Does 911 on a deactvated home phone line?

Question

someone told 911 will still work on a deactivated home phone. long as the phone lines are hooked up. But i cant find any info on it.

Answer 1

should work as long as ur phones still plugged in. cell phones with no service (as long as they have a signal), pay phones, and land lines should all be free to call 911. or at least thats the way it is in NC

Answer 2

yes it will still work just plug it in as you would if you had service and it should work.

Answer 3

It depends on your service provider...I think AT&T and Verizon are activated. But not sure about any other phone companies.

Answer 4

I doubt it will work.  Once deactivated you won't have a dial tone, so can't dial.

Answer 5

I know it works on a cell phone...but i am not sure about a home phone.

Answer 6

Yes, it will work with Verizon for sure, not sure about any others though.
