Verizon sending mass text message in regards to DL09 emergency calling bug


Samsung recently acknowledged the bug from the DL09 update that broke the emergency calling functionality when the Samsung Fascinate was locked with a pattern.
With that, Verizon has starting sending out text messages to affected users in regards to the issue. Here’s what  Big Red had to say:
Free VZW Msg(s) – Use of your emergency call button on your Fascinate phone with software SCH-i500.DL09 may not work while the phone is locked. A software fix will be pushed to your device soon. Until available, disable pattern lock to ensure emergency calls can be placed. To check your software version press Applications>Settings>About phone and view Build number. Only version SCHi-500.DL09 is impacted by this issue. Versions SCH-i500.DI01 and SCH-i500.DH12 are functioning properly. To disable pattern lock press Applications>Settings>Location & Security and remove check from Require Pattern.
From this message, it appears that Verizon will have another update available soon to fix this issue. Fascinate users, remember to keep pattern locking disabled for now and keep your eyes peeled for the update.
