I always wondered about 911 if I ditched my landline and stuck with my Verizon cell phone. I didn't want to dial it as a false alarm, just to find out! Last week we were in a car accident in Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans that is farther out than we usually go.

Frank borrowed my cell phone to call 911. I was thrilled to hear that he was immediately connected directly with the Kenner PD! So, apparently our 911 service on Verizon is great.

When we move to Missouri, I am thinking about ditching my landline since that was really my last objection to doing so.
