Cell Phones and 911

Did you know that you can call 911 from a cell phone in an emergency and it will not use your minutes? You can. Be sure that you have a true emergency!!

You can also use a cell phone that you no longer have service or minutes for to call 911. All it needs is a charged battery. Turn it on and dial 911 in an emergency.

*** Parents *** Do not let children play with your cell phone, even if you have no service on it. It can still call 911. The center receives numerous calls throughout the year from children playing on cell phones. When 911 operators/dispatchers answer these calls, it ties them up which may cause someone with a true emergency to have to wait. 911 hang up calls could cost someone else their life if they cannot reach us for help because you are playing on the phone !!

False 911 calls and hang ups can lead to law enforcement investigations with cooperation from your cell or telephone company.
If you think it is funny to make false 911 calls or hang ups, you may not be laughing when you spend time in jail or detention.
