said by MTBikerChris:Cingular handset Thats because They Suck DUH. While I agree that Cingular has its shortcomings at times, my service has been top-notch.
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 :
i called VZ to make sure and my phone has a GPS on
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.
