Sean is right, unless the DID is registered with the provider accepting the 911 call they can reject the call. I buy 911 service for my customers in cases like this and register the DID to the service individually.
So lets be careful here and explain to our customers the risks. I'm not sure this 911 regulation we're referring to earlier deals with all the possibilities such as remote PBX as a service, with PBX to PBX callers, services from other countries, ENUM, and others. Responsibility is inevitably on the buyer. If there to feel too comfortable by you that there protected, and there not, you could find yourself liable. -Antony. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Healy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 6:20 PM To: Mike Ashton Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] 911 and VoIP Mike Ashton wrote: > > I have the same question on the liability side.

But be careful about doing this. Does your outgoing provider allow the home number to be routed to their 911 service? I asked this same question of our providers several months ago. I thought I would put their local PSTN number in for emergency on an extension, but I was told that they would not terminate the 911 call as it doesn't belong to their network. So, in the scenario where I have multiple incoming providers, we need to make sure emergency calls are routed back through the correct provider to ensure they terminate. Or sign-up with someone like Northern 911 directly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
