The 911 system is to blame. They just created another tax to call police, fire or EMTs. Police and Fire are already paid by municipal taxes, Why do we have to pay extra to call them?

Unless you decline the offer to pay. I was moving and was gonna put my new address in and got a confusing link to pay, declined it and my 911 bar/button is gone.

It irks me to no end that there's a $10 yearly charge for your own ported phone number that they do absolutely nothing to maintain ... zero maintenance on their end, absolutely no fees or labor incurred by them. Charging for 911 now just adds more insult to this money-grabbing scheme.



That $10 ...

From what I understand Magic Jack is not charging, they are just making you pay the local tax that the 911 services charge.

It's optional and is not needed.

Instead just call your non emergency number and ask if they can give you a number for dispatch and they can do what 911 does or route you to ...

Once I put a contact in and try to edit the name I can, but if I try to organize it alphabetically it won't let me. If I try to rename something like Dad with z dad, to make it last and easy to find it will stay with the D instead of Z, is there any way to alphabetize contacts once they are edited?
