But you still speak to the emergency service operator and they will ask you for the location of the incident. They don't just rely on the CLI data, unless the call drops out.

Ahh so you don't give the operator any incident details?

Agree with Mattb and Numbers ^^^.. - Once connected to the service they will ask you where it is, whats the situation, etc etc.. - The "POLICE FIRE AMBULANCE" bit, is just the "connection to service" line. You will then get connected to the appropriate service in the state and be able to tell them what is going on.

already answered mby Matt, but i take it you must have been calling SAAS or SAPOL? only one commcen for each in SA, so they should be able to connect you based on which tower you are bouncing off?
not sure how this would work in border areas...
