Here's an idea.....

Who does NOT have a cell phone now-a-days?

Dial 911 - and s*it.....even just hang up! They have your location (911 = location service is enabled, AFAIK) and will come. I mean really....i don't even use my VoIP. It's nice when I need it....but my cell phone is so much more convenient.

Oh....not to mention that anyone who does NOT know the local #'s to the following places are )#%)#)%)(#()(% RETARDED:

-Police Dept
-Fire Dept
-Hospital
-Poison Control (well...regional #)

Then with a sharpie...write them on the damn WALL where the phone is!

S*it....my ISP gave me a sticker to put on the phone to WRITE emergency #'s on (and a nice disclaimer).

I remember when we got a second phone line YEARS ago (VoIP didn't exist) - they gave us that SAME STICKER!

Hmmmmm...

To me it's like saying "I don't need a smoke alarm in the kids room - i'll be able to feel the heat if there's a fire".

I don't know all of the local #'s, a lot of cell phones do not have GPS, there are still issues with cells and 911 calls in places, my POTs line has not gone down in a blackout or for any other reason in over 20 years - far more reliable than a cell or internet based calling.

911 will only gain access still need to give info.
e911 has everything populated already so they know the address/name of person. both run on 911 system but it depends on which one is active in your area and if your phone co. supports. Thats the issue with E911 with most voip companies. They may have you as california, but if you move to florida the e911 still shows old address (assuming you can keep number)
