T-Mobile is just the latest mobile carrier to deal with problematic 911
calls, but this time, the problems are bad. Like so bad, people are
dying. This month, numerous "ghost calls" from T-Mobile numbers flooded
911 call centers in Texas and have been linked to two deaths. And
although the calls originated from T-Mobile devices, people using all
carriers were unable to reach 911 dispatchers during the incidents.
Scarier still, nobody knows what's causing them.
