True or False: Cell phones always show phone numbers and addresses to emergency medical dispatchers.

The statement is false because cell phones do not always transmit phone numbers and addresses to emergency medical dispatchers. While many smartphones can provide location information through GPS, not all devices send the user's phone number or specific address automatically to emergency services. This can vary depending on the type of phone, mobile carrier, and whether the caller has enabled specific location services.

In some cases, during an emergency call, a dispatcher may receive a general location but may not have exact details about the caller's phone number or precise address unless the caller provides that information themselves. Additionally, various regions have different protocols and capabilities in their emergency dispatch systems, which further impacts the availability of such information.

This understanding highlights the importance of clearly communicating your location and any pertinent details directly to emergency services when making a call.
