PTS Dialer App for GETS and WPS

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Priority Telecommunications Services “PTS Dialer” app provides a streamlined way of making priority calls. The PTS Dialer provides easy access to the following services:

• Wireless Priority Service (WPS) – priority calling when cellular networks are congested
• Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) – priority calling when landline networks are congested

Benefits

• Easy to use in emergency conditions
• Significantly reduces user dialing errors
• Speeds up calling process
• Offers choice of call type: WPS, GETS, or WPS+GETS

Key Features 

• User interface optimized for one-hand operation
• GETS PIN is stored on the phone to increase security
• Recents provides a log of latest calls made from within the app
• Frequent Calls displays most often called numbers using the app
• WPS/GETS Test Call is conveniently located at the top of the Frequent Calls

WPS subscribers should check their phone settings to ensure that LTE voice (also known as HD voice or Advanced Calling) is enabled, and if necessary, check with their carriers for availability. In the case of government- or organization-issued phones, this may require your IT department/account rep to authorize the change.

Support 

PTS Dialer supports iOS versions 13.0+ and Android versions 11.0+
