Re: vonage 911 service

["Bob Worthy" <securinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vontages contract, I believe in paragraph four, specifically spells out that
it is their 911 customer service feature, or something like that, I don't
have it where I am at right now. But it is a no liability type clause for
any failure of their 911 service. But hey no one reads anything anyway. Not
picking on Vonage, but in this arena their name spills out like ADT's.
