Subject: Any time you call 911 reguardless of land line or cell phone dont count on the information being correct because your data can be wrong, and it is protocol nationally for all calls to start out with asking you address or where you are calling from.
In reply to: kleigh 's message, "One thing I didn't see mentioned in the "keep the landline" catagory - 911 emergency calls - if you need to call 911 - even if you need to leave they have your address - not so with all cell phones - you need to give them your location. Trust me - when you need to dial 911 you'll forget your address even if you have lived there for 36 years." on 19:51:49 06/06/11 Mon

[> [> [> Yeah, I've heard that, and if you are calling from a landline with no active service, I guess the address thing isn't going to work, but I'd still rather have that security. What if the cell phone is dead? Then you could be dead too! -- JJ (Ronda), 18:56:41 06/07/11 Tue [1]
