When you call 911 from a mobile phone, there is no guarantee emergency dispatchers can find your location. There’s a difference between calling 911 on a mobile phone and calling from a landline. The difference has to do with how the calls are routed and how they're tracked. If you know what to do, you're more likely to get the help you need when you need it. When you call 911 from a landline in most parts of the country, emergency responders can find pool--blindfolded with just sound to 2.
