While it is possible to dial 9-1-1 from your cellular
telephone in Alcorn County, please keep in mind that the call taker
answering your call will not know your exact location. It is also possible
that the 9-1-1 call taker will not be provided with your wireless phone
number. Keeping these things in mind, it is important for you to assist
the call taker in locating you! Further, if you are calling 9-1-1 from
your cellular phone near a county line, your call may first be routed
to a dispatch center other than ours.
