Enhanced e911

Telair provides enhanced e911 service for $1/month. You must activate this feature per phone number in order to have e911 activated. While enhanced e911 is the most advanced form of emergency dialing service available, there are some limitations when it is provided by a VoIP provider such as Telair. Therefore, you should always have an alternative means of accessing emergency service.  

The greatest difference between e911 service and traditional 911 service is Telair's reliance upon a functioning internet connection and power source to the device and network. Electrical power outages and disruptions to your high-speed service connection will disrupt your Telair service, and you will be unable to complete 911 calls. Calls to 911 service route to the appropriate emergency dispatch based on the telephone number you have chosen and the geographic location that you have provided to Telair. E911 must be available in your area for Telair to offer you service. 

With Enhanced 911, the emergency operator receives the name, address, and origination phone number of the caller based on the 911 information you have provided within your console. In most cases your call is answered and address information is attempted to be confirmed before passing the call to the appropriate emergency service provider. This is the type of Emergency Service that is provided by traditional local phone service and also provided by Telair. Some people like to refer to it as "real 911". This just means that Telair's e911 functions like traditional 911, routing to the same emergency call centers and providing the same level of identification support. However, please remember that there are serious limitations associated with 911 service provided by Telair, and you should always maintain an alternative means of accessing emergency service. 

Telair services are portable to any location with broadband Internet access. If you travel, your device or softphone will continue to work. However, do NOT dial 911 whenever using your Telair equipment in a location other than the service address associated with your Telair account, since emergency service will not be properly dispatched. If you move or intend to use your Telair services Frequently while away from your registered e911 address on your phone number, you must update your new location in order for 911 to function properly. Remember, you should always maintain an alternative means of accessing emergency service.
