[QUOTE="swd, post: 5014403, member: 19746"] I am not so sure this is accurate. A phone does not have to have paid service or a calling plan to make 911 calls. That is true and has been going back to at least the mid 90's. No service meaning no towers in range (usually). It MAY be possible that an AT&T phone with no reachable tower could get 911 service on a Verizon tower in the event of an emergency IF and ONLY IF it has radios compatible with Verizon built in. Not trying to start any guff. I would just hate to see someone endanger themselves on incomplete information. All that said, I am going to get the Garmin InReach. That was the device the folks I hunted with out West this year used. They spend months off grid. If that is the choice they make, it must be good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
