when you call 911 how do they know where you are.............
in most states, 911 calls on cell phones are handled by regional centers operated by the state police. they determine where you are and then call the appropriate local agency. i have a friend who had a heart attack and called 911 on his cell. he died. i don't know that the lack of a landline made any difference, but i do know a cell 911 call has latency built into it.
that's the reason i keep my landline. it's even got push buttons contrary to what some would have you believe.
Is it hooked up to your "I've fallen and I can't get up!" necklace?
