> the only way to test is... to call 911

You should be able to use 933 to test emergency services. https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291778-Th...

Completely tangential to testing that the service connects: I have a young child and we've done practice "what do you do in an emergency" things, but are there any "fake 911" type services where a young child can call to practice a 911 call, so they can experience how the operator will talk to them, so in a real emergency it would be a bit less jarring?

Is that only a service that Bandwidth.com offers or would it work on a regular cell network?

    I think it depends on the carrier you use, but a lot of other carriers support it.

      I'm guessing pretty much all are carriers that are using Bandwidth.com for 911 service.

Okay, but that's not going through the same paths of a 911 call, is it?

And by that I mean the emergency mode of the modems
