Do you know: As a matter of fact yes I did.. You see, the phone number for the office I used to work in is all over this thread.. All 3 digits of it.
It happens to be a federal law.. Any carrier receiving a 9-1-1 call has to send it to the nearest (or proper) call center.
So, let's say your phone is authorized on Carrier A, but A has not roam agreement with B. but only B covers the area where you happen to be pressing SEND, if it's 9-1-1 B has to transport the call.
Or if its a pre-paid out of minutes.. Same thing, No charge for 9-1-1 it does not add to or subtract from your minutes.
PLEASE... When calling 9-1-1 be prepared to tell the ESO (emergency Services Operator) WHERE you are.. He (or she) may need to forward the call.
One (slightly laundered and way shortened call)
Phone: Ring
Me: State Police
Caller: I'm at the corner of walk and don't walk and I'm not feeling well, I'm trying to get to hospital but I don't think I'll make it (he did by the way but not in his car).
Caller describes textbook symptoms of heart attack. and goes on "It can't be my heart I'm only 27"..
I talked him (And EMS cardiac care unit) into the same parking lot where he secured his car and transferred to EMS which got him to the hospital in time.
Yup, that was my phone number we are talking about.
