Seattleweather:
So if we call the dispatch directly, the Smart911 information will not be shown on the 911 computer window.  Is it correct?

another useful thread on how smart911 info is shared with PSAPs:

http://gcn.com/Articles/2012/06/11/Can-NextGen-911-catch-up-to-moibile-communications.aspx?Page=3

"..
When a 911 call reaches the PBX or other server handling calls for an answering point using Smart911, the originating number is passed over a serial port connection to the Smart911 server, which is connected to the answering point’s local-area network. The server queries the Smart911 database, and if the phone number has a file associated with it the data is returned to the server. The server routes the information to the workstation responding to the call, where it is displayed in a computer window. Only 911 calls initiate the connection, and PSAPs cannot initiate queries of the database.

Think about it:  the Smart911 database is an enhancement that depends on...wait for it...the 911 platform.  Calling a non-911 number isn't going to use the features of 911 at all.

Isn't the added capability of Smart911 worth you paying the small cost of working 911 service?  It's the most significant enhancement to emergency assistance since the original 911 system was introduced.
