1 edit | Mandatory 911 Service
When I was signing up with Callcentric, it is mandatory for them to provide me with E911 service. Is this the same? Is there way to opt out of it as I have the local emergency number(the 911 calls that routes to) programmed into my * box. It's like a ~$3 fee, but it's almost as expensive as my DID! |

2 edits | I believe E911 is: "Previously VoIP carriers merely forwarded your emergency call to a PSAP."
This is ONE big reason I do not rely on cell phone 911 or VoIP E911 service - with 2 kids I want to connect to the right place without the middleman.
quote:
...is a North American telecommunications based system that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number, and routes the call to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for that address. The caller’s address and information is displayed to the PSAP calltaker immediately upon call arrival.
