911 would know where you are in a remote car accident if you had a
landline back home?

How is that relevant to my argument that I'm not getting rid of my
landline until E-911 Phase II is complete?

The point is that when I'm at home, I like knowing that I can pick up the
phone, dial 911, then not even have to talk if I can't...

I don't need for the E-911 stuff to work _anywhere_, I would gladly settle
for it being able to tell the 911 operators both my home address & the
fact that I'm at home when appropriate.

I'll be happier when E-911 does work anywhere, for the reason you
mentioned, but as for right now I'm not willing to give up my landline
because I don't want to lose a 'feature'.

You guys buy cars, and then complain about buying gasolene?

Uh... I suppose, if I bought a conversion kit (a net adapter) to make the
car work on a different type of fuel (my home network), but I still needed
gasoline to start the engine (guided setup), then yeah, I'd complain.

O clueless one, there are still a ton of places in the US where
there is absolutely NO cellular service.

They'll wake up and join the 21st century soon enough.


If it was as easy as just 'waking up' it would be done already, its a
MONEY issue, so unless you want your beloved cell phone bill to
increase I would be hppy with what you have and forget abouteLandline
obsolesence any time soon.

I don't know about yours, but when I had a prepaid phone, I had to
keep replenishing it every 30-45 days with a minimum amount like $10
with everything rolling over. If your is similar, then I'd consider
that monthly a cellphone bill. Either that, or I didn't really have a
true prepaid phone, which is more likely. (at&t Free2go phone)
