911 Dialing
Do I need to test 911 Dialing?
No. You do not need to test 911 Dialing. If you have received an email confirmation from Vonage stating that your 911 Dialing has been activated, then 911 Dialing will work should you ever need it. Please note, testing 911 Dialing when there is not an emergency can be punishable by law in certain states. We advise you to check your local and state laws for more information. If you do choose to test 911 Dialing, you must immediately inform the emergency response personnel that it is not an emergency and that you are testing your Vonage 911 service to make sure it's working. If they ask why you are testing the system, explain that you are using an Internet phone service that operates differently than the traditional phone company. If the operator tells you to dial another number, please inform Vonage Customer Care at 1-VONAGE-HELP (1-866-243-4357).
The state of Minnesota encourages Minnesota residents to test Vonage 911 Dialing once.
If you would like to find out the status of your 911 dialing you may dial 933 from your Vonage phone. By Dialing 933, Vonage will let you know where your call will route to when you dial 911.
So there is a test.... sort of, at least with vonage. It tells you whether 911 has been set up for your phone (something the customer is required to do), but doesn't tell you where exactly the call is going.
Minnesota has the right idea. One call and one call only.
