I don't know i have never tried it, they get touchy if you call without an emergency. It is supposed to work differently when you type 911, if there is any cell phone service by any carrier in the area. I am sure that it is an FCC Regulation, including deactivated phones. Little consulation if you call and it does not work, but a least someone will get rich from the lawsuit.
I wonder, is Chuck admitting he is a polygamous? Erik I might be wrong Erik, but don't you need signal bars to make a 911 call?
Quoting erikhansen@TheBlueZone.net:
When calling 911 your carrier is not supposed to be an issue, even on deactivated phones. If you dial 911 and don't get connect FCC regulations have been violated. I think that also applies to 511.

I have to have cell phone access at remote dive sites incase there is an emergency requiring Advanced Life Support. AT&T provides more coverage to the sites than the other services I've tried. Keeping this topic astronomy related, I think I may invest in a "satelite" phone for those times cell service is not available. ;)

Most of the time mobile phones are as good, but all mobile service has dead spot areas. My son can only use his phone in part of his house. If you know someone who has T-Mobile see if they will come to your house and test that location.
