Re: POTS 911 vs Vonage 911

said by habskilla :
The one and only time I used e911 with Vonage, resulted in Vonage transferring me to the wrong 911 centre. Caused a delay of over ~4-5 minutes. From there on, I've used my cell.

That's bad, a 4-5 minute delay. If it's a medical emergency, seconds matter. Someone can die in 4-5 minutes, if it's serious.

Read my reply below - my neighbour died for this very reason and I blame Vonage.
