Quoth smileyeagle1021 View Postno, it wouldn't... that's the thing... she was calling from an outside line, so if she called there would be no record of it in our system (and actually with our phones it just flashes an alarm on the monitor, no noise that I'm aware of).
and yes, that is the beauty of the night audit, while I'm the only one there I am the god of that hotel...If you wish to find meaning, listen to the music not the song

fun isn't it? And it's a bitch and a half to turn it off because as long as the guest is on the line talking to 911, the consol will continue to beep.
That part I figured out when I had to call 911 because I was robbed earlier this year.Ridiculous 2009 Predictions: Evil Queen will beat Martha Stewart to death with a muffin pan. All hail Evil Queen! (Some things don't need elaboration.....) -- Jester

When I was a wee teen, I had a BF who's home number was X91-1XXX. And if I was feeling partiularly lazy or in a hurry to dial, and hit the "REDIAL" button, Id get routed to 911.
This caused me particular panick on a night that I wasnt supposed to be on the phone in the first place so I was hiding in my room with the cordless, and my BF and i were fighting and he kept hanging up on me, so Id hit redial. I ended up calling 911 about 3 times that night before I hung up for good. ... then the cops showed up and asked my dad to look around the house. They had gotten a call with the sound of a girl crying.....

We had a room with unsupervised kids that kept calling 911. Either they were unsupervised or their parents were idiots who couldn't keep their brats under control.
After the third or fourth prank call the 911 dispatcher called me and asked what the story was with 212 and i explained the dumbass parent situation. 15 minutes later a K9 unit shows up and heads to the room.
After that, not a peep.
Oh and our phones can be turned off but they can always call 911.

Quoth AdminAssistant View PostAnyone else thinking of "The Misbehavers" (Four Rooms)??"That's too bad. Hospitals aren't fun to fight through."

When I worked for the phone company . . .where I live they were just wrapping up making it possible for every land line to have the ability to call 911 even if there is no active phone line.
This was because people with limited income should still be able to get help/ assistance in an emergency. (and non payment turn off - prevent law suits) In other words you hook a phone up to the land line and when you pick it up you don't get a dial tone because you don't have service . . .but you dial 911 and your call will go through.

oh and on an unrelated notes, we have gotten some fun calls, I had one person agree to reserve the room only if I came with it... I think they were a former employee...
"No, do you provide ROOM service?"
That's when she finally picked up on this inuendo. Needless to say she was pissed.To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

Quoth smileyeagle1021 View Postyeah, i think that lady was prank calling... I think she knew damned well that there wasn't any drug activity going on in room 201 and that if she called the police she'd be charged with filing a false report but if she could get someone else to call the police then whoever it was in 201 she had a grudge against would have the hassle of the police showing up and someone else gets the blame for filing a false report... or something like that...I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
