Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
on busy day, when your trying to call on 911 on your celphone and put you on hold. does it happen you, many time it does

people calling for tow truck, or ask unnessesary question to operator. I feel we should have a 2nd number

to use,

one for 911 for emergency call such like fire police

another number for 311, for any other such like requestion tow truck service,

well at this time, were working on problem, and with cooperation like att, verizon, and cingular. with Local law enforment,

and hope well have some solution, in Los Angeles, and possible

California area.

Thank You

The problem with 911 is that a lot of people use it for everything from a loose dog to a broken water main. People do not understand that 911 is FOR EMERGENCIES -- LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCIES. Not trivial reports such as loud music, suspicious cars and that kind of thing. You would be shocked at the calls that we get on 911. Many of these calls are made by otherwise highly educated people. They just use 911 for everything. More education, not just targeted at children is needed. Add to that the chronic employee shortages at most 911 centers, and you end up having to put people on hold.

maybe 411 would be a good start for where to call. dont cell phone companies provide you with a directory that you can call to get a tow truck service?

911 is supposed to be for real emergencies. That number is reserved on every phone service for "REAL" emergencies only.......... If you are using it for other reasons you are an inconsiderate moron who is preventing someone who really needs assistance from getting it.
