[comp.dcom.telecom] Caller-ID in Emergency Calls

Carl Moore (VLD/VMB) <cmoore@brl.mil> (06/26/90)

Notice appears in the San Francisco, California call guide (Pacific
Bell?)  warning that your address and phone number are subject to
being displayed if you call 911.  It goes on to say that if you do NOT
want such information displayed, you should call the seven-digit
emergency number.


[Moderator's Note: Here in Illinois, the state law which required 911
service to be installed statewide ASAP also required that all
emergency service agencies maintain an administrative seven digit
number for the reasons you note.  PT]
