I went to a cell phone place and asked if I could buy a used phone
for this purpose. He told me that 911 works sometimes on a phone
that's not active, but not always and can't be depended on. Granted,
he's a salesman, but I'd want more assurance it would work before
going this route.

There's still a $10 "friend's" plan where you can get an active cell
phone for $10 as a second unit on an existing account. I'm thinking
of going this route. You just need to know someone with a cell
phone.
