That being said...I haven't had a land line for 10+ years.
E911 in NH has the ability to locate a call from a cell phone to within 100 feet of a phone providing the phone is on.

See http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/e...nfo/index.html

There is a wealth of information here regarding 911. If you have love ones with a disability or mobility issues, please have them fill out an ALI form. This program is unique to NH.
