A method for transmitting an emergency call of a mobile phone includes the
steps of: receiving position recognition information from a base station
via a forward channel in roaming a mobile terminal; varying a search
position on an emergency call mapping table previously stored in a memory
according to the received position recognition information; and
transmitting a call by a phone number set on the varied search position
when an emergency call needs to be transmitted. With this method, even
though the user is not aware of the emergency call number of a country or
an area where he uses his mobile phone to make an emergency call or even
though he or she is not aware of a one-touch dial number or a manual for
making a call, the user can easily make an emergency call. Moreover, by
linking the read address of the phone book, in which the emergency call
number has been stored, to the key for making an emergency call, making
an emergency call can be promptly performed automatically by one-time key
manipulation.
