I think you are kidding yourself with 911 being able to find a Majic Jack number or if they can it would take precious time.
As we all know, you never know you need something until you really need it!!

I am not kidding myself.........
Have you ever called 911 in an emergency? I have, I live in NY at the same address for 35 years and a c all to 911 from my Verizon land line could not get a response as my home couldn't be found in their system. This happened twice. Call the Fire Dept in a real emergency, they know where every house is because they are located in your community.
