To those using prepaid phones as "other than phones", please remember that they will still dial 911, even if they are never activated. This is by federal law. If a phone has power, it can call emergency services. This will not be a problem in 99.9% of cases, but accidental calls have been made, by adults and children. Just wanted to give a reminder, not a lecture. If you do every accidentally call 911, please explain what happened and don't just hang up because they are required to try to find out if there is a problem and will only have a general location ping from gps. They will also not be able to call the phone back, because it has no service and technically no phone number. It always showed up on our screen as unknown (911), or something like that. Don't get me started on the officers who couldn't understand and would insist we call them back, multiple times.
