This has been an issue with VOIP services around the country, though,

not gotten connected to anything; and in many places that's the only
contact for emergency services.
heh. VoIP pah.
Two years ago I called 911 on our primary POTS line. I was
immediately connected to the emergency services people in Camden NJ
-- several towns to the west of me. When I told the lady I was in
Cherry Hill, she quickly told me to call the Cherry Hill police
directly, then hung up.
Bottom line: PR campaign notwithstanding, 911 is not the beat all
end all people think it is or want it to be. ALWAYS have local
emergency phone numbers available!
