When I read up about it, they always suggested having a land line in addition to internet/cell line. I imagine this is why.
From Consumer Reports: but you have to be a member to read the article:
However, there are a number of drawbacks to VoIP, including issues regarding emergency 911 service. We strongly recommend that you keep a basic landline even if you get VoIP for day-to-day use.
This included all internet phoning, VoIP is just a brand as far as I know.
