> Does 911 work different for cell phones? Yes, it does. Calling 911 from a cell phone connects you to a big regional call center that gets your location and transfers you to your local one, whereas calling 911 from a land line connects you to your local emergency call center immediately. Also, calling 911 from a land line gives the dispatcher your address. Cell phones will send along your location if they can get it, but GPS doesn't work too well indoors, and tower-based location can be off by tens or hundreds of meters. |
