If you disconnect your home phone number, can you still dial 911 and the operator in case of an emergency?

Faviola Dewire: NO! The 911 access will not work on a disconnected land phone. There is no law requiring it, unlike a cell phone.

Wilmer Skidmore: Yes of course, how else could you reach someone in an emergency?

Becky Mosena: If you disconnect your home phone, and have NO DIAL TONE, you cannot dial 911 or Operator.!!!!!! Cell phones will, however have that capability, even if disconnected....

Lyman Gauld: No, if you diconnect your home phone, you will not have 911 service.
