When I purchased the e911 service I did not have a CC account. After I got a CC account, I did not even think about their e911 service. I have now looked at both, and CC does not appear to offer an e911 service that will text and email you if the service is used. I would really like to be notified if my wife or kids has an emergency while I am away from the house. If CC offered that level of service, I would probably switch. Good idea.
