OnePlus 5 has been one of the most talked about handsets prior to its release as it bears awesome features at an affordable sum. However, the mid-range is under scrutiny yet again as a substantial number of users claim that the phone has serious and life endangering flaw while calling emergency services.

They even advised their consumers to reach out them through support@oneplus.net if they too experienced the same inconvenience.

Redditors over at the Android subreddit pointed out that such issue with OnePlus 5 may be caused by the "enhanced 911 services code" that relays the whereabouts of the caller to the emergency dispatcher. Moreover, it added that both phone users in the U.S. and U.K. seem to be the ones affected by the bug.
