USING CELL PHONES TO CALL FOR HELP
In the city of Los Angeles (and most surrounding areas) calling 911 from a cell phone may not get you the help you need when you need it. Landlines are ALWAYS better for the police or fire department to locate you, and get there more quickly. Cell phone calls are plotted on a map, but it\'s not the exact location - usually within a few hundred YARDS! Also, you'll get through to the correct entity faster calling from a landline. When calling from a cell phone, your call is directed based on where the nearest cell tower is, which could be miles away from you, causing multiple transfers. Tell your loved ones that they NEED a landline in their home!!If you MUST call from a cell phone - ALWAYS know where you are, what the nearest cross street is and if possible, what direction - if you are driving.
