[quote=Anonymous]OP here: Calling 911 from a cell phone is hit or miss depending on where you live. Where I worked in VA we had whats called E911 or enhanced 911. WE could tell roughly where your call was coming from. If you are in a condo it would just show the building though, not the specific unit. Or if are in an area without this service then we just know what cell tower you are close to. There is a jurisdiction in MD with a small dept that doesnt have E911. I think its crazy. Everywhere should have it. The same people answer the phones, If someone is on the phone already, someone else gets the next one. If its really busy due to some type of disaster or major traffic issue then non emergency people get put on hold. If its not life threatening you can call the non emergency number, car accidents with no injuries would be a non emergency. You can find out the number online for where you live and program it into your phone as a contact.[/quote]
