but it is not something I would like to test.
Personally, I wouldn't be happy NOT testing it. I tested e911 (with Callcentric) in two locations. In one location it turned out that the e911 operator was getting incomplete address information. I would have never known that without testing. In both cases I told the operator immediately that I was just testing as my phone service had changed. Both operators thanked me for letting them know I was testing and for testing the service. I have heard it is illegal in some places to test e911. That is one law I would simply break and be willing to defend in court. How else would you know if it worked when you really needed it?

I agree 110% with everything you said. In fact, I would go step further and say you should test it once a month, maybe every two months tops! In my State/City (USA), they welcome it and my initial test shows that my e911 was showing the nearby "major" City and not the specific City I lived in. I was able to correct it immediately and retest a few days later.

Maybe that's something on the wishlist? Sort of a dummy E911 for testing purposes.
