I used 911 once in TV, and when I made the first call (by cell phone), I was in Sumter County (very close to Lake County), the call was automatically routed to Sumter County. As I was driving I realized I had made a mistake on the directions I gave, and I made a second call, by this time I had crossed into Lake county, and I was routed to Lake County dispatch who then transferred me back to Sumter county. It really worked well, this cell phone actually has a Pennsylvania phone number (area code), so I was very impressed at how well it worked.
