rogers is waiving 911 fee fro the time u have HTC phone. if u don;t do upgrade then this fee will be waived for ever.

Since when the GPS Location is sent when you call 911? how a phone call can transmit your GPS Location?

The only location the police may have, is the location of the cell tower that transmit your call and it’s up to the carrier …

It is the software. Its like a bug in Windows, Windows Update will fix it.

If it was hardware, there would be a recall.

normally when you call 911 the gps info is sent no? maybe it has something to do with that, a bug somewhere in that process.
