Can I Use 911 with My Cell Phone

Cellular phones can call 911 as a free call.
 
Kosciusko Communications Center is capable of receiving both Phase 1 and Phase 2 cellular 911 calls, depending on the capabilities of the cellular phone carrier.
  • Phase 1 calls display the tower location and the cell phone number.
  • Phase 2 calls display the cell phone number and the latitude and longitude of the caller within 300 meters, depending on which cell phone carrier you have.
Verizon, Nextel, Sprint PCS, and US Cellular all use a GPS chip, which is accurate within 25 meters. Centennial and T-Mobile use a triangulation chip, which is accurate within 300 meters. Check with your cell phone carrier to verify if your phone has the capabilities of delivering the 911 location.
 
All cellular 911 calls in Kosciusko County are answered by the Kosciusko Communications Center.
