As long as someone answers the phone it is serving its purpose. Most of
them have an autodialer so I presume they all go to an alarm company.
But the underlying question is: what technology is most likely to work
during an emergency?
Say a 911 scenario, cell phone base tech will not work. Perhaps all
wireless would be iffy. Good copper, in duct, under the streets works in
almost all conditions.

Correct... I am not sure what is the logic and regulations behind that....
Just stating what the underlying facts are in our neck of the woods...
and Was addressing the un-said assumption that the Phone inside the
elevator is somehow used to deal with 911/fire etc type emergencies.... It
only dial out to the manned 'elevator monitoring service'....

Of all the alarm buttons I've ever pressed in elevators, they just ring
a bell/alarm while pressed and that's it. Useful for Morse code though.
