They didn't refuse to call 911. The phone had NO SERVICE on its PRL.
Alltel's 00156 system isn't listed on 50295, at all, so it doesn't exist as
far as this phone was concerned....
I think we may have a misconception of the PRLs power over this emergency
call. It would be most interesting to hear from the carriers and phone
manufacturers that, in fact, simply dialing 911 makes the phone ignore the
PRL, entirely, going on a frantic search across its receiver/technology for
any signal from anywhere. My observation is it does not.
Another fine example of FCC not forcing its will on the corporations.
