though it's pretty much been covered at this point, i just wanted to confirm that you will get a local 911 operator. I formerly worked for a national wireless provider, and they take 911 calls pretty seriously, before activating any new cell towers a 911 test must be performed to make sure they route the calls to the proper authority. while you could still not get the exact closest dispatcher (for example, if you are close to a town or state border, etc) you will get one very near by, not one from your phone's home area code.
