Is it good practice/good etiquette to test E911?

fisamo,

Just to be clear, so the Wake county dispatch office sees your E911 address when you call 911 from your VOIPo phone? I am curious, since I think I live close to you.

As I recall, my address did come up, but it was early in the beta.

One thing that might be different in our cases, though, is that I live in Apex, so my 911 calls will get routed to the county dispatch. I believe Cary operates its own PSAP, so the calls may actually go to different places. There's no harm in testing to be sure--just make sure you call Cary PD first and clear it with them.

PS: We do live pretty close together--1.7 miles as the crow flies, about 4.6 miles by road (according to Google Maps).

PS2: No, I'm not stalking you.
