I remember hearing about switching to voip when the 2nd gen ipod touch was getting popular, and i was intrigued enough to put off any handset upgrades on my tmobile account in order to stay out of contract in case this voip thing took off. In the 3 years since i have barely touched my mobile phone in favor of the ipod touch, but i keep the mobile for 911. i hope a fix for that comes up cuz even at the cheapest cell plan it is still a decent 50 bucks/month that i'd much rather throw at a mobile hotspot or data only plan

If you're in the US, then any phone you have has 911 service no matter whether you're subscribed to a plan or not. You can pop the SIM card out entirely and still call 911.

In the UK I gather any mobile - even without a sim, even locked - can make emergency calls. I may be wrong but I think it's a European law?
