Re: Speakeasy Voice! Adam,
I'm very confused. Your message and the press release state that Speakeasy will be offering true E911 service. But the actual Terms of Service, state very much the opposite. Since the Terms of Service is the contract between me and Speakeasy, if it says there is no true E911, then there is no E911.
Given that it's nearly impossible to test E911 without getting into trouble with the dispatch people, I would not order Speakeasy VOIP with those Terms of Service. Care to explain?

| I noticed the same verbose disclaimers regarding 911 in the Speakeasy voice TOS when I signed up today. While I would certainly prefer full E911 service, I'm willing to forego that for now. Besides our cell phones, we'll have a second, completely separate POTS line with measured service and no features. They're very cheap.
A separate voice line with a modem on it is a handy backup for Speakeasy/Covad outages (which have been infrequent so far). Since it's a separate loop, it will work even if the primary (DSL) loop is physically cut. |

I don't think you would get in trouble for making a test call. I have done that many times...whenever I move, change providers...or do anything else that impact my phone service....call 911 and make it clear that you are making a test call and verify the info that is populated on the dispatchers screen.

It's not difficult at all. Call your local police station, and explain to them that you are using a VOIP service, and you would like to test and verify that your information is transmitted correctly, and ask them the proper way to proceed.
