do I really need to set up 911 on GV/Obi110, if there are 3 cell phones at home?

I got rid of landline several years ago and have been using Vonage.   I'm still new to Obi110 & Google Voice, but I think I'll get rid of Vonage in a month or two as well.

The only thing that I'm wondering about is 911.  There are 3 cell
phones at home.(3 active lines on Verizon Wireless)  In addition, I
also have 5 old/deactivated spare Verizon cell phones, but they can
dial 911 just fine.

I taped the phone numbers of the local 911 center(in local 10-digit form), the police, as well as the nearest fire station on all  the corded/cordless phones connected to the Obi110, just in case.

In addition, three of my neighbors are police officers(one next door
and the others 4 and 7 doors down)  :)

Having all that available... should I even bother with setting up
some sort of 911 dialing on my Obi110?

Thanks!

You should setup your OBi to dial the local emergency number WHEN you dial 911.  Search the forums, many posts on this.
