Calling 911 without a landline?
I tried to do a search and was unable to find anything that fit.
Many folks in TV have eliminated their land line phones. Some replacing the land line with voice over the internet....Ooma for example. Others have defaulted back to using their cell phones only for everything.
From what I understand about our Ooma set up is when we originally registered the number and personal information, the address is registered in their emergency notification system.
Hence 911 will dispatch to our home address.
Should be no problem if works as stated.
Cell phones get a little muddier. Again my understanding is a cell phone 911 call goes to the agency closest to the tower being used (as explained to me).....then gets routed to proper address.
If a smart phone is GPS capable does it locate by GPS?
Any and all comments to help understand better will be appreciated.
