Aging cellphone reaches out to 911

From Times Wire Reports
A rogue cellphone is not accepting calls, but it sure likes to dial 911 operators in eastern Iowa.
Operators at the Black Hawk County Consolidated Communications Center said they received about 400 calls from the same cellphone last week and no one seems to be on the other end.
Officials can’t locate the phone but have figured out that it is an old type not currently associated with a cellphone provider. The cellphone can’t receive calls, and emergency workers haven’t been able to track the owner through service records.
