[ARCHIVED] Calling 911 from a cell phone

911 from Cellphone

While cell phones can be helpful to access 911 services, they have limitations.

Be aware that your call can fail with poor or no reception due to things like geography/environment, adverse weather conditions, building materials/structures and remote areas.

If your call fails, consider:
- calling from a landline
- moving locations

Know your location!
- Pay attention to road signs when travelling, especially in rural areas, so you can provide an accurate location should something happen
- Know your blue sign (rural address)

Visit the Alberta 911 website for a great fact sheet and brochure!
