Kalispell, MT | Well... In my county (Flathead County, MT), when I had to call 911 about a road condition that could have became very serious (dead animal in the road blocking one lane with fog causing visibility under 1/4 mile in a 55 mph zone), I learned that - at least at the time - my cell phone provider (MTPCS Cellular One - www.cellonenation.com ) does not route calls to the actual 911 line, instead they show up as being on the business line. Thus instead of being answered as "911 what is your emergency?" they're answered as "Flathead County Sheriff's Office, how can I help you?"
I don't know if this is Cellular One or the Sheriff's Office's problem. Just proof it isn't always at all the same from a cell phone... |

Kalispell, MT | I asked a friend who is a 911 dispatcher. He told me it is that way with every call in my county from my cell carrier, has been for a long time, and they are aware of it and haven't fixed it. That was many months ago, maybe it's fixed now. |
