You can call 911 from your cell phone right??
I've done it a few times.

If we are being required to pay for 911 service on our cell phone bills, then it is only reasonable to expect that it should work as best as it can, and that the technology will continue to improve over time, just as it has with landline 911.

While I don't exactly know what the 911 charge goes to pay, I could guess that there are a lot of salaries to be paid and current technology to be kept up.

If we want more from our E911 service then I think we shouldn't be asking "then why am I paying a fee", but rather we should be asking how much more we would need to spend to get the service we want.

It works flawlessly where I'm at...even switching between municipalities. I hope I'm not the exception!
