Senior citizen at age of 80, they will not be able to move fast to a videophone and what if they fell? They cant dial 911. That if they dont have pager on them. Yet the pager do not have 911 profile and its mobile. Its easier to assign 911 profile to a home that does not change often.[/QUOTE]

Right, We need e911 system (not traditional 911) in videophone till end of December 31 by FCC rule. Sorenson VRS, ATT Vrs and few VRS have 911 systems. Deafies have send info of address, city and state to VRS that were waste of time. That not so worth.

Senior citizen can dial one as e911 in vp once and may use ASL or not before emergency service is coming faster.
