Re: What happens when you dial "0" using VOIP serv Sure, an automatically routed call from a number everyone could remember would certainly be ideal. I agree this is preferrable to dialing an operator or some additional, potentially unknowledgeable, person for assistance. I was just wondering if dialing 0 would still be viable in the event of 911 not being available or down due to a glitch.
OK, so scratch dialing 0 as a quick backup plan.
Still, there are 7 (or 10) digit emergency numbers to each of the various local emergency services. Would it also not be possible to use directory services to look such numbers up if not able to patch one through?
Sure, I realize this isn't as good as an automatically routed 911 call, certainly not as fast, and that when people are under pressure, viable options don't always present themselves at the moment you need them.
But I'm just thinking 'what if...?' here. |
