Use 911 id you are using your cell phone for an emergency. I had previously suggested using direct numbers but it was pointed out that 911 will almost always have more operators on duty. Other reasons were advised to me but 911 has access to your cell phone's "GPS" co-ordinates and can relay them to MP if you lose the connection.

Refer to Skip's posts above for more detail.

Good luck!
