If you have or are thinking of subscribing to an interconnected VoIP service, you should:
- Provide your accurate physical address to your interconnected VoIP
service provider to ensure that emergency services can quickly be
dispatched to your location. - Be familiar with your VoIP service provider’s procedures for updating your address, and promptly update address information in the event of a change.
- Have a clear understanding of any limitations of your 911 service.
- Inform children, babysitters, and visitors about your VoIP service and its 911 limitations, if any.
- If your power is out or your Internet connection is down, be aware that your VoIP service may not work. Consider installing a backup
power supply, maintaining a traditional phone line, or having a wireless phone as a backup. - If you have questions about whether the phone service you are receiving is an interconnected VoIP service, contact your service provider for further information.
