kudos:36 | Skype won't provide me with E-911 service for $29. I'll keep my POTS line and just use my cell phone for long distance. |

1 edit | Re: Hmm 29.99 a montn with SkypeBack to the topic - do you know if Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriffs Office, and Harris County Constables (all precincts) subscribe to the E-911 service?
Last time I dialed 911 on my Cingular handset, I was sent to a Cingular dispatch center before HPD. Same thing on my Nextel phone, so it's not just "ATT Crap", as you so eloquently state.

I was asking you why neither my Cingular nor my Sprint/Nextel handsets go directly to Houston Police Department when I dial 911.
Do you have an answer othat than "because They Suck DUH"? Thanks.

said by your link :
First: The FCC requires wireless carriers to provide Enhanced 911 call identification capability when requested by each of the approximately 6,000 state/local PSAPs nationwide.
I know that Verizon has E-911. I know that Cingular and Nextel have it, too. What I was asking you is if you knew about HPD, HCSO, and HCCO... if their call centers support E-911?
Have you ever actually dialed 911 from your Verizon phone? If not, this discussion is moot at best.

You claim to have called Verizon to see if your phone has GPS:
said by you :

That's all fine and dandy - all they did was tell you that, yes, your phone does come with GPS. Just because it's there doesn't mean that the local police call center is compatible. Like I said, my Nextel phone has GPS enabled, but it's useless if the local police don't support it. You have much to learn about cell phones. 
If you're curious and want to actually see if it works, try calling these numbers - 713-884-3131 (HPD) or 281-652-1100 (PPD) - to ask if their call centers will work with E-911.
