Best Answer

It depends on the specific mobile phone. Many mobile phones (cell phones) will connect a call to 911 if you dial 911, although there may be a pause before the call goes through. Some phones will even connect you to 911 if you press and hold the 9 key. However, if you are in doubt, pressing 9-1-1-Send will always connect you to 911, anywhere in the US or Canada.
