Be sure 911 is Supported To Your VOIP

Post by Axvoice123 »

Hi Guys,

All Internet Phone services providers are supposed to be setup so that they support 911 (or E-911) services in case of emergency. Normally you see, with a traditional phone line, if you call 911, they can tell where you are calling from. But this same ability does not exist with a VOIP phone, so you need to register your VOIP phone with the service so that if you call 911 from your VOIP phone, the emergency responders will know where to go.

Thanks for your concern but here we have fully functional E-911 service, which is tested twice monthly.

Are the 911 calls routed to my local 911 dispatch center or to a "national call center" first?
