    Sure, you can always reach 911, but if it works is another question. Here in Kansas City even with the tax increase for fire and police, 911 is still worthless. You will still reach 911 with Vonage, only to hear "your call is important, do not hang up!" for half an hour before you reach a human. Give another few hours for police to show up if they deem its REALLY an emergency. We approved concealed carry, because 911 is NOT working.
