Re: Landline

Yeah, sure. You can just get get a phone (even a toy one they sell in Toys-R-US), dial 911, and you will be connected.

No, if you don't have dial tone, it won't work. Period.

Re: Landline

Oh, Yea I know if the landline is dissconnect from the switch it wont work, but say my phones get dissconnected, they still have dialtone but wont let you dial out. I tried 911 and it worked, told them I was testing it.
