Re: vonage 911 service

["Doug L" <vssdoug@xxxxxxx>]

To be honest I don't know, I was under the assumption that once a VoIP
customer had entered the information then any 911 call would automatically
be forwarded to a regional 911 call center. When I first read the email I
made a probably incorrect assumption that the call was put on hold by a 911
operator, not a Vonage operator.
In any event his house would have probably burnt down anyway.

I did find an article on 911 abuse and misuse which although not really
relevant to this thread had some interesting statisitcs regarding cell phone
use and the number of false emergency calls made to 911(US) and 999(UK)
emergency services.
