use of cell phones while riding

["Michael K. Maul" <mmaul@galaxy.nsc.com>]

It may not happen everywhere but I believe it is federal law
that all carriers for cellular must service a 911 call whether
you have service with them or not.

I did a test once with a unregistered cell phone in Texas
and did get 911 service on it.

But you do have to be in range of some tower...

In response to:
enough "strength" to reach out and grab the waves up above. Also, a person runs 
into scenarios like; "no" towers nearby and/or "guess what?" telephone companies 
that don't have mutual agreements allowing the use of each other's towers! 
Namely AT&T and Southwestern Bell. But alas, until something better comes along,
