Ease-of-use in an emergency:

A cell phone takes several steps to initiate a call. That may include turning it on, flipping it open, getting it in call mode and dialing 911 and then send. The previous steps seem simple in day-to-day use, but during an emergency (depending upon the nature of the problem) those simple steps might be difficult, if not impossible, to complete.

911 does not know who you are:

Emergencies take many forms, and at times present difficult challenges. There are some situations like a stroke, heart attack, diabetic shock, bad slip-and-fall accidents, etc. which could render you unable to communicate effectively. Let’s say you get through the several steps to place an emergency call. 911 does not know who you are and you have to be able to communicate who you are and what your problem is in order for them to dispatch help.

911 does not know where you are:

So you’ve gotten your cell phone to dial 911, you’ve told them your name, now you must know where you are to get help. What if you are traveling and you are not familiar with the road or street names? What if you’re starting to lose consciousness? You may be at home or you may be outside and away from home.  Think of the situations where you can get confused during an emergency. In fact, the Oakland (CA) Police Department goes so far as to advise: “DO NOT CALL 911 from a cell phone.”

911 operators do not know who your emergency contacts are:

911 operators do not know your family members’ names or telephone numbers, or if you have a hospital preference. Who will notify your loved ones, when you can’t?
