You can't triangulate a land line. It's unlikely that the pranksters called 911 directly from their own cell phone. It's true that you can't just hide it with *67, but there are ways to spoof it, often involving VOIP gateways and such.
- MichaelGG 14y agoYou can hide it with a *67 type service, depending on the PSAP. You don't dial 911, you call the admin line of the PSAP. This is a regular 10-digit number that goes to the PSAP. It's often used for VoIP 911 calls, if the VoIP/911 provider doesn't have direct connectivity to that PSAP. It's pretty common.
