One of the most important aspects of 911 service is having an address tied tot he phone number - in case you're icapacitated, under duress or otherwise unable to speak. Can you register an address to a prepaid phone?

Aside from GPS and/or network-based location, some prepaid carriers have a way for their customers to provide their street address.  Tying a street address to a mobile phone number isn't very reliable, since the mobile phone customer may be away from home.  However, some mobile phone carriers have a way for their customers to register an address.

Furthermore, if the community and its PSAP subscribe to Smart911, then residents can create a Smart911 profile, and add as many telephone numbers as necessary, mapped to their home address.  Smart911 service is free to consumers, since it's baked into 911 fees.  https://www.smart911.com/
