Re: question about 911 with boost

said by rody_44 See Profile :

thanks guys, no landline at all in my house and this was a concern that i didnt think about until after i made the decision. 911 always asked me what township i lived in (but doesnt have to transfer the call) its just i was uncomfortable thinking they might get routed to another county. i live on a very rural road thats a main route for a very popular bar and actually use 911 on average of once a month.
I suggest getting an emergency landline or see if your landline provider provides what's called a soft dialtone that provides 911 access, I think by FCC law they are required to for free. From experience working at a PSAP, cell phones are very unreliable at routing 911 calls, if at all possible do not use a cell phone for 911 it most likely will involve transfers and delays.

When you have to use 911, immediately tell them your township and full address first before anything else. Especially with Boost, not saying they are a bad company, but prepaid companies have more problems with 911. Even though Boost is a subsidary of Nextel
