Just so you are aware old cell phones still can be used

To call 911. I keep some of our old ones with their car chargers in our cars for emergencies:

CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill., July 5 Emergency dispatchers in Carpentersville, Ill., say a child playing with a deactivated cell phone dialed 911 emergency 287 times.

QuadCom emergency center dispatchers said the 4-year-old girl eventually gave out her address when a dispatcher agreed to fill her McDonald's order, the Elgin (Ill.) Courier-News reported Thursday.

However, the center sent police to the home instead of cheeseburgers.

Federal Communications Commission regulations require deactivated cell phones to retain 911 capability -- a feature the child's mother said she was unaware of, the newspaper said. However, since the phone was deactivated, it did not give out a return phone number or other information when the 911 calls were made.
