RW> With a cell phone, it's different; you dial the number of the
 RW> country code, 91, the city code, 11 and then the number. Since
 RW> there is no 911 emergency numbers on cellular service,

i can agree with all this up to this last sentence portion... i've never
done anything other than dial 911 on my sprint cell phone when i've needed
to contact emergency or police services... it has worked when on the
highway when i've witnessed the final stages of a rollover in the median at
2AM as well as calling for "assistance" when following a vehical
that can't decide whether to straddle the center line or the white sideline
of the pavement...

granted, it may be special programming within my cellular network or phone
but i haven't had to do anything special other than simply dial 911 and hit
the send button... it may very well be similar to the *HP stuff that is
also specially programed by the cellular companies to ring up the highway
patrol...

FWIW: yes, when i've called 911 on my cellphone, i've always gotten the
local 911 service available in the area where the cell tower i was
accessing was located... in a few instances, it was necessary for them to
transfer me to the 911 service in another county because i had not yet been
switched to the cell tower local to the incident that i was calling
about...
