I needed to get a local number from another county so i purchased the boost phone with unlimited. My question is when i activated it i simply used a local number to the area i wanted. It did give me a number that people without long distance could call me. Does doing this have any effect on when i dial 911 from my actual home on the phone. In other words will my 911 calls now get routed automatically to that counties 911 center? Or does it get routed to the dispatch center of the county that the phone is in when the 911 call is placed?

thanks guys, no landline at all in my house and this was a concern that i didnt think about until after i made the decision. 911 always asked me what township i lived in (but doesnt have to transfer the call) its just i was uncomfortable thinking they might get routed to another county. i live on a very rural road thats a main route for a very popular bar and actually use 911 on average of once a month.

I am a boost mobile customer who recently used e911 from my i776.

The 911 operator was able to pinpoint my location using the GPS feature in my phone and transfered my call to the correct agency.

The transfer felt quick, and solid. They made me feel like they have done this before, just another day in the office.

Perhaps they have gotten all the bugs out? The e911 system has matured over the years.
