VoIP Subscriber Tips
New and existing subscriptions to an interconnected VoIP service provider should address the following
points:
•
Provide accurate physical address information to the VoIP service provider to ensure that emergency
services can quickly be dispatched to the location.
•
Be familiar with the VoIP service provider’s procedures for updating the address and promptly update
address information in the event of a change.
•
Have a clear understanding of any limitations of the local 911 service.
•
Be aware that VoIP telephone services may not work if the power is out or the Internet connection is
down. Consider installing a backup power supply, maintaining a traditional telephone line, or having
a wireless telephone as a backup.
