On the topic of the location of the caller, the area code might not give an accurate location if the phone used is a cell phone.

Cell 911 does not use area code or exchange in determining caller location. It is based upon a the cell towe picking up the signals from the device.

ok, thanks for the info. if so, then i would agree with previously posted sentiment to the effect that the 911 operator might also be at fault for not having checked from where the call originated.
