Umm, yea don't think so.

Sorry but I don't see it.

Wireless 911 is used every day on our highways & byways with no more issues than we see with landline service.

The wireless bit of it isn't the problem.

I'd actually say that wireless with GPS active could actually be more accurate than a landline call ID type of process.

The thing is, each landline is tied to a specific address, in an office complex, many PBX's are E911 capable to each individual office. A cell phone GPS won't tell the exact floor and apartment of a 50 story apartment complex. A landline 99% of the time will

True that, however, the only times that would really matter is if the caller can't respond. Then I see the problem.

Otherwise wireless caller will tell them where to go assuming there isn't some alarm that's gone off and indicated the floor/office/apartment from there.

Jazzy1122,

Umm...huh? I wasn't really talking about on the bill. I meant I don't see it as in I don't see the problem with wireless 911 being such a dire issue.

As far as I am concerned it works, and I've seen it work over & over again. But iLive4Apple makes a few good points on the GPS side.
