jrpowell's avatar  It is possible that the movies make shit up.
In gmail you can make phone calls. But all of those look like
they come from Escondido California. So 911 would be worthless
in that situation unless you gave them more info and they
transferred the call.  bigjay's avatar  skype lets you make 911
calls regardless of whether you are a free user or a paying one.

movies make things up. such as traveling down a weird tunnel of
cables and chips when you connect to the internet.  However, as
early as windows 95 you could make phone calls on your computer
with software that came with windows. if i remember correctly,
it was in startbar/
