911/E911
TouchTone Hosted phone service is E-911 (Enhanced 911) compliant, a helpful free feature that provides customers with reliable 911 services (where available). 911 calls are routed to designated Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) such as your local or county police, fire, and rescue departments. E-911 automatically provides PSAPs with the telephone number of the 911 call, and is also capable of transmitting the customer's name and home address to assist in dispatching emergency care. It is advised that customers still maintain another phone line, whether landline or cell phone, for emergency services. |
