Dialing an Emergency Number from a Mobile Phone
When dialing 911 from a landline, the call is routed to a dispatch center near you, and emergency responders know your location. When dialing 911 from a cell phone, however, the call is often routed to a regional dispatch center, and dispatchers might not be able to tell your location.Another option is *55, the Emergency Report Line for the Missouri State Highway Patrol. When dialed from a mobile phone, *55 will connect you with the nearest MSHP Troop Headquarters, and state troopers can then respond to an incident and connect with local emergency responders if necessary.
