This is true - another interesting note (and I'm not sure if you'd get this
everywhere) - when we recently (this weekend) called 911 from a cell phone
we noticed that the phone was then "locked" in Emergency mode because
dispatch had somehow locked it and were traking us via GPS.

It was kind of creepy but cool and somewhat reassuring at the same time.
Thanks,
