Sort of. The dispatcher can't triangulate you. That has to be done by the phone company, and that means proving that we need the call info. Some times they won't even provide it unless we get a subpoena showing what our reason for asking is....which can really cut into how long it takes to get the infodoes multiple after-call pings mean I am being triangulated by the dispatcher? I have made 911 calls from rural points and been pinged
yep. It's been required for years - but the fines are cheaper than upgrading equipment is. If a few people die along the way? Collateral damage.Why full coverage of the area wasn't made a requirement for FCC enforcement of the phone company frequencies is beyond me. Maybe thats a fine they would rather just pay than comply with?
yes!911 texts should get an automatic reply- "use the phone in your hand sweetheart"
Ya - gotta love those voip calls. grrrrrrr...My phone works everywhere I regularly go except for my house and property, same for many of my neighbors. we have to get our calls on the internet by using a "network extender".
That and anyone else who isn't in a position to talk on the phone. Think "hiding in the closet from the bad guys". Also, at least around here, there are a lot of places where you might have a good enough signal to send a text, but not to successfully complete a phone call. My house is actually one of those places, I was just lucky the call went through and we stayed connected.911 texts are presumably deaf
