# How to Make Emergency Calls From an 8x8 Hot Desk Phone

## Question

Can I make emergency calls using a Hot Desk phone?

## Applies To

- 8x8 Hot Desk

## Answer

Yes. In North America, dial **911** just as you would on any other phone, whether or not you are logged in as a Hot Desk guest user. The physical location of the Hot Desk phone is registered as the emergency address of the call.

## Additional Information

Apart from emergency calls, a Hot Desk host does not allow you to make or receive any calls when you are not logged in as a guest. See [Log In or Out of Hot Desk](/support/docs/log-in-or-out-of-hot-desk).
