| Vonage 911
Spoke with Vonage today and the sales rep claimed when you call 911 on their system. It's not the same as dialing 911 from a land-line phone.
You routed to a local call center. If they don't pickup, your routed to a national or state call center.
Any ideas on where to find these numbers for your area? You could just put them on speed dial for use on other providers. |

Hoover, AL | look in phone book, under your city or county for the emergency number. You could also get E-911 which is the same as landline 911 with another provider |

I wouldn't trust an ANALOG cell phone for my 911 calling. |

Analog is still the backbone of digital cell phones. |

Harrington Park, NJ | You have to test it, I called and went to the correct normal 911 operator, they just do not see your name or address....Before you test it make sure you are allowed by calling (police?) |

said by hayabusa3303  :Analog is still the backbone of digital cell phones. How do you figure?? The signals are digitized at the cell phone and travel digitally to the other end. WHat do think that the cell towers have a bunch of POTS lines coming in to transfer the calls??

Maybe he meant that ultimately, the voice path has to become analog when the call arrives at your PSTN front door?

@192.147.x.x | I have current cell service that gets 911. I have a older digital and analog cell phone that has no service, but they still connect to 911.
I keep the older digital phone charged just for backup. |

For the 911, I tested it and it works. For the cell issue, in Helena they got rid of all analog towers and put in new all digital CDMA towers |
