Re: question about 911 with boost

I am a boost mobile customer who recently used e911 from my i776.

The 911 operator was able to pinpoint my location using the GPS feature in my phone and transfered my call to the correct agency.

The transfer felt quick, and solid. They made me feel like they have done this before, just another day in the office.

Perhaps they have gotten all the bugs out? The e911 system has matured over the years.

Were you outdoor's? We have the latest E911 CAD installed and we are still only averaging a 150 meter range for CDMA/iDEN and 200+ with GSM. And the way it's supposed to work is it's supposed to use the Phase II tech to locate you and connect you with the right PSAP before it connects.

If your center is trained which it sounds like it is, it should all go smoothly.

I was in my car, had a line of site with the cell tower, about 500 feet away.
