Re: Who pays what??
911 just has a real phone number so all 911 calls get routed to that real phone number. no magic, no voodoo, nothing special except getting telco retards to give out the secret number.
You'll also be pleased to know that in some areas the 911 calls for an entire region are routed through the same place so certain places can have a fiber line get broke and instantly kill 911 to hundreds of thousands if not millions at once even if the distance from your home to the 911 center is within walking distance. I'm 2 miles from the telco switch building, it's 30 miles to the 911 dispatch and the place the fiber usually gets cut is about 100 miles away and the place the calls are routed through is about 200 miles away. It never hurts to have the non 911 number to your local emergency dispatch handy. |

Austin, TX | My question still isn't answered. The story says nothing about the "telco retards" refusing to give out the "secret number" |
