Cellphone charge for 911 calls

A cellphone charge could come to Albertan’s for 911 calls.

It is expected to be introduced in the legislature in the spring.

The bill would see 44 cents added per month to cell phone bills.

Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths says that it would help look after the problem of accidental 911 calls.

It is estimated that 1 in every 10 emergency phone calls made is a mistake.
