No jokes in this post. Learned something about cell phones today that I was unaware of. About a month or two ago I switched my cell phone over from Alltel to Verizon.
My 8 year old wanted to play with my old cell phone. Since the number was ported over to the new phone about a month or so ago I didnt' have to worry about him placing any calls. (So I thought).
I verified before giving him the phone that he could play with, it dial numbers, and didn't have to worry.
He told me he wanted to dial 991. (He keeps wanting to call it 991 instead of 911). So he's outside playing with the phone and comes back in in a panic because he said somene answered the phone and he knows not to call 911 unless it's an emergency.
To verify I called 911 from the cell phone myself and sure as crap somebody answered. So I explained to them what happened.
So to make a short story long, even if your cell phone has it's service disconnected it appears that you can still carry it around for an emergency if you need to dial 911. (I don't know if that works with all cell phones or not)
