the 5G wifi puts me in las Vegas but I live in Cypress California.  My cell phone and home phone use the T Mo 5G to connect (when at home, because my T-moble cell service sucks at my home).  My home phone connects through OOMA.  If I were to make a 911 call, can the police or fire department correctly fine my location?

@poiboy, if your cell phone is set to use Wi-Fi calling when you are at home, in your phone's Settings - Wi-Fi screen there should be a setting called something like "Emergency Address". That's the address the 911 dispatcher would see if you make a 911 call.

I'm not familiar how the OOMA service works.
