Who are the people who test E911? Are they the low-life scum who make most
of the 911 calls? Of course not. Those people never think beyond the next
hour.
Here's an idea. Have it say, "push 1 if you a decent middle class person who
pays my salary who's just testing the service, push 2 if you are scum
looking for a free ambulance ride to the emergency room because you ODed or
your pimp beat you up".

The biggoted arseholes are the ones that test.

You need to have your "arse" tested. I think it's clogged with your brains.

That's not the answer. You wouldn't want to have to perform the extra
step if you just cut your hand off, or were having a heart attack,
would you? Do you REALLY want to wait for an operator to become
available on the emergency line because someone wanted to test the
E911 function of their cell phone?
Call your local PD (on the 7-digit number, please), and ask them what
they suggest you do to test this feature, or if the local emergency
center has implemented the equipment. Then ask if your suggested test
method is another option for finding out if it works.
The point of the 911 system is to have a fast, easily recognized, easy
to dial, universal, direct line to the local emergency squad. I'd
like to get help sooner rather than later should I need it, keep the
lines open for REAL emergencies, and I don't think testing cell phone
capabilities is a real emergency.

I tried, but all the selfish pricks abusing the 911 system caused the
line to be busy.

When we first moved and got a new landline, I called the seven-digit police
number and asked if their 911 desk was busy, saying that I'd like to see if
it was all set up with my address etc. They okayed it and I called right
back.
I don't know if I could recommend this with cell phones, though, because the
E911 center may be a different PSAP entirely than the one you're calling
for permission. Myself, I've worked to put all the local police seven-digit
numbers into my cell phone. With 500 memories I doubt I'll use them all up
on 20 or 30 departments.

This is actually, quite a sensible thing to do. Call the non-emergency
number and ask first.

That too, is true. I know for a fact that some states (NJ included)
has this setup, while in other locales (i.e. parts of Texas), you can
call 911 AND the 7-digit non-emergency number, and get the exact same
person only reading a different script. However, by calling the local
non-emergency number first, you should be able to find this out for certain.

| I think what he/she intended to say was
" In some states, wireless 911 calls are not always
immediately routed to the "local" PSAP. Understand this,
wireless E911 is a work in progress, still being rolled out
in many States. Many States are in a "mixed phase" and
calls may or may not go "local" without a transfer
being involved.

Good Idea Difto, when calling 911 you never can be positive of which
local you will be connecting to. We have a turnpike * number that I call
and ask them to connect me to the right jurisdiction.
