I'm glad I've got 911 support now.
Don't you have a cellphone?
A cellphone does not give you e911 service. It will not give emergency services your exact address. In the event that the person calling cannot speak or does not know the address can cause potentially devastating and life threatening effects.

It'd give them more than enough.
GPS and/or cellphone triangulation are used to determine a 911 callers location.
If you live in a single story building, they know exactly where you are.
If you live in a multistory building, they will knock until they find you.
If you cannot speak and you have a 911 call going they will dispatch and they will find the phone that has 911 dialed.
Course if you cannot speak, what caused you to be unable to speak yet capable of dialing 911?
Devastating and life threatening effects?
I don't know where you live but I've never seen a police arrive early enough to actually stop anything.
They just press charges after the fact.
If you are incapable of speaking due to medical reasons, it's probably too late for you anyways.

Wow, some really dumb generalizations there.
A heart attack. A stroke. Losing consciousness after you dial. Yeah, I guess I would just rather die in those situations since obviously nothing can be done to intervene at that point.
Go ahead and roll dice with your life or the life of a loved one while the paramedics knock on every door of a multi unit building where seconds may count.
I hope you never need attention for the things you so glibly glossed over.
Your right, it's not worth the .80/ month that Anveo charges for e911.

If you are so concerned about these things happening to you, perhaps you should get life alert or something more serious than just e911.
Both heart attacks and strokes are very avoidable.
Both these fatal illnesses can be easily avoided by having a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a healthy diet.
Have faith friend, you can free yourself from your fear with a little prevention.
Police Dispatchers will always ask your location if you can talk.
If calling for a family member, you will not be advantaged by having proper e911.
