PRIORITY ACCESS & PREEMPTION
Priority service when it matters most.
Agencies registered for Wireless Priority Service (WPS) receive priority access and preemption on our nationwide network. We help with WPS registration—at no cost.
Priority access & preemption on T-Mobile.
1
The importance of WPS.
WPS is vital to national security and is administered by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA, part of DHS). It ensures priority access to cellular and landline networks for critical infrastructure agencies.
2
Registration is easy.
T-Mobile registers eligible organization lines for WPS at no charge and uses WPS enrollment to assign priority and preemption status for calls and data. No user action is required.
3
Assuring call completion.
If there is congestion on another network, a customer can obtain WPS-assigned priority for their call by dialing *272 or using a Priority Telecommunications Services app for cross-carrier calls.
The Department of Homeland Security determines WPS eligibility.
Why use WPS?
WPS is the only way to assure end-to-end voice call prioritization. On WPS-registered lines, T-Mobile provides priority access and preemption for voice and priority access for data. If congestion occurs on other networks, WPS users can obtain receiving-network priority, but not preemption, by dialing *272 or with the Priority Telecommunications Services app.
