911 phone call charges?

[jdmfanatic]

My friend had to call 911 on his cell, something serious happened while playing bare tackle football.

How much would they charge his cell? (San Francisco)

 

[the hater boxden]

why would they charge him?
i've never heard of this, if anything its free since 911 is registered as an emergency number and you can dial it without service on your phone

 

[roback1991]

It's free. In fact, you can call 911 on a cell phone that's not even activated.

 

[yarrh]

it's $60 per minute where i'm from

they will charge him if a ambulance came and took him away but not on the phone bill.

Yeah, he'll receive a invoice in the mail from the City of Wherever.

 

[jdmfanatic]

It's not free, an ambulance came and took him.
Does anyone know how much it would charge? (Approximation)

911 wont charge you....he will get a bill later in the mail for the ambulance fee around 50-??? bucks depending how far the ambulance had to drive and whatkind of treatment they gave him inside the ambulance

I meant to tell you the charge is for the public services.

You must be crazy.. as low as $50 for an ambulance ride??

 

[jcsellsf]

you are charged a tax for 911 on your phone bill. but they wont charge you when u call 911.

 

[cicero avenue dopeman]

like I said before an ambulance ride cost like $600

The ambulance/hospital bill varies. Also his insurance, (assuming he has one) should cover some of it.

My friend got into a rollover accident where she had to be transported to the hospital and the hospital and ambulance bills came out to thousands of dollarssince she had no insurance. And in the end she came out with bumps and bruises seriously. But just because she got a ride and stayed in the hospital for sometime it racks up. And like I said, she didn't even have surgery didn't even use a bandaid. I think all she did was like an x-ray to check for brokenbones and soemthing to scan for internal injuries.
