Re: VOIP E911, good news amid the bad
I've had to call a few (2 or 3) times under Sunrocket and Viatalk, and it's worked okay. I'm sure it does for most.
I did notice that my initial Viatalk E-911 settings were blank and I had to fill them in manually -- this worried me on behalf of other people, but it was during the SR exodus so I let it slide. I hope they're pre-filled these days for new accounts.
I recall one time we accidentally called and hung up. No one ever came by or called back. I'm almost certain that was due to sloth on the part of the "PSAP" personnel, not any failing of my VoIP provider. (No caller-ID block either, so even without E-911 they should have called back.)
By the way, despite the general advice to do it, as far as I know there's STILL no reliably uniform and safe way to schedule a test E-911 call.
