Best Answer

The location of the caller can be determined on CDMA networks by Assisted GPS, a combination of GPS and cell tower triangulation. GSM netowrks use Time Difference of Arrival, which is similar to GPS but the networks are determining the time difference instead of a satellite

Once the caller's location is determined, the correct PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) is located via a street database.

Can you dial 911 to get help for a person who is out of state My cellphone is CA number but I am visiting PA when I dial 911 in PA does it go to a CA dispatcher or PA dispatcher?

the 911 dispatcher your call is routed to is determined by which tower picks up your call. so any cell phone dialed in PA would route through the nearest tower and to a local dispatcher. some areas route cell calls to the highway patrol dispatcher but you'll get help locally either way.

Can you Dial 911 without a sim card?

Yes, in most areas, but BE SURE to stay on the line and give them your location, because they CANNOT automatically determine it like they can with a wired phone. They can usually get your general area by triangulating the cell tower signals, but that takes a few minutes, and then a few minutes more to find you within that area, and a few minutes can be the difference between life and death.
