Re: What happens when you dial "0" using VOIP service? WRONG operators can patch you through... based on the number you call from Ma Bell patches you right into the 911 circuits!!! or local whatever you need... |

| Re: What happens when you dial "0" using VOIP serv Sounds like I'll need to do a little more digging...
I guessing, though, that when you dial operator on a VOIP service that 'competes' with Ma Bell, you don't get Ma Bell.
Can/will the VOIP service providers' operators do the same as Ma Bell operators in terms of patching one through to the local 911 service based on the number one is calling from, even if one doesn't have an enhanced 911 service?
Guess it makes sense to either have alternate numbers handy or even programmed into speed dial, if one doesn't have an alternate phone service. |

Typical trolling post from an unregistered user....
Ma Bell can "patch you through" because the Bell company has your service address AND has already cross referenced it for 9-1-1 purposes--which is EXACTLY what the FCC is now trying to force VOIP providers to do. Your VOIP provider may well not know where you are calling from, and even if you can give an accurate address, may not have the facilities to get the necessary numbers in real time.
I repeat my earlier point--if you're going to create the database necessary for operators to do this, you're much better off making it work for 9-1-1 FIRST, and then bringing operator services on line with it later.
