VoIP Phone - VoIP 911 Tips

911 Recommendations for VoIP Subscribers

• Provide an accurate physical address to your VoIP provider to ensure emergency services are quickly and accurately dispatched in the case of an emergency.
  
  
• Know your VoIP provider’s procedure for updating physical addresses, and promptly make updates in the event of a change.
  
  
• Understand, in detail, any limitations of your VoIP 911 service and place the provided warnings on or near any VoIP related equipment.
  
  
• Clearly explain any existing VoIP 911 service limitations to children, babysitters, and visitors.
  
  
• Since your VoIP service may not work if your Internet connection is down or your power is out, consider a backup power supply, maintaining a basic traditional phone line, or having a wireless phone as backup.
