When my wife and I bought our new house we decided not to get a landline since we both have cellphones. Is this a safety issue? If I were to call 911 on my cell and be unable to speak, do the police have a database that would show my address? If not, how would the dispatcher even know what police office to dispatch? I do have my local village police number saved on the phone, but I have waited a long time for someone to pick up when calling that number in the past.
What about cable-based landlines? Does anyone know if my address pops up on the 911 operator's board if I were to make a call from a Time-Warner digital phone or the like?
