Who exactly will I be talking to when I dial 911 from an internet cafe in Puerto Vallarta through my Virgina VOIP account with a California Billing address?
Even more interesting, what if you have a heart attack and a helpful local picks up your phone and dials 060? Normally, in Puerto Vallarta this is the emergency number. Or perhaps the helpful person is a tourist who knows that the worldwide standard for cellular emergency numbers is to dial 112. What will happen then with your mobile SIP phone? --Michael Dillon P.S. in England, you would dial 999. In Australia you would dial 000. And in Russia you would dial 01 for the fire service, 02 for police or 03 for ambulance.
