can it dial friends or family before 911

Alas! That is the system's sole deficiency. It will dial only 911. I utilize a new system, made by V-Tech, that gives you a couple options. The new system has a pair of programmable buttons on the back side. Plus, the pendant responds to a handful of voice commands. And, you can answer the landline from the pendant.

It only responds to "911" - and dials directly to an emergency call for assistance.

After announcing "This is an Emergency Call", the Freedom Alert program asks the call receiver (person or machine) to press the number 5 on their phone or it will call the next number on the list. Obviously, the phone answering machine cannot press the #5, so the Freedom Alert calls the next number. Your answering machine will record the "Please press number 5" message, so even later on when you get the message, you your family member or friend was in trouble.

I don't think so. It does have a "hold" button, but I don't know how you'd alert another phone to pick the call up.

Yes. Magic jack says they do not charge for 911 service, but they charge the user any fees charged by the area the user is in.

I don't believe so. You'll haver to dial all three digits, but it will dial 911 even with the keypad locked.

The system will roll to the next number because the system is 'listening' for the receiver of the call to press a '5' on their phone and the answering machine will not do that. If you need more assistance go to www.TNTAlert.com

Absolutely! But only if your cell provider doesn't pick it up first. You may be able to set your cell phone to pick up after 5 rings, in which case the home phone answerer will pick it up first. Hope that helps.

No, it uses Bluetooth and a special app that allows you to send text messages or set emergency alerts to 911

Yes you can answer calls with the pendant. No you cannot dial other numbers with the pendant--only the programmed numbers that you choose as your emergency numbers.

There is a plus and minus symbol on the device. When it is on and you are connected to someone, press the plus symbol several times. Get a friend to call you.

it has to have Internet service that plugs into it and you have to set it up with your 911 address, once it is connected via GPS you have bars that allows your phone to be used with many bars. You have to go online to setup your phone number etc. A little difficult to connect everything but well worth it. AT &T; provides excellent help by calling a number if you have problems.

Do you support 911 calls?Yes. Ooma provides E911 service where supported. We will collect your address when you register your Ooma device online, and send it to emergency response personnel when you dial 911. Since Ooma works over your Internet connection, you will need to call from a mobile phone if your Internet connection is down. If you're concerned about relying on your Internet for phone service, we've built the Ooma system to work with a landline back-up. In this case, your 911 calls will always be routed over your landline.

Good morning and thank you for your question. Our system is manufactured to only ring to our emergency call center; it is unable to be re-programmed.

Hi, the GSM dialer can call many numbers, it depends on your alarm control panel. Thanks.

Yes. The selling point here is the shelf life of the battery and the price, not the ability to call 911.

I don't know for a fact but I assume not. They would be calling a local number. I believe it works the same as a cell phone would.
