They wouldn't sell me a phone until I gave them a "service address".
As I understand it, if they can't determine a location from the
regular cell tower triangulation, they use that address.
Personally, I don't care all that much. I lived for thirty years
before the 911 system was available. I understand a few people have
perhaps died from e911 not working over voip, but autos kill 30,000+/
year and we still use them.
Technically, I don't see how you can track IP address location very
easily. I don't look forward to a government mandated system that I
need to feed info into.
We still have a landline at our house, but never use it. I would cut
that $35/month if things got tight. Compared to the six cell phones
we have for ~$125/month that we actually use the landline is a very
value.

Last I heard, a voip call was required to have e911. Like to know
how they are going to pull their roaming wifi voip off without
saying, it's cell phone service even though it's wifi voip.
Very serious issue here.
